Removed rusty old safety chains, replaced with cables(much cleaner looking). Changed taillights to LED(6" oval fit in standard housing with slight modification). Tossed out cheap looking plastic faucets, installed chrome fixture and added sprayer. (My Fav) I added 12volt, flush-mount white lights at each stabilizer jack and over sewer connection, no more juggling a flash light while setting up after dark(later I will upgrade to LED's).Theses are also sold as marker lights(with red/amber lenses)I mounted them in the rocker panel facing down for a "flood light" effect. This is our first TT, came up from a pop up, so I hate cranking! TT came with electric tounge jack, so it was only right to get a 3/8" socket/drill adapter and a 3/4" socket for the jacks. now I just hit the jacks with the drill, 3 seconds each... and you can't Over tourque the jacks! I installed a pair of 55wt driving lights up by the rear marker lights and wired into the chasis harness for back-up lights... I have a small jumper wire with inline fuse holder that I can plug into + and back up terms on my plug, incase I need more light aft. one day, I will put a switch in. here are some pics! First is 6 inch oval LEDs in factory tail lights. ground lights at each jack... and over sewer conn... switches for the jack lights and a peek at my laminate floor that I put in last year. switches are easy to use standing outside or you can kick them on or off from inside! stainless steal handles replace plastic(got them at ace, bath grab bars) not mine, but same year/model... just to show original sink... and here is mine, up graded to chrome fixture and added sprayer.. more later!
