I can understand ... the joy of doing things yourself ... but absent a total rebuild there was no way to do many of the things I had the factory do as they involved structural parts of the camper or complete dis-assembly to reach some areas.
As for working on it, while I didn't do the actual construction I did work on it in that I actually came up with most of the ideas I had incorporated and I definitely enjoyed doing the months of research and planning that went along with that.
Then after taking possession of the unit I still did a bunch of minor things myself, such as installing an LP tank change over alarm, sealed LED tail lights and fine tuning the workings of my no exterior-vent fridge enclosure to name a few. Items that the factory could have done but that it really wasn't cost effective to let them.
But the major stamp I put on the unit to make it mine was still the modifications I had the factory do. Some of which have now become standard factory options that others can select for their camper.

Besides, I can guarantee that there is NO manufacturer out there who would build a product EXACTLY how I want it, even if I did have the $ to pay for that.
Then there's the fact that I enjoy making improvements on my camper. It's my way of extending the pleasure of camping beyond the actual camping.
When I started this thread, I didn't stop to consider the fact that some do not enjoy working on their TC. But I can understand that. And some have responded with other ways they have made their camper their own.

Not everyone is retired or has a home where they can work on an RV. Some people cannot even keep their RV at home due to local restrictions...

I ordered my TC too, and ordered all the factory options. The problem is they didnt include the 67 other options that I had to add to make the thing mine.
