Sorry for taking so long to reply with updates...
After having the minor needed repairs completed, we added 6 new Cooper tires. Immediately after buying them, we bought the must have tire covers. We found them online at several places and decided to go with a set from Walmart because of all the great reviews on the product. The price was nice too!
We updated the original toilet to a taller one, that is more like home. For some reason, using the standard RV toilets is like using a potty chair to me. ??? Why do they make them so short? - space saving issues, I guess. Hands down, this is the best upgrade so far IMHO. Our knees are even more thankful!
Anyway, my DH also removed all the carpet and padding (except the carpet that was under the cabinets. It is a cream color and looks new under there, so why bother with changing it. So we left it alone.). He installed spill-proof carpet padding and new carpet in the living room area, and cherry Allure flooring from Home Depot everywhere else. We were skeptical about the Allure flooring with the drastic temp changes in the Kansas City area, but have checked on it every week this winter and it is doing fine. It does shrink, but if installed correctly it will float and it does just that! He made sure to leave a big enough gap around the edges for expansion in the summer heat and installed quarter-rounds at the edges to cover the flooring gap. Looks great! We have had temps of 104 and so far have seen temps of -4 this winter and we are pleased with the outcome! *Also, no smell from the flooring as a few others have complained of in other reviews.
With the drawer and door pulls changed to bronze from the polished brass, it really looks good!
