Starting to mod the new TT! *Now with added pics!**

I think I mixed up my acronyms, this is probably TPO roofing, which is similar to EPDM, but us a thinner material.

Sounds like you have some great mods to your TT.

When you say drawer pulls are you talking about the slides?

 

[SargeW]

No, the knobs used to open the drawers and cabinets.

We've had our current Montana Fifth Wheel for about 5 years now and over that time, I've made so many changes and fixes I've lost count. It's a never ending project.

Some things we wanted done took time to figure out how to do. The last change I made was to replace the carpet in the main slide out with "anything" other than carpet. It took 4 years to figure it out!

Many changes were done for convenience, some because the manufacturer should have done something, and last out of necessity because it broke and I found a way to make it better.

My fiend, you list of accomplishments on your first post is commendable! Good job! But you do know.....that list is JUST the beginning!

Boy, you don't know how right you are!

We almost did the tankless WH thing. Went with a new shower head. Worked well.

DW?

I was trying to figure out why changing to stainless steel would make a difference with arthritis but it must be the size and style of the knobs making it easier to grip.

Oh yeah, the cabinet pulls that came with it were really poorly designed. They fit over the edge of the cabinet door and there was about a 1/4" lip you had to try to hook your fingers on to pull the door open. Along with strong magnetic cabinet latches, it was a bear to pull them open.

We replaced them with stainless "mushroom" shaped knobs that your could easily get you fingers around for a good grip.

Yes, TPO is one color all the way thru, while EDPM is black with a white or other color coating on the outside.

Well, the mods have begun on our new 2023 Passport 2400RBWE. This is our 8th new RV in 25 years, and have modded them all. Sometimes out of necessity, other times it's just fun. So far this is what has been done.

First the drawer and cabinet pulls were terrible. The DW has some arthritis in her hands, and getting them open was near impossible. So heavy brushed stainless pulls were installed.

Then several hooks, towel bars, and various necessary "holders" were added.

An Andersen No Sway Load Distributing Hitch was put on.

A back up cam was put on the back of the TT to assist with getting into camp spots.

A electronic Bluetooth leveling device was installed to simplify the leveling and set up process as much as possible.

Also a remote display for the Xantrex Inverter was installed in the bedroom area.

The Lippert Tire Sense TPMS was installed. The mounting dock was pre-installed by Keystone.

I added water connections in the water bay to ease the city water hook up and a splitter to the black tank flush is a one hose option. A "plunger" was added to the water bay opening to seal it up against critters that may want to check into a nice warm storage area.

Also ran a Starlink cable through the water bay to the bedroom area for the Starlink router. It has a sealed entry point as well.

I bought and installed 1/2" rubber foam flooring in the storage bay to keep stuff from flying around as much going down the road.

A Girard tankless water heater is on the bench prepping to install in place of the Suburban 6 gallon tank WH that came with the unit.

After that I will be starting to shop for a Combo washer/Dryer for the rig. That was one of the DW's big necessities.

And after that, a new remote control Fantastic Fan for the bathroom.

So there has been no time to get bored. And that's just the stuff I have though of so far:lol:

Wow...you aren't messing around!
