Westend, is that a photo of the bridle suite? ๐Ÿ˜‰

And my key mod has been the axle flip -- for those rocky forest roads. If anyone wants to waste a few minutes looking at more of my mods, check out the link to our trailer blog, in my signature.

Most of my rig is comprised of "mods" so it's hard to say if it was the increased insulation, the non-electric heater, solar, or any of the others. One that I have the most pride in is my TP holder made from a horse bit:

I agree with solar. Hands down, bar none the best addition.

I moved my breaker panel from the living room to the basement so I could add in a sofa bed and not block the panel.

For us it was getting the TV remounted. A project where I came up with the idea, but a friend who is a cabinet maker made it happen. Before I when someone was sitting on the sofa (in the slide) part of the screen would be blocked. I looked at several mounts, to pull it forward, but they all seemed a bit flimsy. My cabinet maker used a TV mount he then fixed to a pullout shelf so when traveling its locked and flush with the opening, then when set up it pulls out and can swivel depending on where we are sitting.

Next up....probably a fireplace..

Using plexiglass panels to make a storm door. Having the door open during cold days allows lots of light in. Same on hot days. We can have the air conditioner going and have all the light coming through our screen door without losing our cool.


x2. But also adding a light switch in the bedroom so I don't have to climb on the bed to turn the light on and off.

X3 I have yet to pull a new trailer off the dealers lot with the mattress still in it. When I bought my last new trailer I took the pwr tongue jack off the old trailer and put it on the new trailer in the dealers lot.

Outdoor kitchen sink in a rubbermaid tub. We do our dishes outside(water gets dumped down sewer pipe), kids can wash up before dinner, food prep, canโ€˜t beat having hot and cold running water handy. Got the idea from this forum along with others, thanks.
