Long and growing list!
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.
Regards,
Randy
