  Best mod was removing the table and adding bed slats.  We just did our first rip after this change and it felt very spacious inside and no risk to the doorway when taking the table in and out.

  We just had several mods made, and I'd say the best has been the shelving and the added power outlet in the front.  For pics, go here...  http://tab-rv.vanillaforums.com/discussion/3813/mods-to-the-h-wk-t-b

  I got PVC pipe and mounted it like Lil_Lucy. A lot cheaper and painted it black.

  My most valuable mod has been installing my Enduro Power Mover
  
  www.purplelineusa.com
  
  It gives me complete control on parking the camper, hitching, unhitching, and storing in my garage. I "can" back up the trailer, but this guarantees I will never get into a backing up pickle that I can't get out of without help.
  
  My 2nd most valuable mod were my storage doors to access the bench seating. I added two exterior doors, and the now standard bench door. There is lots of storage under the bench seats that I wasn't using as I hate "moving something to get to something else" so accessing those areas from doors instead of lifting the bench seating became very useful.
  
  
  
  

  Did you do it yourself? Where did you buy the doors?

  There are several interesting ideas on this blog. How about a shoe holder for the bottom of your T@B door?

  Sorry to resurrect this old post but I'm looking for a better storage solution for the hose on the 2013 T@B that I just bought. Do the fittings on the T@B hose fit inside this storage tube? What length tube is required (there are a number of options on Amazon).

  Marceline,
  
  I used a 46 inch hose carrier. It holds a 10 foot hose (with fitting) and straps on the tongue real nice.

  Marceline - what a pretty name - we got the Valterra 64 inch version and have it on the passenger side of the tongue.  It holds up to 20 feet of compressed rhinoflex hose.

  The on/off LED switch for the Jensen stereo and fixing a speaker that was cutting in and out at the same time (loose connector next to the Jensen. Adding the spare tire mount (mine got put on the Yakima rack). Heater vents (2015 didn't have those on the back shelf) and finally, the digital Alde panel (now standard).

  Great idea! I've been using electrical tape. In a tiny T@G, those blue LED's are like lasers! Use one switch to kill both TV and radio.
  
  Now I just need to find a switch for the AC fan that I can't kick off at night. All of the covered switches that I can find flip to off on cover close.

  ...and this thread is awake again!
  
  I was debating between the dual golf cart batteries or the TriMetric battery monitor, and I have to say my favorite is the battery monitor.  I had it installed first when I still had the group 24 battery.  Having the ability to see my battery's TRUE capacity, from 0-100%, is priceless.  No more guessing if I have enough power to make it through the night, or if my batteries are dropping below the critical 50% threshold.

  Don't think it has been mentioned yet so.. motion sensitive, battery operated, LED lights ( just small ones) in each of the cupboards.  Open a cupboard door an there is light enough to see stuff.  Also in the bathroom for night visits.  Will be placing a push on/off one above the main door ( a soft light ) to use instead of the main ceiling light.  I find the one installed from factory almost unusable because it's so bright.

  The higher light is a push on/off.  The bigger one is motion sensitive and typically in the lower cupboard but I put it here for the picture to show the difference.

  I am so frustrated with the sewer hose.  Where to put it on the Outb@ck?  I am tired of have to find a safe place away from the dog, bedding and other stuff on board the T@B and truck.  It does not fit well on the Yakima rack or at all on the checkerplate outback propane box.

  @Bill_Cochrane, Go to Amazon, search sewer hose storage. Or, go to the search menu above & type in sewer hose. There are ALL kinds of ideas & remedies for the good 'ol "stink hose"!

  Assuming 1) it's available as a kit from nüCamp and 2) it will mount fine inside a 320 tail, the new 400 hose storage solution looks pretty slick to me.

  But if you put it on the tail, what are you drilling in to?  It should be frame mounted.

  Why, it is not very heavy 6000 plus miles held on by 4,  1/4" bolts and fender washers no issues.
