I'm very interested in the 23 RB. If I can sell my current trailer, that's the one I want to get.

Keep us informed on how well it performs for you.

You mentioned "full timing". Is there just one of you, or two?

Not in one place, I've just posted as I've gone with some mods.

I've put foam pipe insulation on all contact points on water lines so they don't rattle when the water pump kicks on

Bug screens on all appliance vents

Wingman upgrade to antenna

Built shelves in the upper cabinets to double storage

Installed tinted gel film in all the inside light covers so the LEDs are warmer and softer

Mounted a 12 volt muffin fan inside the fridge and a 12 volt fan in the chimney and hard wired them both to a switch mounted by stove (cools fridge faster and evenly)

Just plumbed in a quick connect hose inside for my Big Buddy Heater from the incoming propane line so I can run a Buddy Heater off the trailers onboard propane when Boondocking or rationing propane and don't want to run big furnace

Cut and fit foil insulation for all windows and skylights so I can black out entire trailer and block hot sun if needed

Injected expanding foam insulation in every single opening a mouse or other critter could enter TT. Sealed entire belly then went inside and foamed every wire and plumbing hole shut.

Installed 400w of solar and 415ah battery bank from Renogy

Installed Fantastic Vent with thermostat and cover in bathroom

Hanging shelves in bedside closets to utilize all that weird space

Screen door push bar is a must, makes door so much stiffer and easier to use

Wired an 800 watt inverter in front storage for Boondocking and installed a 150watt inverter in entertainment center cubby hole to run T.V.

Carpeted front storage, under dinette bench storage and bathroom closet floors

Built a shoe rack/everything shelf next to door behind dinette bench

Mounted Maglite next to front door

I'm sure there are little things I'm missing but those are the mods that are fresh in my head lol
