These is a great video! We took our Escapade out for the first time this weekend. Your mods are giving us some great ideas for what we want to do as well. The holder for the jack crank handle is my favorite. I’ve been looking for a place to hang that thing. Keep up the videos!

Thank you, Jennifer. Bill gets all the credit for the jack handle storage! Before that, we always seemed to be moving it.because it was always in the way.

Love the ideas, especially the Cam-Jam, which I’d never heard of until now. But our local store here in Australia sells them, so off to get some tomorrow. Keep up the great videos.

Hi ya, ottoswinebar. Thanks for stopping by and the kind note. The Cam-Jam is new to us too. It has such a fun, memorable name. We needed a solution and were standing in the hardware store on the bungee cord aisle. We didn't really want a bungee cord for this purpose, but it's the closest thing we could think of. Browsing EVERY shelf, we hoped something would "jump out" at us and say, "I'm what you need." And lo and behold, it did! Pretty cool that they have them in beautiful Australia too.

Been looking for ideas and just found a bunch!! Thanks so much for this very detailed video. Happy Traveling!!

Thank you for sharing your modifications. May I suggest that SAE connectors work, but our portable power system changed out all of ours this year to Anderson-style PowerPole connectors from Powerwerx. They offer better connectioins, higher amperage, and tethers to prevent loosening. The Powerwerx line of connectors, tools, guages and accessories are among the best for DIY'ers like us.

Where did you get the extra magnets you bought for the door latches. They were the perfect size to match the mounted door magnet. You do a perfect job on your video. Very to the point and great filming! I love that you get right to it and do not waste my time while filming neighbors or walking around.

It's a ceramic block magnet. It's been a while, but if memory serves we saw it at Home Depot by chance. They are also available at Lowe's and Amazon. Sure do appreciate your kind words about the video.

I like the interlocking foams, the magnetic door stops, and folding mattress. They are great upgrades/modifications. I wish the manufacturer upgrades the door hinge to wind-resistant. I question ALL RV monitoring gauge/reading accuracy (battery charging, water level, etc.); they are junk. The floor is easily replaceable with aluminum when the plywood is rotted. They cheap out on the floor. Increasing fuse amp is great to reduce the burnout; however, there is a small risk of fire hazard because if the electrical wire is small, not rated for higher fuse amp, it will get hot and will melt and cause fire. I only run portable electric heater; it's safer and more efficient than propane heater.
