Mods to date - 2013 Sydney 340FBH

For those of you interested, here are my mods to date for my 340FBH Sydney:
1) resealed with foil tape all ceiling ac duct openings (improve air flow)
2) closed off ends of ceiling ducts to improve airflow to the end of the line (fore and aft) ceiling ac vent openings
3) did the same as #2 on end of the line floor heat vent openings. This made drastic improvement in heat air flow, especially to the rear bedroom duct
4) modified factory installed cable coax so I can run two direct tv receivers from two separate coax cables from dish (now use both "cable" and "satellite prep" connections on outside.
5) installed additional wooden shelf in kitchen cupboard above sink.
6) installed additional wire shelf in right front bedroom storage cabinet
7) installed wire rack in shower for shampoo bottles
8) installed wooden spice racks above stove
9) installed towel and clothing hooks in both bedrooms and bathroom
10) upgraded to Firestone Transforce LT tires
11) installed stabilizer bars on landing gear (similar to JT Strongarm)- major improvement, ditched the tripod
12) Installed papertowel holders at inside and outside kitchens
13) Removed partition in basement and re did sloppy foil tape on furnace ducting by factory. While in there, organizedand neatened up all loose wiring
14) using spray foam, sealed off any visible gaps near underbelly
15) reinforced rear bumper and installed 4 bike rack (very stable). Removed spare tire.and useless grill mount
16) replaced ac/heat thermostat with hunter digital/programmable thermostat (big improvement)
17) moved false partition back about 6" in cabinet beneath stove to provide additional storage.
18) Installed roof vent covers on all 4 roof vents

Wish list:
1) install wet bolt kit on suspension
2) install stabilizer bars on rear scissor jacks
3) upgrade factory junk speakers (I'm and out)
4) LED light strip below awning
5) install dash style cell phone holders on wall next to bed in master (no Nightstands)

Pending warranty issues:
1) floor flexing at entry door when weight applied to entry steps (appt 5/15 to fix- dealer has to remove side skirt to getting to outrigger and perimeter floor framework. I'm nervous about this one)
2) power awning switch is bad (part ordered)
3) DVD player doesn't work (waiting in replacement)


That's it for now
Steve
