Title: Custom Options and Mods for 21RBS
Post by: charliem on May 03, 2015, 10:20:41 AM
[font size="3"]Having just upgraded my kitchen sink I think I'm done with all major and most minor mods, but never say never. I offer this list of ideas and inspiration for others. I have documented all these mods elsewhere on this forum. Other members have done similar mods with slight variations.


The first list is options to be considered when ordering from the factory. If you're serious about getting a camper fit to your needs I recommend ordering from the factory vs buying off a lot. Livinlite is extremely receptive to custom requests and the wait is well worth it.

1. Choice of external and internal colors and exterior blackout package
2.   Dinette vs sofa option
3.   Microwave and A/C
4.   Gas/electric water heater
5.   Dual propane tanks and dual battery holder
6.   Black tank flusher
7.   Enhanced rear bumper
8.   Skylight in shower
9.   Twelve volt outlet in bathroom
10.   Off road axles and tires
11.   Spray on chassis insulation (not recommended)


The second list is mods to be considered after delivery and after you've camped a few times. Some are easy and some are more difficult. If you're interested, but don't feel comfortable doing them yourself, a competent RV shop can help.
