Yeah, most are just thin steel, folded into a square tube. Shouldn't even be called a bumper...
I've heard, was out giving mine a good look the other day.. was very surprised to see how well it was put together considering our TT is kinda bare bones/inexpensive.

I added some shelves to the useless clothing locker next to the frig on our Rockwood 2104.

Bathroom nightlight .. I picked up a high output 12v red LED, installed that and a three way switch into the bathroom fixture. 3 Way switch has off in the center, LED one direction and normal light the other. This way I can aim properly without waking myself up via the bright white light.

No pics, nothing really to see.. the wiring isn't pretty and I used a 3 way switch I had lying around.

Pretty sure this 'idea' was from someone else, just don't recall who and didn't see if in this thread.

More Andersen Levelers. I added the pull cords to allow for quick removal when driving off.

Bigbird65 , good idea, I had already done the chocks but hand't thought about the larger leveler. My wife is the one who pulls them out while I drive the truck so that will help as well.

I see the added LED light, but I don't understand your reference to a 12v Heater mod?

Many frig's have a humidity control heater which keeps part of the frame warm to prevent condensation. Some frig's have a switch for it but many don't so even while you're on battery this heater is sucking the juice. I put a switch in to allow me to turn off the heater when I'm running on battery.

Here's an informative thread on the subject.

The 1/4" rope is a loop secured with a couple of Tye-wraps. My wife usually is the one who pulls them out also. She really likes the convenience.

I use lynx blocks. Seem to work, and work well when I tell my wife to go for a hike while I setup. Saves time... [emoticon]
