Here is what I've done so far:
1)removed fabric underbelly (had to), installed metal and a trailer hitch.
2)redid the gasket under the main slide-out.
3)redid all coax connections.
4)installed DexFlex axel gadgets (can't remember the real name of these things but they attach to the spring shackles to prevent forward/backward chucking).
5)Maxair covers over all vents - these are the kind that one can remove pins from one side to get under them for cleaning.
6)replaced front landing legs - each one now has its own motor and switch and they are a lot more powerful than the OEM's.
7)had installed solar panel set-up for boondocking as well as built a portable 500w wind generator but I've removed all that. We discovered we would rather go to a commercial park.
8)installed LED lights through-out the coach. Even put a 12 ft. strip under the door side of the 5er with a remote control.
9)new Optima battery.
10)under overhang cover.
11)rebuilt the front basement storage door (after putting the truck gate in it). I redid the door by dividing it into two parts, using 3/4 in. marine plywood and used chain to hold the bottom half which now makes a nice work space. Besides the fact that the original door could not be opened with the truck attached.
12)put glass tile splash back around the walls near the stove and around the sink. Here I used a rubber tile glued to the walls to allow the glass tile to flex and not fall off. 2 years and still tight.
I know there is more but can't remember them.
