My Bighorn enhancements (Mod's)

Been working on the rig since delivery date of Feb 28. I've attached some photo's of the improvements that i made. Perhaps a little extreme. :confused:

1. Docking station access hole looking from the bottom up. Covered the exposed edge with wire loom so as to not cut my hand when routing water / cable/ phone connections.

2. Battery cut off switch. No explanation needed.

3. Docking station closeout edge. Covered the vertical edge with same diameter wire loom and removed soap dispenser. Now have addtl room for making necessary connections without scraping my arms.

4. Dump valve identification.

5 & 6. Entertainment Cntr. Built 16x16 stand so that CD / DVD player is positioned so that I can see it with the cabinet door closed. Also better line of sight for the remote control when operating. Painted it black to match the player.

7 & 8. Front landing gear legs. Installed eye bolts for easy retracting. Actually utilized bed stake pocket tie downs Perfect fit with zero investment. :D

9. Service panel switch identification labels. I know a little extreme but will help others who may enter the trailer and need to turn on a light.

I am done for now and will start to enjoy the rig without re-engineering it. ;)

Gary,

Cool mods! I too plan to take the labler to the Landmark and add a few labels in my control center (electrics/hydraulics/RF etc) as I have 1 or 2 unmarked items.

As Jeff mentioned in a post yesterday, I got lucky and Rotochok sent me landing gear post handles. I'll take a pic of them when I get back to the trailer and I'll post some ordering info. when I contact Rotochok about them. They included them as a gift with the pair of Rotochoks I had my dealer supply.

The Landmark has a battery cut-off switch but I may have to add some battery charge control to my converter. Still researching that one.

Thanks a ton for sharing your mods and pics of them with the forum. Happy camping!

Jim
