I purchased and installed a Rubbermaid paper towel roll holder over the kitchen sink. The only tools needed was a pencil to mark the holes and a phillips screwdriver to drive the screws. Total cost was about $3 and it took me about 15 minutes to locate the perfect position and about 2 to install.

MOD #2...

I installed two bubble levels on the front corner of the trailer to help in leveling. I used calibrated levels with the inch increment lines so I know just how much height is needed to level from side to side. The cost was $8 for the pair and they took about 10 minutes to install.

MOD #3...

I installed a baggage door hook over each baggage door. Something I think the trailer should of came with from the manufacturer, but I guess the dealers need to make money of some kind of extra. Total cost was around $5 and it took about 20 minutes to install em.

MOD #4...

I'm not sure if this qualifies as a mod or not but we purchased a Flush King to improve black and gray water tank clean out. The cost was $34.99 thru the camping world president's club. Our first trip is in May and it will also be the first opportunity to use it. We will keep you posted on how well it works.

MOD #5...

I have never really been a fan of towing mirrors. I don't like putting them on and taking them off every time you go camping. Well, my father-in-law stumbled across a set of Dodge OEM power towing mirrors at work that were going to be thrown out. Brand new, never been installed, still in the manufacturers wrapper. He gave them to me last fall and I finally got around to putting them on. It took a 10mm socket, an extension and a phillips screw driver. Time required: an hour. "Do It Yourself"

MOD #6...

Every year I'm always fumbling around looking for keys. Trailer keys, car keys, wife's keys, etc. So I decided to add some key hooks on the cabinet inside the door so I would always know where my keys are. After a trip to Home Depot for a bag of 7/8" brass key hooks It took about 5 minutes to install them. Tools required: A small punch to start the hole and some elbow grease to screw in the kooks. Now I just have to force myself to hang the keys on the hooks.

MOD #7...

I stumbled across an old towel bar while cleaning up in the basement and thought it would be the perfect addition to our Kiwi's bathroom. I hung a bath towel on it and moved it around the bathroom until I found the perfect spot on the side wall over the toilet. Installation took only a few minutes with a level and a cordless drill. Only thing you have to worry about is using the proper length screw so they don't pop out on the other side of the wall.

MOD #8...

My dad had a cedar coat rack and wanted to get rid of it. I thought it would be a great addition to the wall in the hallway to hang coats or towels or hats. On our last trip I installed it and it came in very handy. Installation took about ten minutes because I had to install wall anchors into the hollow bathroom wall. Tools required: level and a cordless drill. Again make sure you use the proper length screw so they don't pop out on the other side of the wall.

MOD #9...

After your road trip you get all set up and start to enjoy your weekend, when something unexpected comes up like a bee sting, a minor cut or scrape, a headache, or you come down with a cold. So first thing you head for is the medicine cabinet in the bathroom. You are in no mood for games and when you open the cabinet door everything comes flying out and lands in the bathroom sink. Now your really in a bad mood.
To stop this I drilled small holes in the sides of the cabinet located one inch above each shelf. Then I cut some of those metal rods used for holding fiberglass insulation in place between studs to length and stuck them into the holes. This created a barrier to hold everything in place similar to those bars you put in your fridge.

MOD #10...

We have a couple big golf umbrellas we received as promotional gifts so I put them in the trailer for those rainy days. They really come in handy and the kids love em. Well there really isn't a good place to keep them. We tried putting them in the outside storage, in the wardrobe, we even stood them up behind the sofa for awhile. None of these places worked out well and we ended up putting them back in the wardrobe where they would always fall over or out when you opened the door. My solution.... I added a few hooks to the wall in the wardrobe and stretched a small bungee chord between them. Now the umbrellas and a roll of table cloth stay put.

MOD #11...

When towing a trailer over 2000 lbs it is recommended that you have electric brakes. Our Kiwi has them so we had to install a brake controller. After reading many reviews we chose the Tekonsha Prodigy. With the additional OEM wiring harness it's a snap to install. Click here to see my installation.

MOD #12...

The cabinets in the slideout over the couch have smaller storage areas than what appears from the outside. To get some more space up there I added small rubbermaid baskets using a few wood screws. Now we have a little more versatility up there where we can keep flashlights, radio's, extra batteries, etc.

MOD #13...

After quite a few years of breaking out the socket set to drain the hot water tank, I finally put in a CAMCO hot water heater drain valve. Now after each trip I can unscrew the plug by hand to drain the tank. They only cost about $4 bucks and only take a few minutes to install. Use teflon tape when you put it in to protect against leaks.

MOD #14...

The double wardrobe in our kiwi has plenty of space, but is not very organized. So a future mod coming to the wardrobe will be the addition of shelving in one side. That should allow us to hang coats in one and organize our clothes on the shelves in the other.

MOD #15...

The front stabilizers that come on the kiwi are pointed forward and do not do much to stabilize the trailer. Why Jayco did this is beyond me. After doing a little research I have found out that a few other campers out there have turned theirs 90 degrees to come down on the side. This should reduce trailer movement a bit better. So I will soon be doing this mod.
