Shakedown trip in the new Sydney - success

Just returned from the maiden voyage in the new Sydney fiver. I have been prepping and modding her since I brought her home about 5 weeks ago.
Spent three nights at Woodstream Campsite in Gainesville, NY. The weather was beautiful. Everything worked except the awning, but I knew that. Dealer is waiting for awning controller switch to come in. I was able to use the awning, but had to jump the switch with alligator clips to open and close.
My favorite mod I did was remove the regulator on the Weber Q and hooked it up directly to the low pressure LP outlet at the rear bumper. So much more convenient. I love the full outside kitchen. Believe it or not, Keystone actually put a decent queen mattress in this one. No sore back.
Looking forward to a camping filled summer.
Steve

Next mod for my 340fbh is to put a screw with a bumper on it to keep the sliding door to the bathroom from opening too far. Sometimes ours will slide a bit too far and come out of the cheap plastic holder at the bottom. I also want to figure out some sort of night stand shelf thing for my wife's cell phone on her side of the bed.

I haven't had any problems with the sliding door yet. I am thinking of mounting a dash style cell phone holder on the slide out wall next to the bed. Outlet is right there. I have done a bunch of other mods. We should share them sometime. The couches suck. I do know that. Everything else is OK as far as dislikes.

We have the pleather couches and like them but had to add some plywood behind each of them to support the air mattresses. Pretty poor design there. I still want to add a spice rack and some dividers for the shelves in the kitchen cabinets.
