I can understand ... the joy of doing things yourself ... but absent a total rebuild there was no way to do many of the things I had the factory do as they involved structural parts of the camper or complete dis-assembly to reach some areas.
As for working on it, while I didn't do the actual construction I did work on it in that I actually came up with most of the ideas I had incorporated and I definitely enjoyed doing the months of research and planning that went along with that.
Then after taking possession of the unit I still did a bunch of minor things myself, such as installing an LP tank change over alarm, sealed LED tail lights and fine tuning the workings of my no exterior-vent fridge enclosure to name a few. Items that the factory could have done but that it really wasn't cost effective to let them.
But the major stamp I put on the unit to make it mine was still the modifications I had the factory do. Some of which have now become standard factory options that others can select for their camper.
When I did my first home-kitchen remodel, I did just about everything except the plumbing. But several years ago, when I did my most recent kitchen remodel, I did very little of the actual construction. But I did most all of the design and layout (though it was put on paper by the Lowes kitchen guy). Nevertheless, I am as proud of that kitchen as if I had done all of the drawing and installation myself.
So I understand what you're saying about your camper. And you must be pleased to see that others can select your ideas to incorporate into their campers.
