No one (other than you) at your day job has perpetually black-rimmed fingernails.
You shake hands with someone and they ask you how come your hands are so calloused, even though you have a desk job.
You have various RV spare parts and extra materials squirreled away in the rafters of your garage, just in case they are needed.
There is almost nothing left on your RV that is unmodified stock equipment.
Your stick house is suffering from deferred maintenance, but your RV is not.

There is NO way that will ever happen,
I'll return it back to the basic (slightly used) condition,
the new solar install will remain with me.......... except for the solar panel feet, I have plenty of stock still left, to make better ones. :B

True story, by the way.
He eventually stopped asking questions. I don't know if he figured it all out or else just gave up.

And you're right, when we get it to where we want it...we'll go out and get another one to start all over.
There's a certain satisfaction when you post the mods on the forum or when you show what you did, to another RVer or even when camping you use the "mod", because you realize the convenience that you created for yourself...

"You might be a modder if"
The second you get home with your brand new $XX,XXX trailer you start planning out which mods to start with!!
I didn't have our OR home more than a week and had a plan for the things the factory "got wrong" HAHA Don't know if I will ever get it right

It's amazing how often I get a whiff of that stuff -- I can tell you that it does not smell very good.
One more: "You might be a modder if . . . . you can tell you've had a really good day of doing projects on your RV (crouching and bending and lifting), because you ended it with the maximum dosage of ibuprofen."

I imported solar panel mounts from China, a gas and shower point from the UK. Hacked a 5,000 BTU window shaker that feeds through hoses into the side of the tear. Adapted an automotive heater core computer case fan solar hot water pump to use water from our water heater to heat the tear when boondocking, and substituted two three speed computer case fans in place of a Fantastic Fan.
