Special hitch? Bottle opener on a wheel arch? Cable channel to cover cords? Custom control panel?

Rewired it so everything was fused and worked properly - something the manufacturer completely screwed up

Apart fromt the purchase,

Replace the black steel wheels with a set of Mickey Thompson Classic locks.

Replace the mud tyres with a very mild A/T.

I don't like to be the same as everybody else.

$10 Solar light string along the awning and camper and $2 Solar garden lights at each awning rope and Ensuite toilet / shower tent  to provide low light Full moon type glow ambience  instead of harsh bright LEDS on at night .
2 x Portable 25 lt water containers instead of onboard water tank for easier refills .
4 x Tie down points on camper, decent pegs, ratchet straps and also guy rope attach loops sewn in on the opposite side of tent section to the awning for Heavy  weather stability for longer stays .[ been in 90 kph + storm winds on the beach no troubles ] ..
Rubber O-Rings on all guy ropes instead of springs they  give more flex / springs can pull up solid and cause breakages .
DIY pivot of jockey wheel in the center of A frame draw bar.
American light weight corner steady Jacks .

Having lots of friends on farcebook is the same as having lots of money in monopoly...means absolutely nothing!!

The fact it's sitting in my shed in the backyard....i bought my camper with what's on it because I didn't want to spend my free time working on it and haven't had to do a thing on it, i did enough of that with our previous caravan.
EDIT...i tell a lie, i put a space case storage box on the front gullwing nnox area, needed somewhere to put our camp chairs.

Done too numerous mods to list, but what makes it ours is the special memories it gives us from our numerous trips. We have seen and stayed at so many special places in this great country.

A few small mods to make it work for my family apart from that its stock standard

Craig Tomkinson

Best mod other than rebuild the inside My wife I recon I did to our 1983 Jayco pop up van was bugger off anything to to with gas, like the Stove and fridge and gas bottles on the front, Just use it to sleep in, Craig
1990 80 series 1HZ hill sniffer rebiult with 2 inch lift
1982 Jayco Jaylark  pop up van rebuilt
1999 5m Quintrex King on heavy duty offroad boat trailer

Paddler Ed

Most of it... not as much as some, but more than many others...

The joy of starting with an older box trailer and then configuring it with exactly what you want from the tent to the kitchen and storage.
