2nd improve-Access to the Gray/Black drain valve is a really dumb design. Water doesn't flow uphill. The drain valve, altho stiff to move, will rotate to point up, down or any point in between. I've improved the situation by cutting a large hole in the bottom of the storage area under this valve. Connect the drain hose, stuff it up into the storage/Drain valve area & leave it there. When needed its much easier to pull the already connected hose down thru the new hole.
3rd-Extra length of Drain hose is always a good thing to have. To store it get a 4x4 inch x approx. 5ft. piece of round or square plastic PVC tubing. Paint to match RV and install it atop rear bumper.
4th-Remove that ugly plastic thing that covers the transmission area & insulate the inside of it to help reduce engine noise. Also carpet the outside of it & install a nice homemade storage shelf atop it for maps etc.
5th- The front of the Vegas is very low & the hood openings are large enough to allow rocks thrown up by truck to enter & possibly damage the lower part of the radiator. Install a thin wire mesh protector in front of radiator, behind the hood. I used a piece of old fireplace spark screen I had around. Easy to bend & strap in place with plastic tie wraps. Better material can be had at any home improvement store.

Oops, one more thing 4 the under couch storage...U'll want to add 1x1inch supports to provide support 4 the front of couch that was done by the front decorative wood which is now a storage door. One on each side and 1 in the center.
