Here are a few mods I recently made to our Jayflight 28BHS:
1. I knew that the plumbing for our outdoor shower was exposed in the rear storage compartment, but the gravity of this matter came to light when I slid our folding table into the storage area which pushed a basketball into the pipes for the outdoor shower and caused a shower inside the storage compartment. Fortunately, it was just a pipe that popped off a connection and it was an easy fix. This is what it looked like before:
To correct this design defect, I built a cage around it to prevent any future damage:
2. We also didn't have enough private room in the bath area to be able to change after a shower, so I added this privacy curtain:
It seals with velcro on both sides when the curtain is closed:
3. Our last trailer had almost no countertop space. We love the countertop space on our new trailer, but it still isn't enough, so I suspended this wire shelf from the cabinets so we can keep more of the countertop clear:

I have been wanting to do a gray tank add-on mod since I bought our TT last year. Our upcoming vacation finally got me going on it. The existing gray tank was always to small, especially for 4 of us and 2 being female. I found a tank on E-Bay that would work. Bought some angle iron from the local metal supply store and went at it. Below is the before image, the only place I had to put a large enough tank to make it worth it was between the axles, the cheap tank on E-Bay fit perfect.
Below is the after image from the rear looking towards the old tank. The axle was slightly in the way for a straight run of the pipe to connect to the existing pipe, so I played it safe and put in a flexible hose section at that point so there would not be any extra stress on the hard plastic pipe at the point.
The Original tank claimed to be 36 gal but only held about 27, and I added 36 more. Tonight I did a test with 5 gallon buckets and the 2 held 62 gallons, that should help. I still need to add a vent hose. The guy at a local RV repair shop suggested I just run a little hose up into the wheel well, as long as it is higher then the tank. Right now it just has a vent hole drilled at the top edge.
My costs were:
$104 Tank $45 + 59 shipping
$33 Angle Iron
$18 plumbing parts
$155 Total

i wanted a way to heat our TT without having to use gas if possible and i love the fireplace setting............so, i purchaced the smallest arrowflame with 2 heat settings and realistick flame just plugs into outlet and is under the ampridge........i removed the door and shelf that i was not using and framed up around it.......also made a cutout as to get to all wiring and fabricated a speaker grill held in place with velcro.......this was done on a jayco 29n.....it also has a remote for heating and i can set flame hieght (low to high).....this is a 24'' fireplace insert, so would work in any area opening.....one more thing........i built the TV shelf to house the home theater and the 27'' sharp on it.....so i killed 2 birds with 1 stone......electric heat and the joy of just looking at a fireplace setting.....we even use it in the summer without the heat on.......sorry on the blurry photos...had wrong setting on cam at the time
