1. Replace the Batteries
Swapping out the standard travel trailer batteries for lithium batteries is a wise move for a few reasons.
First, lithium batteries last longer, which will save you money on parts replacement.
Second, they have a lighter weight and increased capacity to handle heavy loads, which allows you to pack your RV with more items.
Third, they are easier to maintain, which saves you time that can be better spent on an RV trip!
2. Replace the Suspension
Upgrading a travel trailer’s suspension will come with many perks.
First, the towing experience will be smoother and less stressful.
Second, there will be less strain placed on the tow vehicle.
Third, the travel trailer will have a higher weight capacity. Bring along those extra items that aren’t essential, but do improve the comfort at the campground.
3. Get Wheel Stabilizers
When people move about inside a parked travel trailer, it can cause the RV to shift about. All of your hard work getting the RV level can be quickly undone, leading to a less-than-ideal experience inside the camper.
That’s where wheel stabilizers enter the picture. These keep the travel trailer secure and in place throughout the vacation. Options range from X-Chocks to automatic stabilizing jacks that are operated by a smartphone.
4. Add Roof Seals
A leaky roof can lead to an expensive repair upwards of thousands of dollars! A simple prevention step is to add some extra sealant over the original roof seals. This leads to a more effective, and longer lasting, roof seal.
5. Install a Digital Thermostat
Not all travel trailers come with a thermostat. Models that do often use an old-fashioned design that includes a manual slider. By installing a digital thermostat, you can control your camper’s temperature with a simple press of a button.
6. Add a Stick-On Backsplash
A little aesthetic customizations can help the travel trailer feel even more like home. A stick-on backsplash is a non-permanent way to personalize the RV’s interior. Install a backsplash anywhere, from the kitchen to the bathroom, for a splash of color.
