Mods to your rig?

Hi All!
I have a 2020 Springdale SG280 and was wondering what mods everyone has made.

I have some in mind:
1. tankless water heater
2. upgraded suspension (smooth out the ride)
3. better speakers
4. LED tail/running lights (better visibility)

What have you done with your rigs?

Bob

On demand water heater: spend a LOT of time researching the different brands and their issues. Only 1 I can truly recommend is a Truma, Not cheap.

First mod I'm planning on our new 220RD is a real battery cutoff switch. 2nd will be to plumb the fresh water drain from that lame stub hanging off the tank to some Pex and a ball valve mounted near the exterior. It's easier to drain the fresh tank on our race trailer than on this RV.
