THOR #1855
mods to 2012 chateau citation sprinter chassis

We have had several RV's class A class B and class C and truck campers. Now we have a 2012 chateau citation 24sa sprinter chassis. based on our experience, I have made modifications to the Thor.

1. We do a lot of boon docking so battery power is most important. Installed a 100 watt solar panel on the roof and a 1,000 watt inverter so we could make coffee and watch TV during quiet time.. The red box is the inverter and the black box is the solar panel controller. Both are mounted in the cabinet under the sink. The panel is mounted near the refrigerator vent so the panel wiring could be routed down thru the vent to the controller and the batteries... the solar panel keeps the batteries topped off very well.... :thinking:



2. We wanted more convenient storage so I modified the dinette front side seat end. I removed it and 2 braces so that we could easily slide a large plastic storage container in and out of the space under the seat.. I used large magnetic catches to hold the seat end in place... I did screw one of the braces to the inside of the end to provide some of the support that I needed to remove... :clapping:



3. Another storage issue.. the cabinet above the sink had a door that opens about half of the cabinet space. The rest of the opening had a permanently installed curved door. I removed that curved unhinged door, installed hinges and a catch so now it is very easy to access the entire cabinet space.... :bounce:




4. Our Thor has a diesel generator that stinks like the devil when running. So I bought and use a "genturi" that redirects the exhaust to come out above the RV... What a difference! Easy to setup and remove when needed...



:thumbdown: The only thing that bugs me is the lack of a gravity feed for the fresh water tank. I might try to do something about that..... :thumbup:
