Not quite as romantic as a regular queen, but I'm 6'1" and my wife is 5'10" so anything less than a full-length mattress gets old fast. We had custom mattresses made with firm support and pillow tops - worth every penny based on our trips so far this year.
Ok.....I just talked to a rep from Forest river and yes.....all the cabinets that I want to remove are just screwed in place and are not structural! And.....as long as I don't tear things up, I will not void my warranty! Once I get going on this....I will post photos!

Well, we picked up our new 20BH not too long ago and I was itching to do some mods so without further delay....
Here's just a general pic of the outside
And another from the other side
Hot water heater screen cover
Furnace screen cover
Fridge vent covers
Sewer hose storage all closed up
Opened up
The TT had the small switches for the lighting and I really like the bigger ones so just inside the front door and the bath got these treatments.
I'm not a huge fan of the plastic camper lights on the ceiling so those got replaced and so did the ugly decorative fixture over the dinette. I used regular 110 volt house fixtures with 12 volt A15 bulbs.
The two round lights are switched by the door but i had to reuse the 12v switch from teh ugly fixture for the spot lights.
We have a dog so a bag holder near the door is a must
Every camper needs a soap dispenser and a paper towel holder. I also reused one of the double plastic ceiling lights over the sink rather than the small single one that was there.
The bed area didn't have any shelving that was open to put a clock on so..
The original theater system (seen on bottom shelf) with DVD player built in just wasn't cutting it quality wise so I added a Sony home theater receiver and kept the original one for the DVD player alone.
The 20" TV that came with the camper was nice but it wasn't HD so we replaced it with a 26" HDTV and a swivel arm mount.
Can't live without the Oxygenics shower head
Added a positive flow shut off to it
And of course, no one likes a clingy shower curtain or water getting everywhere so we added clip holders and corner water stops.
There's a few more things (digital thermostat replacement, counter top extension) I want to do before our maiden voyage in it but these are a good start. If anyone has any questions on what I posted feel free to ask away!

New to this RV thing but oldtimer in security. What items typically get legs and walk off or disappear. In the RV park? On the road? Not woried about RV in storage as that is more a function of the storage location? Don't want to waste to much time trying to secure or alarm something that rarely is stolen or not know about something and loose it.

I have a question to see if anybody has done a mod that I am thinking of doing. We have a Rockwood 8314ss 33' TT. The front bedroom has the (RV size) queen island bed. I am thinking of removing the drawers and overhead on one side, modify the platform and put a residential size queen bed in cross ways. So instead of the head of the bed being at the front of the trailer, it would be turned so that the head is on one side.
It appears that the cabinetry was put in after the base floor, walls and ceiling was put in and so I believe I should be able to (cleanly) remove the cabinetry I need to remove and modify the existing pedestal.
Any insight from those of you in the industry and/or those that have done this would be greatly appreciated! I am also going to contact Forest River to see if they will be willing to shine some light on the build process so I can reverse engineer some of what they have done.
Here's the layout of our trailer and a couple photos. The head would be opposite the entry door and the mattress side would be up against the front. I would leave the overhead and drawers near the door.
Thanks and Happy Camping!

I am thinking about doing the same thing. Our TT is permanently parked so if there is any question about redistribution of weight it probably wouldn't affect us.
