bunch of mods to my 2017 1750rd

I put on a gas tank cover, it needed modification to the back.
I don't know why they don't come with it from the factory ?.

I also put in gas gauge.

Changed over to led lights replaced all 12 inside with 921LED and outside door light to 1156LED.

Got them from Ebay 20 warm white bulbs for 14.99
http://www.ebay.com/itm/281993224335...%3AMEBIDX%3AIT
2 warm white outside door for 5.98

Lights nice and white not as bright as factory but we don't light bright lights in trailer.

http://www.ebay.com/itm/261635695600...%3AMEBIDX%3AIT

I noticed that with one ficture on 2 factory bulbs fan on converter goes on .
1 bulb it does not.

All 12 inside LED's and 1 outside LED's on the fan doesn't go on.
that means 13 LED's = 1 regular bulb



Also installed a 300 watt inverter built it into dummy panel next to fuse box.
Behind it was wheel well to mount it to.
was going to install a 12 volt outlet but realized I only use it for inverter so mounted that instead.

Why don't you get a 12 volt plug ?


Put in tv also had the swivel bracket and tv from old camper

I can clean it from access under dinette or from outside hatch.
I surrounded it with Omaha steaks cooler lids .Also insulates


Also installed a safe in wardrobe cabinet,had it from other camper .

Looks good, good luck. Have never seen a trailer that did not come with a tank cover.

All very nice. Thanks for sharing! Got sign off from DW on the laundry mod. Great idea and will work nicely under our Murphy/couch storage area.

Took small stuff out of 2007 funfinder 189fbs a tree fell on it and it was totaled.
Insurance paid up $9,500 after deductible only paid $11,500 for new keystone .
it is larger same weight.

I also have a electric cord 30 amp, table, sink cover, curtain divider + some other removable stuff put them up on fun finder sight don't want much im sure someone can use them.





I don't know why there no gas tank cover with the 1 tank trailers, there also wasn't a jack plate ? don't like it sitting on a pole, got one for free at the dealers store

Stabilizer Pads

Can you get close up of your stabilizer pads and post them here. They look awesome and I might be interested in something like this.

I use them only in driveway as its sloped.

I just cut 3 logs to size needed 2 for stabilizers 1 for tongue caped with some copper sheathing used for roofs attached some 1x plank to bottom as 1st ones I made rotted at bottom after several years,figured I can change out bottom if needed.
I also soaked the logs with used motor oil
Bought some handles at dollar store , that's it.

try to get some pics soon.
