When you open up the panel there is very easy access to 12V power source. I think I tapped into the 12V lighter outlet right below the radio.

There is plenty of openings for cooling :-) no issues at all. Here is the link to the LED lightbar.

What was your mounting setup? And how did you configure the switch inside the cab?

I've purchased the wiring harness kit and ran it inside the cab. It wasn't easy but I think there is many other ways to do it.

To make the light in the center of the opening I've purchased some nylon spacers from Home Depot, paint them black and installed with original hardware.

2018 Greyhawk 29MV purchased new almost exactly 36 months ago. Currently approximately 27k miles, from Ohio to Texas to Key West to Maryland to Alaska, etc. 2020, zip.

In addition to many items listed above, in roughly chronological order:

Bigger front tv on MorRyde mount.

Lambright custom dual electric recliners.

Replaced ALL countertops. Was going to do solid surface but Jayco gave me new replacements free. To prevent future delamination problems I gave all of them 6 coats of marine polyurethane on the undersides and installed the sinks and faucets with butyl tape rubber tape.

Replaced faucets with Moen.

Replaced the small tilt-out drawer with a real drawer.

Installed ceramic "penny tile" backsplash.

Reconstructed bed to tilt up the head by 6" to help with my acid reflux issues.

Added a permanent trickle charger for the engine.

Added a 30 amp outdoor box for complete full hookups at home.

I could have looked back to nice, cleaned up pics but wanted to do this now.

First, original table and chairs, while nice, were huge. Took them out. Jim built two cabinets on each side of the resulting space. We bought a lighter table with a big folding section and just two chairs. Saved a lot of weight. Second, we took out the cooktop and microwave from the outdoor kitchen for more space. (No pic)

Third, the glass sliding shower door stopped working. Took it out and replaced with a shower rod and curtain. Easier cleaning and a lot less weight.

Fourth, while a king was nice, that 4-6 extra inches was a big loss. Bought a queen and cut the board under it down. More space to get to closets.

Fifth, Lowe’s has ikea like storage. Used the trash can one to make it more accesible.

Sixth. Jim built a rolling shelf to store large items in the pots and pan cabinet.

We did not have any idea when we started this trailer life that you could do such things. Ours is a 2015 34-foot Jayco.

Oh, yeah, upgraded hitch to a better version.

Track bar is a Super Steer by Henderson line up. Road Master Reflex steering stabilizer. Got both from RV Upgrades.com

RV USB Charging Port | Dual... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07ZQJPJMB...p_mob_ap_share

These USB ports are easy to install. I Drilled 1 1/4” hole (I believe), next to any 12V light fixture switch and tap off that 12V .

Hey Atlee I like your bin hooks. I have been thinking about installing gas struts to keep them open but your solution seems just as effective and cheaper! Where did you get them and what was your method to attach them to the fiberglass wall?

Ok, fellow 25R owner and I have done most of the items on your lengthy list in some way or another. I have some questions about some of your mods/changes and hopefully you can elaborate for me!

4. I have been pondering replacing the outdoor faucet for some time but cannot figure out how to access the plumbing underneath. The faucet is WAY too short for the location. Actually the sink is too long for the space, should be about half the size but I'm not changing that until I need to change the counter tops.

13. Yes, this mattress is horrible. Causing me shoulder pains. Can you provide some more info on the one you replaced it with? Foam? Innersprings? Cost?

24. Not sure what this was for or what problem this may have solved. Our basement storage, though small, is fine.

25. Why? Were you having issues?
