5th Wheel mods (So Far)

[drdave]

So far we are liking the 5th wheel, but I don't find it nearly as easy to back as my 16DB!           I haven't discovered any major problems.   I've got a couple interior trim pieces that need some glue, but all minor and not a significant sign of poor construction IMO.    

 I completed the following upgrades:

Interior:

TP Holder in "Throne Room".    The Toilet has it's own room.   I still don't comprehend why LL doesn't put in a TP holder in all models.  Even the crappiest Forest River product has a TP holder.... just saying LL!    I put in a single point mount version and was lucky to find a stud to srew into in a good location.

Of course the given: Many command strip products.

Mounted a  28" LCD in the bedroom that I took out of the 16DB.   Cable and power and mounting stud are there, but a mount or TV was not included.  28" is definitely the biggest that can go in that spot.

Attached eyebolts in the dinette and used some bungie cords to the dinette table Now it can stay upright while traveling.

Couch cusions overhang the couch by a couple inches.  Added an extra couple inches via a plywood insert (hard to explain w/o pictures) to support the cusions further.   Actually is slightly more comfortable now.     Also ordered a cheap beanbag ottoman thing.   can now lounge in style.

Exterior:

Large 2 sewer hose holder under rear bumper.   The rear bumper could be used for hose storage, but I didn't want to go that route.    

Winterizing kit w. access hatch to area where the water pump is hidden.  (was pain.   Had to cut azdel and install hatch.. should have come with hatch)

Main battery disconnect switch.   Wasn't hard, but took some time to re-arrange the battery compartment a bit.   I now have room for a second battery if I decide to add one.

Beer bottle opener on bumper.

Also added:  Sleep number mattress, 36 inch LCD TV, and LED flood lights on the 4 corners for backing in to sites at night.
