What kind of mods on your trailer?
Seems to me that most of the moderately price trailers are set up for week end stints and not month long excursions. What kind of mods do you folks do to your trailer?
Since I had my trailer Ive done:
1. Built and added a storage cabinet in the bathroom. There was almost zero storage in the bathroom.
2. Built and add drawers in the pantry cabinet to aid our food storage.
3. Removed the micro-wave since we never use it. That became the coffee storage cabinet for our french press and ROK Espresso Maker & Grinders
4. Built a stow-a-way mount for the gas grill.
5. Took some 5/8"-ish glue lam type wood from Home Depot and "encased" the water tank under the tip up queen bed. I put a border all the way around it and it made a tray of sorts for the fishing poles, squeegee etc.
6. I encased the wheel well in the cabinet under the sink so I can put stuff there.
7. Made a real nice little silver wear organizer for the drawer. That Rubbermaid thing.................ahhggggg!
8 New heavy duty struts to lift the new mattress. Did a little reinforcing so the bed frame doesn't explode when the struts are compressed!
9. Added two cool little "compass lights", on each side of the bed for reading ourselves to sleep. The light the factory installed is blinding and because of the design you couldn't choose which side was on. You either got both lights or the right side.
10. Built a set of shelves and installed to the left of the frige to put our plastic wear caddy, boxed plastic wear, dog dishes and fresh fruit bowl. No stuff hanging around the dinete cushions anymore!
11. One of the last things to do is add backup lights. My wife and I have not mastered the "we stop driving at 5:00PM". Pretty tough backing into a site in the dark with no back up lights.
12. I have all the stuff to make an a couple under trailer storage tubes with aluminum caps/door-cap. One for the chairs and one for astro-turf. Just not sure I want to compromise the ground clearance.
