2008 Copper Canyon 297FWBHS Modifications
We are a young family in our 30's and purchased this like-new coach from the original owners. It's not the best floor plan or highest quality, but fits our needs for now and best of all there's no lein on it. In the bedroom , there are closets on either side of the bed, we mainly take weekend trips packing summer clothes, so we didn't need alot of space to hang garments. I see where others have made shelves to add space. I'm not a carpenter, so a quick trip to Wal-Mart netted some plastic organizers with drawers. they fit the space well, and can be removed if we need to change the arrangement. In the kitchen we added a weather station with the remote sensor attatched to the pinbox via a magnetic key holder. As others have commented, there are no towel racks in the bathroom, or space in this one for that matter. (I really miss the walk through bath on our '91 Excel) I had some wood towel bars I'd bought for the house and never installed. When my contractor was working on the house, I had him stain alittle wood and mount them in the 5th wheel. I was concerned with a 6yr old daughter who's too short to lift the towell off the bar, if she pulled the towel off, it wouldn't be too long and the bar would be pulled out of the wall if we used plastic anchors. He installed one set high with coat hooks, and another set lower. For a TP holder we set on on the floor, and then installed a cheap particle board shelve under the cabinet for more storage. I had my graphics shop modify our company logo and match it to the stripe colors on the trailer. Out back, we installed a hitch and mud flaps. I used regular plastic flaps and then notched them to fit around the bumper brackets. They are attached with U bolts. I also installed the 7-way receptical the same way. I also didn't want to lose the square plugs in the bumper, so I found a fender washer that would fit inside the plug and then took a large cotter-pin and inserted it through the hole. I spread the ends, and that left a nice loop to attach a short piece of chain to, which is attached to the bumper ends. Now if the caps vibrate out, or I forget to insert them, they won't be lost. Overall, we enjoy the camper, sure there are things we'd change, but for now this one works well.
