Making the RV Our Own

After talking to my cousin I realized I should probably post a picture of our 5’er since not everyone we know has seen it.  So here it is!

Everyone makes changes with their RV’s to make it more their own.  We have made a few updates to the 5’er since owning it and we have a list of projects yet to do.  Here is a list of the changes we have actually completed.  You will notice these are functionality changes with the exception of the light switches which were aesthetic only.  The interior design changes will begin some time in the future.
Adding a 2 filter water filtration system plus input/output pressure gauges and an adjustable water pressure regulator.

Changing light switches to better match the décor. The switch on the right is the color used by the manufacturer.  The other 2 switches are the brown ones we bought and installed which look much better.

    

Adding Hatchlift Kits on both basement doors. 

 

Replaced the kitchen faucet, we had to the faucet had stopped working.  Once John opened it up he found little calcium rocks inside.  We think it was from our time in Landfall, MN.

    

Added cut off valves to our hot and cold water lines in the kitchen.  Now we don’t have to shut the water off to the whole trailer just to work on the kitchen faucet.

Replaced the standard pin with a MO/Ryde pin to help reduce chucking while driving down the road.

Slide corner and pin box foam protectors.  Run into either the pin or corners and it will be painful.  With these foam protectors it has reduced head and shoulder injuries.

     

Clear elbow and valve gate for the dump hose.

LED marker lights, LED lighting inside.  LED lighting has no heat output so you can touch a light without getting burned.  It is expensive though so we buy a few here and there as we can afford.  This is the light over our dining table.

Moved the Fantastic fan from bedroom to bathroom.  Linoleum on bed platform to help with making the bed.  The bed platform is just particle board and linens tend to snag on it.

 

Dark tinted bedroom windows then covered them up more with Solar window covering and a Blackout Curtain.

       

Additional gas tank and auto fuel switch on the truck.  The switch allows for filling the main tank from the spare tank while moving down the road.  Works pretty slick too you just need to keep on eye on the gas gauge and not accidentally overfill it.
