My RV Modifications to date

Took the advice and installed the Oxygenics Showerhead




Added a wireless router that will allow us to have our own network and connect to the campsite network. Also added a Roku that connects to the RV wireless router. We use the Roku to watch Netflix and other online content.




OBDLink MX to monitor the engine, gas millage etc. This is the Bluetooth version



Torque monitoring application on my HP Slate 7 tablet for the OBDLink MX



LED light bulb replacement for the shower - bought on Amazon



LED Lights throughout the coach


Foam Vent covers





Installed a 30amp RV plug in our garage. Even though we can't store the coach at home we can plug in and stay comfortable while loading it up for our trips.



Cup holder mount for my tablet/phone



MaxxAir and MaxxAir II vents






Hitch extension and bike rack - extension gets the bikes a little higher from the ground





30 amp surge/low voltage protector



Insulation between plastic skylight covers - helps reduce head gain/loss and light




Solar heated water bag - not really a mod but useful. Used it to wash off the sand from the kids legs and feet before they entered the coach. Helped keep down the sad infiltration and wife was happy not to have to sweep all the time. we where parked north/south so the bad had the sun all day long. by early afternoon the water was very warm


Digital Thermostat


110v plugs with USB ports




Additional 12v ports



12v USB charging station with volt meter

I did this as well. If you or a friend have the know-how, it's the best ~$50 you will ever spend.

I guess that depends on a fast CG wireless network - lots of bandwidth. The CGs that I have gone to so far had wireless that was basically useless - to slow for one device let alone several through a router. This means we have to revert to cellular and use our phones as hotspots.


The main reason for the router was to have my own network so I can stream movies from my HP slate to my Roku. And if the campsite has wireless I would only need to connect the router to the camp wifi instead of every device I have.

I found the digital thermostat on Amazon.com . Took a few e-mail exchanges with Dometic to verify that it would work my AC unit. The Kit came with a new control unit that replaced the existing control unit in the ceiling.

The on/off button came with the RV but I did see them at Camping world.

The "on-off switch" isn't part of the hose - it is a separate piece that comes with the Oxygenics shower head kit. Not sure if they sell it separately.


You've been busy! Nice mods.

BTW, Home Depot and Lowes sell several different shut off you can use with the Oxy shower head.
