There are so many great upgrades you can do ! I think two of the best upgrades I have done are the residential refer and I vented the microwave to outside. No more smoke alarm while cooking !!
You sound like a fix it guy, like me, and you will really enjoy making your already great coach, even better !!

And it's a pre-emmisions coach too.

Thank you! Right now my main pet peeve is the LED exterior headlights and tail lights along with fogs I left Halogen 10 years ago

Also adding DISH receiver today and also doing the research for MOFI or something similar for internet since I work remote.

I will read on residential ref since I thought the one that came in the coach was good enough?

So that was not o the top of the list but ended up working out

super happy about that. Honestly I was set on a class C and about to buy one then one of my racing buddies said that the way I am I wont like C and will be looking to get A sooner than later so I am glad he was able to open my eyes lol

Upgrades and modifications are all part of the fun of ownership!

You sound like a hands on guy, we have been working on a steady stream of upgrades and repairs to our coach and documenting them on our thread.

Thought I would share the link to the thread in case something could be helpful to ya.

All the best and keep us posted on your own updates!

Most likely has EGR, and a DPF (diesel particulate filter).

There were a few early built models that came with pre-emission 06' model year engines.

I replaced the Dometic Side By Side with a Samsung RF18. It is a much nicer refrigerator and it will run for a couple of days on the inverter alone. That's more than I ever need.

If your Camelot came with the Dometic NDA 1402, like my Scepter did, it is a decent fridge! They are power hogs on electricity though. You don't want to run one of these fridges on battery power!
Unfortunately, when it does die, there's no replacing it. That's when you will probably be better off going to a all electric residential fridge.

You are right. Works great for now but I will look into the new stuff too

Thank you so much!

Now got myself in trouble and started reading into new residential fridge. then I am like why do I need LP tank if the only think left on propane is stove top

Since I have AquaHot this might be great time to completely get rid of LP and also install Solar..

Oh the joys of "Motor"homes

Harleytoter · 12-09-2020, 07:56 PM

I changed out gas cooktop to induction top. Put an extension hose on the propane tank and run my grill and a portable fire pit.

gnlandrus · 12-10-2020, 08:13 AM

Oh man, once you go down the upgrade rabbit hole, there is no turning back !! Lol !!!
Been there, doing it !
I have been thinking about removing the big propane tank, only use it for cooking & the bbq, and replacing with a small tank and turning the extra space into usable space. Others have done it with great success.
The list of upgrades is endless !
