Platform bed lift
We also built an extension for our regular queen sized mattress in our 5er. Just framed it out and plywood for the top. I use the open spaces for storage. We're full-time, so storage and comfort are...

Propane Generator
We bought a Champion dual fuel last fall. We only have 1 AC, and we're stationary, as we're full timers with full time jobs. The Champion 4500 is big enough to keep our 40 ft fiver going with AC on...
