My daughter was getting a little warm in her bunk during our last camping trip, so I decided to put her a fan in to keep the air flowing. I had been wanting to add a 12-volt fan to the main livin...

It took us a while to find a TT that met the requirements of myself and DH. My primary concern was storage. DH had certain roof and siding construction requirements. We did finally find something to please us both in the Keystone Bullet. That said, we have made several modifications and will be making many more.
The only vent fan in the trailer was in the bathroom, so we had two fantastic fans installed, one in the living area and one in the bedroom. While we were at it, we had a slide awning added.
We turned the bathroom door upside down so that it would open the other way. I'm not sure why they had it open out into the living area so that if the door is open, you get a nice view of the toilet, instead of opening towards the bedroom door.
Then there was the medicine cabinet. Yes, I'm short, but don't other short people buy TTs? I could see myself in the mirror from the nose up. Thankfully, DH is handy and was able to install a larger medicine cabinet.
We've discovered that the kitchen outlets are located too high for our appliance cords to reach, necessitating installation of some power strips.
DH had to reinforce the board on top of the "nightstand" beside the bed, as it's necessary for me to kneel on it to reach the overhead cabinets, but the original panel was extremely light weight. He then replaced the flimsy wood supporting the mattress.
I'm wondering what the manufacturers have against a few drawers. I suppose they would have to charge more. We have plans for DH to add 8-10 drawers in a 24 foot trailer.
The under-bed storage is nearly impossible for one person to utilize alone, and pretty difficult for two. It will get some modification over the winter.
We've installed some coat hooks, shelving in the cupboards, a wall clock, a key rack by the door, will need to figure out some shoe storage.
