I didn't see a thread by this name, so I thought I'd start one.

What did you do for your travel trailer recently? What new gadget, modification or kindness have you shown to your trailer lately?

I got a Camco Tri Leveler leveling block and I also bought a Camco RV Water Filter and a new front porch mat

We are in the midst of a big renovation project http://teacherontheroad.weebly.com/.

This weekend hubby installed a new outside plug after I shared BarneyS's idea for that. He was able to run it to two new inside outlets, one in the bedroom and one in the living room for our little electric heaters.

He also created a headboard from two of the old cabinet doors, since we moved our bed out of the slide in the bedroom. He has it almost finished, one more color to go on, then it will be done. He is going to paint the cupboards in the top of the slide to match the headboard. Hubby has planned out the drawer unit that will now go into the slide in the bedroom, where the head of the bed used to sit.

We have also ordered a new toilet and are in the process of finishing the reno on the shower, putting in a slim shower tray to replace the old tub/shower pan that was 16" off of the floor to step over. He is cutting down two of the walls to make the opening wider and allow more light into the shower.

We also ordered and received the new Allure flooring that will go in the LR/kitchen area as well as the bathroom.

SO glad to see some warm weather and sunshine the past couple of days here in the "sunny" South! Tired of the cold, ice and rain.:W

I bought three new 225/75 15 wheels and tires. (Original 175/80 13)
Although I'm obviously not gonna be "wheeling" with it, I do want to get up and out from your average rv park. So I lifted it and got the larger wheels/tires.

I also have a portable Zamp Solar kit on the way.

We have a 2012 fks322 Jayco TT. It came with the advertised "deluxe pillow top mattress. I Should also say we had a 2008 of this trailer without a pillowtop deluxe mattress.
Whew! Today we spent about 900 bucks for a King Daydream II firm mattress.

We spent out first week of really really good sleep.
We live in our trailer about 4 1/2 months a year.
Lesson learned, once your reach your 60+ years do the right thing and get something t sleep on. We love Jayco and their trailers BUT (as thee salesguy said} you buy a great trailer and they give you a bag of straw to sleep on.
If you are like us..... spend the money and have your custom mattress replaced with a real custom mattress!!!!!!
