So just picked up a new trailer, 2004 desert fox.
Got it for a decent price, was a little bit dirty inside, and needed new mattresses, and some minor repairs on the rear bed lift system.
I had budgeted 10k to buy a toyhauler, but ended up dealing a bit and picked this up for 5500$, so I got a little money to play with now!
Trailer already has 1 year old toyo open country ht tires.
I'm already planning on adding 2 6v batteries, and i've already got a nice inverter generator.
Trailer has a new roof put on this summer, and all major systems have been checked by sumner rv.
So, what are your must do mods on travel trailers/toyhaulers?! I'm thinking a smaller inverter to run a few powered things off grid. Possibly a small solar panel to maintain batteries when in storage. Some sort of grip tape or sanded paint for traction on the ramp.
Were going to re-upholster the couch, ditch the dinette and put in 2 euro recliners in its place... lots of stuff planned so far to make it ours!
So what's your favorite mod, tip or trick?!

Rooftop solar panel! Google systems from Windy Nation. Easy to install, great for bookdocking / dry camping. Then change all the 12v bulbs to LED and you can really go off the grid.

Swap the batteries to 6V golf cart batteries , throw away the factory onboard " smart charger " and get a real charger like one from Progressive Dynamics. Get a set of X - Chocks
