Default Anyone have any Modifications and Customization Suggestions???

As I just posted...I am new to the wide world of Trail Manor and I just bought a used 3124KB (I am actually sitting in it at a rest stop in New Mexico on the way home from picking it up).

I am a perpetual modifier and customizer and naturally I have my new project.

Sooo...I was wondering if folks could show off their customization ideas???

#1.....The first think I noticed about the fold down trailmanor is that it is completely goofy to have to pop up BOTH ends just to fill up the water tank. It was like a show at the truck stop with me trying to figure out how this thing lifts up just to connect the hose to fill the water tank.

My first modification was to install a water fill hose and overflow vent under the rig next to the winter drain lines so now I can pull up to the water hose bib and connect up the hose without having to lift up the tops.

Now...where to put the hose?

The rear bumper storage locker is kinda cute and it at first looks to be a good place to store the sewer drain hose however I have to lift the back top (also means lifting the front top) to get the width necessary to fit the cone shaped plastic drain attachment fitting out.

2...Next step is to install a really BIG tonge locker. Any suggestions???


3...The shower is way too small and the bathroom sink is useless (and cracked). I am considering removing the sink and counter and repositioning the toilet forward and then installing a larger square shower pan in place of the goofy bathtub. Under the bath tub inboard is the electrical box so I will need to reposition that somewhere (am considering moving it to the "closet" under the 'passenger" side of the trailer. (I'll keep you posted on IF and or HOW I do).


4...Master power switch. The OEM installed a switch under the bathroom aft wall so that the power to the rear top is shut off until the bathroom wall is lifted up into position. Has anyone from Trail Manor ever actually camped in one of their trailers??? Since the lights on the rear top are easier to get to than the lights on the front it would be great IF you can turn them on without having to open up the bathroom walls to get light.


5...The plastic "hinge slides" (for the bathroom walls and wardrobe) are really flimsy and fragile. Any suggestions on how to upgrade/fix these.

Anyhoo...I am not pinging on their product (well kinda) however these are my first impressions.
