2020 Precept Prestige Upgrades

It will get noisier when you start climbing mountains and the RPMs go up :-(

We have a 2018.5 31 UL. No driving mods needed. Seems to handle pretty good.
Added max vent covers, and built some shelving in the bays to make them more efficient.

Other than that, and some decorating, she is pretty stock.

A few days ago I posted about weight balance and proper tire pressure, then I realized that I didn't answer the full original question of 'what mods did we add' to our new motorhome. So here goes....

In November 2018, we purchased a new Alante 31R. This is a 35' bunkhouse model with the (larger) 12 c.f. fridge and the front (750lb capacity) extra bunk. The Alante comes rather complete, but there were a few items we added. Starting with the new MH, we added:

• battery upgrade - replaced the single group 27 12V with a pair of Golf Cart batteries, more than doubling the capacity
• SureCall Fusion2Go 3.0 RV Cell Phone Signal Booster
• 190W Go Power! solar kit
• Lift kit for bedroom bed
• TST 507 Series 6 Sensor TPMS System

Additionally, we acquired these items as things we always would travel with:

• Coleman Roadtrip gas grill
• two drinking water supply hoses
• two sewer hoses
• several large utility bins with lids for storage and easy transport of items
• portable fire pit
• 2 Dahon folding bikes, and an air pump
• 4 folding camp chairs
• 2 small folding tables
• camp/RV patio mat
• door mat
• dinner serving set for four, utensils, 3 pans, etc.
• 2 cell phone holders for the dash
• set linens, slippers, flashlights, cleaning suppliers, etc.

As this was our first RV, we had a lot of basic accessories to obtain, but at this stage, we are ready to roll anytime.

A couple other thoughts came to mind. An extra 25' power cord, for the instance you're 6' short of a power pedestal you share with the site next to you. (Ask my BIL why he needed to borrow mine!), and an EMS, like a Progressive Dynamics or from Hughes.

[SamJ]

Ah, forgot that on my list. Add power cord (mine is 75' 15 amp, for house use, battery charge, etc.), a basic toolset, road flares (LED or conventional), pressure regulator, surge suppressor.

Thanks. Great Advice

Lots of good advice in this thread. I have a 2019 34G and we have driven it for about 15,000 miles now. Sometimes I tow a 20 foot boat. Can’t even tell that it’s back there. I don’t intend to do any suspension modifications as I think it drives just fine. I keep my tires at 90 psi.

Has anyone had the Sumo shocks installed and was the result noticeable.

I've installed sumo springs, koni shocks, steering stabilizer and 2nd rear sway bar. World of difference in driving but now looking to get a better ride. Any suggestions?
