Ours is a long list of things from installing roof air unit, replacing dead hot water heater and bathroom black tank/shower pan and toilet, fantastic fan and shroud in bathroom, microwave, TV and satellite receiver, new converter and shore power cord, re-orient dinette table, carpet, chairs, counter extension, drapes and insulation, gray water tank in space where spare tire used to be under the truck, storage rack on back, cargo tray/steps and awnings. Just finished a grill table for Coleman grill stove and installing gas line extension to it from propane compartment with quick connects. Yup, she's really ours now, no one else would want her, but there's no leaks or rot and she and the old Duramax get along fine without truck mods. Best of all they're all long paid for and 95% of the work was done ourselves so no huge expenses there. Satisfaction of knowing how stuff is put together and exactly how old it all is. Everyone does some little things like we did that aren't mentioned here as well. Just using it and putting your personal things in the TC makes it your own. One doesn't need to go to the lengths we did unless it's needed or you just like to tinker. It's all good fun and a real learning experience. Don't know what I'm going do for entertainment between trips when I'm finished. Can't imagine the time and work some folks put in rebuilding and modernizing some of the really old ones but I'm sure it's a labor of love and rewarding in the end.
