Travel Trailer Mods

As i sit at my dinette waiting for answers from work... here is what I can think of so far..

- I have the typical blue hose charcoal filter, but want to and recommend the higher quality stand ones. Most importantly, the self service ones. Think whole home filter... I want to stop buying/packing water regardless of my on grid destination.
- strongly recommend a surge protector. Mine has shown me two faulty sites so far on 30amp hookups, so I also recommend:
- 50 to 30 step down/dog bone.
- I bought and stickered a bucket to cover my jack controls...
- I have the fold down ladder for entry and highly recommend kids shoes on the feet for those who do, it brings in less sand.
- stick to wall towel hangers, paper towel rack, and TP holder. Eventually I will do something with the shower as well.
- totes for storage in pass through gunnel. Also a tool bag for all the setup/tear down bits and level.
- Multiple hoses and extension cords. I havent found a way to store them i love yet, but working on that.
- I havent done it yet, but I will be doing a starlink pass through here before to long.

 

I need @memario1214 to come up with a harness that let's me move the BD hitch light to the trailer receiver when I'm towing... maybe even throw a set of Squadrons up top





Running out room for stickers after some recent additions:

 

Here is what I came up with to keep my gloves and hand sanitizer organized. It’s on the same size as my sewer hookups.

 

Does the hand sanitizer ride upside down when the door is closed?

 

Same question. I'm trying to figure out how that doesn't drip while stored.

 

I really like your profile picture. Very cool.

Trailer mods you say? *cracks knuckles*

Trailer mods are a favorite past time.

2017 Jayco 267BHSW:



30amp Conversion Kit



30 amp Outlet on my house next to the RV pad



Pressure accumulator tank (cuts WAY down on water pump cycling)



Relocated Winterizing tube



Upgrade to 6000# axles because one of the 3500# failed. Unplanned expense. I learned that manufacturers tend to put 3500# axles on large trailers which are sufficient by numbers, but not in reality.



Hardwired USB outlets



Black Tank Flush Kit



400W of solar on the roof



Campchef gas supply from trailer



6V golf cart batteries



I realized soon after buying the trailer that there was NO circuit protection off the battery whatsover. Turns out there was a recall on Jaycos from about this era.


Power shutoff



I re-wired the manual A/C controls to be triggered by a residential thermostat. Used 12v to 120v relays. No real pics though.



Latest mod: 2025 Tundra with the TRD Rally package

 

Yes, it’s never dripped once.

 

Nope, not at all.
