What do you mean by screen door handle? We replaced our entry door window with EDWIN right after we purchased our trailer and LOVE it!! Also replaced the tiny fan in the bathroom with a Fantastic Fan.

I'm talking about this bar from Camco....http://www.etrailer.com/RV-and-Campi.../CAM42183.html It really helps with opening and closing the screen door and is easy to install.

I haven't installed the EDWIN yet. I had the glass tinted with the darkest limo tint I could get to help with night time privacy but I'm still going to need some type of door curtain.

Found a shelf unit that fits perfectly in the bathroom adding a lot of extra storage space.

Depending on the "aim of the boys in the family" a shelving unit that close to the toilet could be "good storage" or a "better than the wall splash shield". Keep a watchful eye on things on the lower shelf if you have anyone with lousy aim in the family !!!

Good point! Not a problem though, it's just the wife and me.

It would NEVER work around my grandkids or even the guys I go deer hunting with.

I have no doubt that my DW would be "talking loud and fast" after the first time one of those "barely civilized guys" used the toilet.......

Another good reason to have a large ceramic bowl Dometic 320 toilet!

I did a few more updates recently. We have a 5-night stay in Cherokee, NC coming up after Thanksgiving. Cannot wait to camp in the Bullet!

New auto changeover two stage regulator and steel braided pigtails...

Not yet. I took it to a local shop and had a dark limo tint put on it. Looks great but I will still have to have some type of curtain since you can still see inside it when there is a light on.

Looks great so far, what exactly did you buy for your led replacement bulbs and how are they in brightness compared to the standard ones?

I used these LEDs for most of the trailer....

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00...?ie=UTF8&psc=1

this one for the stove light.....

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00...?ie=UTF8&psc=1

and these for the two outside lights....

http://www.amazon.com/GRV-Ba15s-Powe...CXCS7Y9BFWHMCF

They are all a little brighter than the bulbs they are replacing but not that blinding blue light you usually see with a lot of LEDs. I'm very happy with them.

I did not like the toilet that came with the trailer at all. I've had the same one before in another trailer and it only took one camping trip to convince me to get rid of it. This one is a lot more comfortable (full size just like a home toilet) plus it is much easier to clean being ceramic.
