What camper mods?

[Ozarkryder]

There is a thread about motorcycle campers over in the Stallion forum. I had a post, and thought it may get more traction in a more general area. -

Re: Motorcycle/Trike pull behind campers

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

We had an older Timeout - unfold the top and side, put up the poles and throw the tenting over it and attach. Like an umbrella tent on a platform, not a pop-up. Really liked the entry on the side instead of the end as most other campers have.
We now have an '02 Bunkhouse, and love the thing. I am planninig on modifying the awning to the more modern shock-corded support so it doesn't droop, and have made a cooler rack. May add an electrical port sometime.
So what mods have you made to your camper, no matter what brand or style? How did you do it, and would you do it differently if you had to do it over again? Be interesting to see the creativity of the group, and blatantly steal some good ideas.

Good idea and thread, Don. What modifications others do to their camping trailers is of particular interest to me as well as the "mods" done on others trikes, particularly the Stallion, since I'm physically challenged due to having a stroke. Metaldad (Brent) has made a number of "mods". to his Aliner Alite Camper that I found very interesting and informative. I hope to share what I intend to accomplished as well, just as soon as my '11 Stallion arrives and the temps. gets a whole lot warmer. I'm beginning to think that the temps./season change will occur first, as it's been over 7 months since I placed my order for my Stallion and still no definite delivery date announced. TMS can provide no date either, per Nick the last time I checked (2 weeks ago). With better than 30" of snow on the ground :Snow: and temps. often in the single digits as the high, waiting for the news to arrive of it's delivery, is not a difficult thing. Presently I have neither, trike or camper. I'll be seriously looking for a camper, come spring.

When we got our Bunkhouse, we had a few good coolers, so we didn't opt for the factory cooler, rack and it's cover. Made a cooler rack with angle iron with holes. Just cut to length and bolted it up. Easy to change if we get a different size cooler. A few bungee cords have held it securely for thousands of miles on all types of roads. The hinge goes to the front so wind doesn't lift the lid and allows easy entry from inside the camper through the cooler access.

I've been running with an Aspen Sentry the last couple of years. Really haven't had to do any mods to it since it was very functional in its stock form. But have added the following as permanent accessories:

a. 6x8 indoor/outdoor carpet to put under the "den". It also extends out 2 feet to serve as a door mat.
b. $18 Wally World 2 speed heater and fan
c. 25 ft reel electric cord with 4 oulets
d. $12 Lowes clamp-on desk light
e. Foxtail

I added a fold up step on the rear of my Aspen Ambassador that also has my license
plate on the under side when in use as a step.This doing away with the cheesy plastic step stool thay send with the trailer.
