What do you consider the most valuable upgrade in your TC?

Many improvements to pick from in this used Lance 500
inverter -tranfer switch
flat screen tv
auto sat dish - dish reciver
wireless jack controler
dual battery W/slide out
solar
intell power converter W/ charge wizard
Honda 2000 rack
reconfigured dinette table so I can lay down
rear view camera , wired to truck cab and TC tv to see who`s knockin
AC that will run on honda
rear awning

But the one I would`nt own the camper without is the skylight I put in the bathrm so I can stand up all the way and shower and the ventline vanair to replace the 14x14 vent
When Ive bought new campers in the past that was a major buying point for me

Hmm thats kinda of a hard one-as a progression of upgrades, seemed each was the cats meow at the time.
Only way I can narrow it down is in the way we use our camper, If we bought a new one what would be the 1st thing Id add that I had done to current camper.
Hands down would be solar (assuming it had 2 batteries and a generator), then the Wave, then LEDS, then Torklift basement step.

I think Margaret might have different prospective, pretty sure it would be the Wave, then LEDS (cause I wouldn't let her run heater or lights as much as she wanted) then solar. I believe her 1st response though would definatley be wire rack pantry replacement, & extra drawer when furnace removed, she appreciates the solar but think it would be the allowance for hardwired inverter.

All the other simple mods weve done over the years would fall under convienance, ease of use--but day to day adding the 2nd WP switch in bathroom then the electronic igniton for oven.

But solar everytime we go out just amazes me-

1. Solar (140watts) - best mod by far.
2. LED lights on high usage fixtures
3. memory foam mattress topper
4. inverter in batt compartment for outside usage

I haven't done many, but here are my mods so far: (Pick one, I like them all)

1. Shower curtain rod extender
2. Oxygenics Shower Head (Wow, I love taking a shower with this option)
3. Torklift Glow Steps
4. Torklift Glow Guide
5. Converted hanging closet to wire shelves
6. Moved the hidden 12 volt disconnect switch so it is accessible
7. Rear Awning
8. Added 2nd step to single step for getting into cab-over area
9. Removed flimsy TV swing arm and replaced with a stronger swing arm
10. Added custom Stainless Steel wind deflector
11. Modified latch on pass-thru window for easier opening and closing while in motion
12. Built and added drawer underneath dinette seat that was just an open storage space
13. Added screen door push bar for easier closing
14. Moved TP holder to a more convenient location
15. Modified floor cover underneath bathroom sink to create additional storage
16. Changed bathroom sink counter-top to Corian
17. Replaced bathroom sink two knob fixture with single handle fixture

Modification in progress:

18. Convert dinette to sofa bed

my best mod was buying a gravity chair...

1. Solar, 240w
2. LEDs
3. Oxygenics Shower Head
4. Memory Foam Mattress (8" thick)
5. AGMs

tossed the oem mattress and put in a sealy posturepedic with a synthetic down topper

4 in 1 "U" shaped dinette/couch mod

1. Solar, 200 watts
2. Wave 3
3. AGM battery
4. LED lighting

In that order...

Depends on the time of the year I am using the TC.

In the winter it is the Wave3. In the summer, if it is real hot, probably the A/C. I guess overall, the solar would win out as the most valuable. Summer or winter, about the only time I run my Honda 2000 is for the microwave or A/C. The solar would not be as valuable without the LEDs and Wave3.

Hi! Mooney

I think Wayne nailed it. with my PlatCat instead of the Wave.

And, the knowlege that our built in generator is essential.

On edit: And as Jim says below... the AGM batteries... they are so trouble and maintaince free that I forgot about them.
