My new Wolf Creek 840 Modifications
I guess I should share some of my mod ideas here. 2015 Wolf Creek 840. problem was with the mid bathroom and Refreg I really can't find a way to mount the TV so I can view it from the dinette. So...

Next modification is really more comfort driven. We hate spring mattresses especially the ones we seem to get in Campers.
we borrowed a 2" memory foam topper out of our Open Range 5th wheel and it felt great, but that gave us a 10" mattress and we could not get the doors open to the cabinets. (plus it needs to go back in the Open Range, I spend a lot of them in that over the summer working.)
First problem is the Wolf Creek 840 design has the bathroom and refrigerator in the front. This makes the bedroom opening small. Much smaller than a 60x80 Mattress. The factory mattress was a steel spring type, and by the looks of it they folded it in 1/2 to put it in the bedroom (permanent V formed in both ends)
I used ratchet tie-down straps to get it back out (by myself).
Next I got some air barrier my neighbor uses when he does stucco work. It goes between the house wrap and the stucco wire.

This stuff is pretty strong, it does not crush under my weight as I walk on it.
I cut a piece of this air barrier and put it down, with grid side up.
than I cut a piece of Reflectix and installed it between the mattress and air barrier. this cost me something like $20.00 because he cut me off what I needed, but I think you need to buy a pretty big roll to get it.
I experimented with placement of these 2 items. With grid side down it sort of mixed with carpet on floor. With grid side up it can't go against the mattress because that will seal up everything. I also found grid side both this and the Reflectix would seem to stick together and not slide.
last but not least was the mattress. It came from Amazon compressed in a box. Around 60 lbs but hard to carry.

followed directions (make sure zipper is down), unfold and get it pointed in the right direction, than cut into plastic bag and she inflates pretty quick.
Within a couple minutes it was already full size.
not sure about the smell, fantastic fan is working great :).
