Yeah, and an idea of cost? It's a fairly cheap option if you order a new trailer but I bet it would be almost twice that to change them after....................
---------------------
Not to fairly cheap. It ran me $1250 adder back in 2007. Don't know what it is now...
but they do make a big difference...
1250 isn't too bad compared to the 1500 he paid above for only 4 windows. How many do you have in your trailer? We have 9 in ours, so like $3000 as retrofits I'm guessing?

After spending too much time looking at all these mods I thought I would add a few of my own.
There is a lot of discussion on closets next to the bed. I got two of these from Bed, Bath and Beyond.
They are a tight fit in the closets and give us 2 small drawers and 2 small shelves, and we can still hang things.

I modified a spark plug socket so I could run the stabilizers up and down with a cordless drill.
And I modified the cabinet below the television:
by changing it to a fireplace.
The best thing is it heats the trailer using park electricity instead of my propane. It looks good, too.

Great mod. What is the current draw of the FP (Watts/Amps)? Who sells the FP?

Thanks all for the compliments on the fireplace.
I bought a Black Friday special at K-mart for $80 that included the mantle, then just created an opening for the insert. There is a name on the insert, but I don't remember it.
It is a 1300 watt heater, nicely heats our trailer.

Here a few simple mods I did in our Keystone Bullet.
Toilet paper and hand towel racks:
Oxygenics shower head:
Windshield reflector cut to fit the vents. These stick on with velcro tabs:
A place to hang our keys.....out of the way:
I added a shelf to the wardrobes on each side of the bed:
And finally, I found dead space under one of the dinette seats. This is where the water heater is at. The seat board was screwed down, so I cut it in half and framed across the center. Maybe I should add a door or drawer to the front.

Good job finding that extra storage area.
Looks like that key hanger is held on by velcro? That come as one pice or did you buy the pieces and make the board, that's a good idea. I usually put my keys, wallet etc ontop of the window shade valance things, but sometimes not, then the search begins...
