The previous 2 TT where used so this is our 1st brand spanking new one. If you had to change something e.g. tires, stabilizers, battery, mattress (queen comes with an 8" thick coil mattress but bunks are foam), seat cushions, faucets, locks... what would you do or have the dealer change.

Personally, I like doing my own work because in my experience dealers do the bare minimum with cheap labor.

This sounds very much like some motorcycle forums. People often ask the same sort of questions. Should I buy risers, should I change the seat, should I buy this or that?

My answer to your question is the same as that I offer to a new motorcyclist.

Spend some time in the camper in the first season and then decide what changes YOU want to make based on your needs. You may find that that mattress that came with the camper is fine for you and you don't need that 4-6" mattress topper. Or you may decide that whatever chrome go faster is not for you. Basically customize it to your way of camping. For some that means tricking it out to the max. For others it means a few creature comfort changes. But don't jump in with a bunch of changes that you read here simply because others have used them. Make sure that they will work for you and how you use your trailer.

We've just spent our first year in our trailer and have found a few things we would do. One which was done the first week was the mattress topper. Other things we'd like to do include removing the jackknife sofa and replace it with two recliners. I'm researching that now but in the meantime we have found some folding foot stools that work.
