What change would you make?

If you could make ONE realistic change to your camper, what would it be and why?  Please just post ONE change.
 
I would love to have see through windows in the bunkends.  They would allow you to see out when the weather causes you to keep the bunkend windows zippered closed.:)

The one thing that really bothers me about our 2008 Flagstaff 625D is the drain system.  It has a drain on road side by the sink and another on the curb side for the shower.  This means two grey water tanks, or one tank and run the other to sewer hookup if available.  My next project for the PUP is to run a pipe under it to connect the two drains.

One word of caution.  It your grey water tank fills up and you are running water down the sink drain it will come up the shower drain.  Don't ask me how I know.:o

A full exterior "make-over" Then it would be perfect :) .

I would have Reflectix-like material (aluminized bubble plastic) built into the roof tenting material.  I've been thinking about it for years, posted the idea to numerouls questions like this, and can't understand why no manufacturer has it, at least as an option.  Imagine not having to think about, attach, store, or fiddle with Pop-up Gizmo's covers or homemade bunk covers again. Not that I want to put him out of business, but a built-in "cover" would be very convenient.

I'd probably make a bigger grey water tank, or a bigger water heater for longer showers.

Without a doubt, I would make the stabilizing jacks burley enough to level the camper.

I would make the under dinette storage accessible from outside.  Would make packing much easier.

We have an 88 Coleman Plantation with a shower and toilet. Each has a thick wooden cover that goes over them. I have to remove the and put them somewhere if we want to use either one. My change would be that they be hinged to just fold up while popped up giving us a hard wall and eliminating the need to keep moving them.

For those that are thinking that I put the hinges on myself, I have looked at it and the way that it's designed doesn't make it possible. Maybe when I have time I can design new covers myself that will do the trick.

My 1999 Coleman does have a hinged panel over the shower/cassette potty and it is a nice feature.  A friend of mine has a Palomino that has the wooden cover that she has to move when they set up the shower/cassette potty.  It is a pain.:)

Oh, but I don't move it anymore....I left that heavy sucker at home.  What a pain to remove and find a place to store it.

We had one of those, removed it the 1st yr we had the camper.

I'd change the stove...well not change it, but remove it and have a solid counter and an extra drawer. If we ever wanrted to cook inside I could bring in the  small coleman stove I don't like.

We chose a very simple pop-up (Jayco J/trax), but I miss the sink we used to have.  If I could have a sink, I would like to have an outside sink that could be accesed thru an outdoor door and pulled into place like a slide out.  It would use a a tank under the camper for water storage or connect to city water.  It would have a demand pump for using the water storage.  The drain would go into a grey water tank under the camper or into a park sewage drain.  It would be nice to have hot water, but not necessary.  This would help with hand washing, dish washing, brushing teeth, etc, but would not take up inside space nor make a mess with water inside.  The case where the slide out sink would be stored could be the size of the porta-potty cabnet inside.

Maybe a built-in cassette potty.

I would like to have an oven in the pop-up, especially when camping and cooking during Holiday weekends and cooking Easter and Thanksgiving dinners.
