And not just any ole toy hauler.
I'm well aware that my tiny toy hauler would fit in the garage of some of these Mighty Voltage rigs.

But just to get back on track, I'm officially posting that I did my first mod.

Next to my pillow, in the wall, are now the oem 110v outlets, the oem USB charge ports, in addition to the recent redneck-added 12v cigarette lighter shaped power port!

Oh, and I'm laying on a modified oem mattress (excuse for one anyways) with a nice comfy 4" memory foam topper.

There, I've posted Toy Hauler mods. I've brought order to the universe.

It means he's saying that the thread has run out of original ideas and people have lost interest so we have to introduce new subjects to revitalize interest.

I see! Well, my best mod so far was getting rid of the King mattress, cutting down the pedestal to fit a queen, and now we sleep better and can move around the bedroom much better. Amazing how much 4-6" can do for ease of movement in a restricted space.

Also added (2) 24 series deep cycle to the one already there. Nice capacity though I'll go the 6 volt route on our next camper.

Installed the "G" rated tires with metal valve stems on the stock wheels. I keep em at 100 psi though. Don't have much faith in the stock aluminum wheels at 110 psi.

I also moved the tie downs around in the garage and added a front wheel chock for the motorcycle.

My next mod is saying goodbye and hello to a 32 footer.

Completed the following recently.
1. Fabricated a trailer hitch to hold bike rack and attached 5" casters to prevent damage in the event back should bottom out in a low dip.
2. Redesigned walls in main cargo area by mounting Dirt Devil box to the upper floor frame then making new carpeted walls. Gave me an additional 16 x 33" floor space.
3. Replaced King Size Mattress with 8" foam for master.
4. This might not have been a mod necessary but, I believe they mounted the TV in the living room incorrectly. While sitting on the couch the articulation was very limited and viewing was poor. Reversed / remounted to other side of cabinet now the articulation is far better for viewing on couch and still allows good viewing from entire main cabin.
5. Installed 14 ply / G-Rated Tires on factory wheels.
6. Next on list this month is going to be Disc Brake Kit.

I did this same mod and picked mine up at CW. In Dothan Al. Makes a difference in using the overhead cabinets

I have a couple of questions regarding your fireplace install as I am looking to do the same.

Looks easy enough. What is the bigger hole and grate below the installed unit? The spec sheet indicates that it is top vented. https://www.homedepot.com/p/AKDY-36-...FQPZwAodLlgGZg I saw on the product pages (Home Deport site) that there were holes on the side of the unit and the instructions show it being surface mounted only. Are these intakes? I am wondering if they shouldn't be blocked off by being inside the island...Sorry so many questions - just wanting to be sure.

lpg/propane tank check monitor

These folks at app products are the best. Their tech support shows they believe in their product and customer base. I have this installed on one of my two tanks and the other night I forgot to look at the level on my phone and got an alert message into the night to tell me my tank was getting low. It woke me up and I switched tanks and did not loose any heat due to running out of lpg. So I then said I need the display for this to put inside the trailer so I don't have to rely on my phone. Called them they explained everything I would need to do which was basically order the display. They were so kind and thoughtful I thought I would just put in a good word for them and their product. I am not affiliated with them at all other than a very satisfied customer.
