That's a great size unit and that back door will come in handy every time you take it out. After you live in it for a while I have a mod you might like. In the kitchen you have a stack of 3 drawers and an electrical outlet just above them, well there's nothing behind that outlet but dead space. You can knock out that panel and move that outlet to the right in the next cabinet and put a silverware drawer in that void. I did that and like the extra drawer. I actually made all the drawers larger, I removed the bottom panel and cut it down. I unscrewed the drawer dividers from the rear and moved them down to 3 = larger spaces and made new deeper and longer drawers.

You just Waite, these fourm members have done fantastic mods and I would say they can solve any problem that you or we might have. Another easy one is the double towel bar in the bathroom. Found it at the ReStore for $8.00.

Two more you might like are the screen door handle from Camping world or maybe on eBay. The other one is the paper towel holder, it's has a cog in the holder so the towel doesn't un roll as your driving down the road, the sheets are easy to tare off one at a time with just one hand, think it came from Bed Bath & Beyond.

Welcome to JOF. Enjoy the new rig. We have a thread here asking for how you came upon your forum name. Eatersmom may be self explanatory but it sure makes one curious?

Great ideas! I've been thinking about a paper towel holder asap!
