Default Fun TM projects...Where does it end?

This could be a fun thread. Feel free to add more or suggest methods/concepts.

Completed:

o Replaced plastic wire nuts with weatherproof ones:
Break away switch junction
Both wheel brakes (2 each)
o Caulked everywhere I could reach a seam
o Added AM/FM/CD/MP3 radio
o Had 3 wheels balanced
o Made a Battery Minder adapter that provides a secure and safe charge connection via the TM tow vehicle power cable
o Added vinyl propane tank cover (no room for a hard plastic one)
o Added 2nd 12-volt battery. Would need to lower battery rails to get 6-volt batteries to fit without interfering with front roof closure. Possible future project.
o Added Link 10 battery monitor in a 2” round opening to the left of the radio. Awaiting cable.
o Upgraded LP tanks to ones with a visual gauge
o Added mud dobber screen kit to cover both outside heater openings
o Added Max-Air kits to 3 roof vents
o Upgraded converter to very well filtered 7300 series
o Installed EQ hitch. Modified one bracket so that door side WD bar doesn’t interfere with bottom of swing-away hitch pin
o Built Hal’s “Hands Free Shower”
o Removed “.com” portion of graphic from rear stone guard
o Reinforced underside of large cabinet (across from bathroom door) to hold the weight of a microwave more securely
o Glued plastic knife safe inside wardrobe door (too tall for other locations)
o Glued small, lightweight, framed mirror to outside door of wardrobe cabinet. This is what happens when you have a wife and 2 girls.
o Trimmed shower curtain length and made cutout for Hal’s hands free shower. Hemmed bottom and weighted with “pennies”. No more stepping or sitting on the curtain.
o Mounted small CO detector a few feet from the smoke alarm.
o Replaced door side porch light bulb with an amber one.
o Glued small triangular bubble level to tongue (right in front of jack mount)
o Added PUR water filter to kitchen faucet
o Bought a hand dolly, which makes moving the TM around the driveway much easier.
o Cleaned up wiring here and there using black “UV proof” zip fasteners for a neater appearance

Future:

o Add wiring mod to provide AC power while closed
o Add fresh water "fill" mod to drain opening
o Add new “modern graphic” wallpaper border over the factory strips. Sorry, but I just don’t like that factory paper.
o Scotch Guard couch and 2 chairs
o Upgrade speakers to 2-way design
o Add AC/DC heater to holding tank
o Add heatproof brace to center of stove grate so it doesn’t sag with a heavy pot
o Upgrade air conditioner filter to electrostatic
o Add available air conditioner shroud brace
o Build Hal’s screen door project
o Build lightweight partitions to close off gap between top of bathroom walls and ceiling
o Mount a paper towel holder somewhere
o Vent front bathroom wall for better air circulation while still maintaining privacy
o Mount hi-tech atomic clock over front bed on center cabinet door (need to cut away some trim on the door panel)
o Install interior “rub strips” where the ceiling halves touch
o Replace all ceiling light bulbs with lower wattage ones to extend battery life
o More caulking underneath where frame meets floor
o Install deadbolt on upper door section
o Might replace water pump with a super quiet model
o Trim bathroom cabinet doors so they open fully
o Might add a bike rack to the rear bumper
o I’ll think of something to go here!
