Modification Addiction

Does anyone else seem to do constant modifications. I am finding I kinda enjoy working on it

So far :
4 6 volt Golf cart batteries
2000 watt inverter w/ three stage charger
Auto power transfer switch
Hardwired EMS surge protector
Replaced the kitchen backsplash with vinyl tiles
Torklift steps
Max air fan
Max air vent covers
LED Bulbs throughout
Fresh water filter
Bluetooth Propane tank gauges
Receiver hitch welded to frame for bike rack

On the list still:
Sound bar for TV
400 watts of solar
wireless backup observation camera
Battery condition monitor
Paint front cap gel coat
Eternabond all seams on roof (in progress)

The list seems to grow as fast as I can tackle it. Sad thing is I bought this fifth wheel in February

If you get the remote panel for the inverter you will not need the battery monitor. It will do that for you and and control the inverter too.

I have that lol but was looking for one with a little more information displayed all on one screen. I actually have the monitor just haven't installed it yet because it requires a very precise cutout to be made in the paneling. I haven't felt brave enough to try it.

Kind of a hobby... A little cheaper than airplanes or boats..

Installing an inverter for the res frig.
Also looking at replacing Crankshaft and Camshaft sensors as preventative.
Might drop the gas tank ang replace the fuel pump as preventative

I also like doing web sites, so it works out to document my hobby..
