    Fire suppression

    PROTENG Automatic fire suppression. After seeing the results of several RV fires, this was the most important upgrade. Along with extinguishers always in reach. Trailer, storage and tow vehicle.

    On our 2500RL, we have done the following upgrades/updates: Max air vent covers, RVLocks on both doors, Queen size mattress, added more fire extinguishers, vent covers to block the insects/wasps. What's next on my list: Road Armor suspension and wet bolts, replace Westlake tires with Goodyear endurance. Now after reading on this thread, I may be in the market for a smart TV and installing the fence post sewer hose storage mod!

    Lots of great ideas here, but probably lost on the OP who hasn’t been back in a week.

    On our 2018 2500RL
    Replaced Westlake tires
    Added Blue Ray DVD
    Replaced cabinet doors in kitchen with solid doors that matched the rest of the interior
    Replaced both axels
    Replaced plastic bathroom faucet with residential one

    Not a lot but good improvements

    Not a bunch of items but working good for us

    On our 3250BH:

    MaxAir Vent covers on all three vents (smoke in bathroom and kitchen, solid black in bunk room)
    Screen Defender on main entry door
    Homemade bed rail for our 2 year old on his bunk
    TV in master bedroom and bunkroom
    Oxygenics showerhead
    New mattress (bed-in-a-box from Costco, love it)

    Next up is replacing the Westys with Goodyear, will probably do that before our Fort Wilderness trip in March. Also thinking about upgrading to the 7500lb stabilizer jacks but that isn't a pressing need.

    It is a 5" x 5" vinyl post cover like you would have on a fence post. Cut it to length and hang it underneath the trailer. Inside of that goes a vinyl rain gutter, on which you put your sewer hose. You can slide the rain gutter out like a drawer. Put fencepost caps on the ends, with the end you want to access held on with a spring or a bungie cord. Also called the "fencepost mod".

    Also have suitcase solar to plug in for boondocking. Looking at adding solar to roof, mount sat antenna bracket to roof.
    Put a screw into upper track of bathroom slide door to limit how far it can slide.
    Put strap on bathroom slider to allow keeping it closed when someone is using it. Also added strap to keep it locked open when traveling
    Added Maxxifans with remotes in kitchen and bathroom vents
    Dimmers for overhead lights in bedroom, bathroom and main area.
    Changed out locks for storage doors to match door lock (everyone in the world has the 751 key used for storage bins.
    Also installed Progressive Dynamics 30 amp built in EMS to protect all electronics and the AC in the trailer from over/undervoltage, surge, bad pedestal which may have worn outlet, miswired, bad ground, etc.
    12 volt outlet in bedroom for CPAP to allow boondocking.
    TireMinder TPMS, installing the signal booster behind front basement storage wall and wired to marker lights for power.
    Furrion Series 7 backup/drive monitor system.
    Blue Ox SwayPro hitch system,
    Side topper (keeps top clean and helps quiet down noise from rain).
    Dealer installed hitch for bike rack. You do not want to mount a bike rack on the rear bumper.
    MicroAir EasyStart 364 to AC so it can be run from a 120V outlet.
    AirFlow Duct System which directs AC cold air directly into the ducts-increased air flow about 35% (measured).
    Exhaust screens over hot water heater, furnace and refrigerator exhausts to help prevent mud dabbers (common in our area)
    SnapPad on A frame jack
    Quick connects to water hoses, also adjustable water pressure regulator
    Solar light with motion sensor above entry door
    Yikes!, what did you do before you retired...

    We have a 2020 2500RL. We want at have a vacuum to help clean up. Having a portable with battery is an option, but storage with ability to charge is challenging. Removable batteries would help. Another option we are thinking of is adding in a central vac. I think there is room under our television to mount the unit. There are two doors with storage from the floor up to the tv. It appears that there is a "false" back on this storage that can be removed to add the unit. Any other thoughts for adding a central vac unit. Pros or Cons.

    thanks for your time.
