Bought a new 2012 Thor ACE in September last year. Since then I have done or plan to do the following mods: - Removed the jacknife sofa and used the space for a computer table. Replaced the lost seating with 2 reclining office chairs which are comfortable enough for watching TV etc.
- Added spacers to the top of the TV mount to tilt the screen downwards and improve viewing angle.
- Installed Xantrex 2000 watt Inverter to power computer, also rewired outlet at passenger seat computer shelf to use inverter power.
- Made a laundry chute by cutting a 6x6 inch hole in the shelf beside the bed, framing it out and hinging the lid. Laundry drops into a basket in the basement storage.
- Installed Seelevel II tank monitor system.
- Replaced the 30 amp shore power connector with 50 amp, also a voltage regulator and hard wired surge suppressor. Line 1 goes to the existing wiring, Line 2 goes to a new breaker box which supplies 3 additional outlets and item 8 below.
- Ordered 2 digital panel meters which will display voltage and current draw on each line of the 50 amp supply.
- Installed wiring for second air conditioner in bedroom. AC unit is on order.
- Installed Hott Rod electric water heater.
- Installed Hydro Clean tank rinsers on black and grey tanks.
- Installed gas struts on all 4 cargo doors on driver side. Thor omitted to provide any way of keeping the doors open, presumably so they do not catch under slide. I keep a post-it note with NO in big letters to stick over the slide switch when any of the doors are open.
- Installed PressurePro TPMS on MH and toad.
- Installed weather monitor on roof. Displays wind speed/direction, outside temp etc on remote display inside MH.
Enough to be going on with.

We have a 2004 Monaco diplomat
1) did not like the looks of the a/c on ceiling ,so built one that looks better and holds a regular filter
2)we are close to full time,so i removed the sliding doors between the b/r and bath and built 2 light weight cabinets floor to ceiling for can goods,extra storage for what ever we need.This also keeps weight over the rear axel.
3) Added a wireless door bell i got from lowes for $19 works great.Better than someone pounding on door and can hear in b/r

While the batteries were out for the winter, I cleaned up and refinished the house battery tray.

That's pretty cool, rexlaw71. Does that company pay you to drive around? I'd think that'd be a great way to make some money.
