I purchased my MPG 183 last January and finally got around to making modifications to it over the course of the last month. I was surprised to find that installing/making many of the modifications was almost as much fun as taking the MPG out camping!
Added 7 LED lights. Put one LED in each of the main dual light fixtures, plus one each over the two single light fixtures over the dinette. When I dry camp I’ll use only the LEDs, when tied to shore power I can have additional lighting by turning on both lights in each dual fixture.
Installed a digital voltage battery monitor (pigtailed off the standard black/gray/fresh/battery monitor).
Changed out all the storage door locks to something other than the ubiquitous 721 key.
Made a stove top cover for extra counter space. Got the idea from one of the R-Pod forums.
Added a paper towel holder for the kitchen.
Installed a 12 volt power receptacle for the kitchen. A great idea I got from Mike (quine9).
Added hooks (for clothes/towels) to the inside bathroom door and to the pantry wall and dinette area.
Installed a battery cut off switch.
Added a shelf to the entertainment center area under the radio/dvd player.
Added two 6 volt golf cart AGM batteries.
Added an inverter (primarily to watch TV from battery power).
Installed a 120 watt solar panel on top of my towing vehicle. With 25 feet of 10 AWG power lines I hope to be able to park the TV in the sun while the MPG stays mostly in the shade. We’ll see how that works.
