Best Modification You've Made?

[frank_a]

Power tongue jack, among many other improvements, is the one I appreciate the most!

Most practical: BAL stabilizers, 4 all around

Most cosmetically pleasing - exterior: the body work I did shaving down the flange between the two clamshells and being able to ditch the trim-lok look

Most cosmetically pleasing - interior: swapped out original massively dense fiberboard cubby doors with wood-trimmed plastic (a weight bonus too)

Best quality of life improving mod: brand new windows

Best mod for expanding camping possibilities: 100 watt solar panel

Did a lot of work on my trailer, but mainly:
-30A AC upgrade, new PD converter, detachable power cord, AC & DC voltmeter/ampmeters, GFI outlets, LED lights all around.
-New LP/CO detector.
-spare tire moved from back bumper to under rear floor. Allowed install of rear access door that gives access to previously unused storage space under rear bed.
-BAL crank-down stabilizers at each corner

Gotta agree Jen. I did the same, though it kinda made my detachable shore power mod useless. Oh well.

Amen to that Frank...I also added a 7-pin female electrical connector to the trailer tongue and wired it to the on-board battery so I could make adjustments without needing to connect to a tow vehicle.

Bob, if I remember right they were standard 40mm ball bearing computer fans. I actually picked them up for .25 each at the 2nd hand store and hooked them up to a toggle switch. I got the idea from this gentleman's video -

By far, my best mod on my 2011 Casita was to change the ward robe style storage to shelves. Much more usable.

2015 Casita 17sd, most useful mods so far:
- Rear receiver hitch allowing us to easily carry bikes (by OMW)
- Side bed extension mod, gives us a comfy twin bed
- Added set of wire storage drawers to closet
- 20A Solar controller and monitor
- screen door handle

Also, modified the Mach 8 air conditioner with the OMW hush kit and EasyStart kit. Really made the air conditioner more civilized.

I can't pick a single one thing that I did.
But my favorites have included
I modded the Atwood water heater switch to include a led light to show that it's on.
I added little clear domes to the fridge lights so I could see from the side if the warning light was on.
I switched all the bulbs inside to LED including a couple of very warm yellow colored lights.
6v DC golf cart batteries.

My favorite was building a front dinette into a 13 ft perris pacer
Since we always left the table/bed in back in down position
Unfortunately I've sold the trailer ( what was I thinking)
