We bought our 21' Rockwood used. After the floor threatened to collapse after 3 months due to extensive water damage, unknown at time of purchase, we had to take most of the interior out and remove the flooring down to the studs. We then dried everything, replaced the insulation and put in laminate flooring throughout. Once that had been done, we thought, well....so:
1: Custom made a medicine cabinet by cutting into the bathroom closet, affixed a balsa wood box with shelves and covered with a cabinet door that matched.
2. Installed a custom shower rod that makes it much more roomy when using the shower. Changed the faucets from plastic to more attractive chromed look plastic. changed to oxygenics shower head.
3. Removed one dinette seat and replaced the table with a moveable table with two chairs. Now we can take the table and chairs outside. Recovered the remaining bench seat.
4. Removed all of the window valences and blinds. Replaced with cafe curtains so they can be laundered easily. A necessity in the desert.
5. Installed lcd tv/dvd player combo. DH moved the speakers from the sound system that with the TT over our heads into the cabinet above the beds. Now we can listen without having to turn it up too loudly.
6: Removed the queen bed and replaced with twin bunks with large storage containers underneath. We now have room for a nice looking plastic 3 drawer storage unit that holds LOTS of things and provides a resting place for drinks. glasses etc. Also made a straight path to the bathroom, so night trips are much easier.
7: Added plexi glass removable panels to the door so that we don't lose the view when using the a/c or the heat.
The main theme is beach. We have restrained ourselves slightly, but the grass skirts around the beds give it away!
We are always thinking about what is next. We have as much storage as much larger units, and it is fully customized for us.
