I've a long and growing list of planned upgrades. Several start in the workshop and will get started soon.

In no particular order:

• DONE: MaxxAir vent covers for the living room and bathroom vents.
• DONE: Costco 3" memory foam mattress toppers. Wonderful!
• Seal and insulate the dash, engine compartment, and doghouse!
• Add weights to the mudflaps to stop the right-side flap melting where it strikes the tailpipe.
• Sewer hose storage. I hate having the hoses in the basement, even though they are in a sealed Rubbermaid container.
• Battery watering system for house (2) and chassis batteries.
• Driver and passenger side sun visors.
• Built-in, whole-house water filter.
• Black and gray water tank flushers.
• Some kind of fixed reels for power cords and city-water hose. The after-market stuff is really expensive. I don't need motorized windup but would like some solution that minimizes the storage space needed and makes 'em easy to wind up.
• LED replacements for all basement and external marker lights.
• Replace the MaxxAir no-brand fan in the bedroom with a Fantastic Fan w/remote. I'll probably move the MaxxAir to the living room.
• Remove and replace the driver and passenger side-consoles. The cup-holders are too low and too far forward to reach while belted in. DW wants dual cup holders, one for the glass, the other for the diet-Pepsi bottle. I'll add a 12-volt USB charging station, iPhone space, and magazine rack on the passenger side. I'll probably upgrade the front speakers while I'm at it. I haven't decided whether the new units will be upholstered or cabinet-grade natural cherry.
• Solar. Not looking for long-term off the grid boondocking, but at least enough to keep the house batteries topped-up.
• Upgrade the converter to a Progressive Dynamics unit or perhaps an inverter.
• Add a 2-gallon accumulator to the freshwater system. Allows a couple of flushes without having to turn on the pump in the middle of the night.
• Would love to upgrade the captain's chairs. It's on the list, but will probably be a few years.
• Residential refrigerator. A maybe, and definitely long-term.
• Replace the sofa with a couple of recliners. DW's not there yet on this one!
• Replace the microwave with a convection/microwave combo.
