That explains the outstanding OEM look.

5 Bunks + Storage Cornerstone 45K
My wife & I have 8 children (ages 15 - 2) and were looking to start traveling with the family. In April, we located a 2013 Cornerstone 45k (RBQ) which was dealer overstock and proceeded very quickly to have it modified to add enough bunks to sleep everyone.
A local RV company removed the rear vanity and added 3 bunks. Then modified the closet to add another 2 bunks. There are 2 end cabinets inside the closet bunks used for clothing. The great thing about modifying a recent coach is that the installer was able to order all of the matching woodwork, paneling, and cabinet doors from Entegra.
Worked out great for the summer trips!

Tiffin maintains a list of "after-hours" employees and what types of work they do. You call them after work and they come to your rig or you take it to where they have a personal shop to work on your rig. They purchase all the items they need (wood, doors, stain, etc in our case) directly from Tiffin, so it's the same grade and quality as what the rig is manufactured using. It is VERY reasonably priced too. TJ does excellent work.

What an awesome idea, not to mention the extra income for the employee and the added uptick in PR for the company. Who knew?

What a great mod to get the family out to see the country. In all my looking at alternatives for floor plans, this shows what can be done when a person wants to go mobile. Congrats!

Nice work on this family mod.
What was the ballpark cost of the work?

Great mod to accommodate a large family! When they get all grown up, it will time to refurbish!

Added LED light to the water bay
I have a lot of leftover waterproof LED's from the step lights, so I added a strip to the lower, dark part of the water bay. They're blue, but at least it's light.
I covered the bottom of the 1/2 backing board with metallic duct tape so the lights would have good adhesion. Photo #1
Loosen the corner brace to slide the wire behind the channel and over to the trigger switch. Photo #2
There is now a strip of bright white LED's at the top of the wet bay, and blue waterproof in the lower area that was still dark. Photo #3

Chuck, if you ever run short on money you can lease your mh out as a Bordello. Noel

I won't repeat what the DW said If it's too much, it's just one wire to unplug from the trigger switch to disconnect them. Isn't there a TV show called "Pimp My Ride"? Maybe I can get a spot on it. I do wish I would have had some white LED's left over.
