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.
Cheers, john

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 -

My Best Mod
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)
