Our Favorite Travel Trailer Modifications & Upgrades

[@michillekrantz5154]

We purchased a shower, caddy dispenser that dispenses your shampoo and body wash,, and we love it it’s been a couple years. It stayed on with the adhesive that they give you no screwing into the wall necessary. It’s absolutely amazing. We got it on Amazon and ours holds five different soaps. This way you can have your shampoo and your conditioner in your body wash depending on if you guys both use the same thing or if you eat you something different. One of the best things we’ve ever bought.

Thank you for your videos and very helpful tips! I think you are my favorite KZbin channel for campers. We have a TT for a few months and haven't taken it out yet on a trip. You all are easy to understand and calm/peaceful - which is so nice.

You should do a video on how to wash your rig. It's always super clean.

Appreciate this video. I have a Riverside Retro 135 - really small! Only to thing add: I put up hooks EVERYWHERE - great for hats, coats, cups, and out of the way. Trust me, put up a hook and you'll use it. Thanks!

@JackFilms99 We do love hooks and have added a few! Cool camper for sure! Thanks for watching and happy camping! 🤩

Some good tips. Some of the rear cameras will connect to,your tow vehicle monitor which is a nice. The changing of the tires we used to call china bombs. They will blow up after minimal use.

You guys are great. My wife and I used our travel trailer for the first time 2 weeks ago. What an experience! We went to a lake close to home just to practice. Almost froze the first night because the heater would not stay on. Anyway, you have given me some great ideas for our future travels. Keep up the good work.

[@eb3168]

We have a burn mark on the wall next to our stove. Your panel from Amazon is a great idea. I’ll have to figure out a way to make it stick. I really like the transcript which is very helpful. Thanks for a great video.

[@OutsidebySide]

@EB316 We appreciate you watching our video! We have also had a hard time making the vinyl tiles stick due to the humidity and the texture of the RV paneling. We are considering covering the area with a smoother material such as aluminum for the adhesive back tiles to stick. We will try to make a video on this if it works! Happy camping! 🤩

[@c.m.303]

Some people use a ceiling tin as well as a sheet of stainless steel...or maybe aluminum?? Anyway, heat proof and easy to clean and easier to put up and stay up. Or you could use construction adhesive and glue the tiles to a luan board or similar, (that would allow changes and updates over time), and then fix the luan board to the wall.

[@AlgaeWhisperer]

I really appreciate your videos as we are brand new to trailer camping also ... cheers

[@davidgroves8049]

Great video Just found your channel! Maxx air vent covers in my opinion are a must have! a maxxair fan is a great way to move air! I installed one in our front vent and its moves so much air my wife gest cold when I open a back window( you actually feel a good breeze). I used to use the LED puck lights for lighting dark spaces that had no or little light coverage. I got tired of replacing batteries. I installed 12 volt puck lights. Its actually not hard to do as long as you have a 12 volt wire running close by. Maybe I should have stated this before, my wife and I are heavy rv mod kinda people. Oh yes good year tires ! another must have. well happy camping.

[@OutsidebySide]

@David Groves We are so happy you have found our channel and thank you for taking time to comment. We definitely need a Maxxair fan because it gets so hot in Texas! The 12 volt puck lights sound like a great idea! We are mods kinda people also and really enjoy hearing what you have done to your trailer!

[@CommonManBBQ]

@@OutsidebySide thank you for the link. Also I just saw a interesting mod yall may want to try. I saw on another channel they used a 4” pvc pipe cut to length to cover their awning from sun damage when parked or traveling. It’s basically just two pieces one long one the length of the awning roll and then one short two foot piece that snaps over that piece. Snap on snap off. No disassembling the awning or anything complicated… I liked the idea.

[@paulc8092]

How do you attach your Rhino portable sewer tank to your rear bumper? Like you I have no attached rear ladder to hang it on to secure it (what that big hook underneath the unit is for) I have the 36G model Thanks. Also added 2 more RV windows and an outside shower unit like you did, just have to take careful measurements before making those saw cuts and holes in the TT. Also easy to add privacy curtains. storage shelves, and towel bars for each sleep area (front queen & bunks). Plus the Hott Rod electric heating option for the hot water tank since my TT has LP water heating only (simple 15 mins. installation). Why use your own LP since the electric is already paid for. Safe & Happy travels!!!

[@OutsidebySide]

@Paul C In regards to the rhino, it’s an additional bracket that we purchased on Amazon. Here is the link: Camco Rhino Bumper Mount RV Tote Tank Carrier - Mounts Directly onto Your RV Bumper to Secure Your Rhino Tote Tank in Place During Travel ; Fits All Tote Tank Sizes : 15, 21, 28, & 36 Gallon (39010) www.amazon.com/dp/B07P8B9WHD/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_J5YM3TQM1VRAE5CDYCEJ?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1 Glad to hear you have the 36 gallon model!

[@paulc8092]

@@OutsidebySide Thanks ObS for the link, just sub'd. My TT is the 2017 Keystone 175 LHS, it's obvious where the 2 windows were needed (upper bunk & by the entry door). Our 2 kids are now a young adult and a teen so no longer tag along. When just us or myself as retired & wife still works F/T, the bunks make great extra storage plus nice to always have room for the occasional guest or 2. Also designed and made by own bunk ladder from lumber for about $15 when found out how much the metal bunk ladders cost. Overall it's an OK TT but not sure I would get another Keystone if there is a next time as put in so much effort & time for all those mods. Lucked out as only few minor issues with my TT (AM function in Jensen radio never worked, occasional on /off flashing from overhead light outside the bathroom door and the motor in the small bath vent fan finally died last year so replaced it with the large HENGS Vortex fan, relatively easy but better to do it with 2 persons (1 outside, 1 inside), it's a definite improvement for sure.

[@OutsidebySide]

@@paulc8092 Thank you for subscribing to our channel! Sounds like you have done as much as us to your TT. Lol. The bunk ladder sounds fantastic! We are in the same boat with older children! They are doing their own thing. We have a video coming out in 2 weeks on a bunk mod that we think you will enjoy! Look out for that video. Would like you have a great TT but unfortunately they all have issues due to the build quality! Thanks for responding & happy camping to you guys! 🤩

[@vairon7474]

The issue with the peel and stick tile is that it doesn’t adhere well to the RV wall surface, so applying and let dry a wallpaper sizing will probably cure the problem. Apply to the wall surface and let dry completely, overnight would be best.
