  PS One more upgrade I forgot if its not already there. AN INVERTER IS A MUST 12 VDC to 120 VAC so if you're dry camping or while driving down the road you have low power 120 VAC for computers and cell phone and camera chargers etc. In addition, you need one of those Cigarette Lighter Adapters that has the standard USB 5 Volt outlet so you can power or charge I Pods and I Phones direct from 12 volts and not have to use 120 VAC. Theres all sorts of small power electronic devices that can use that USB power source GOTTA HAVE ONE LOL

PS All that extra "stuff" and upgrades I've mentioned in these two posts comes after YEARS of experience and a lot of dry camping. I have all those upgrades and couldn't hardly get by without them based on my travel and camping choices and methods, but your camper is yours so do your homework and make your choices....

 I guess its a Class C right??? I don't recall seeing any A's. In my opinion Lazy Daze are the most beautiful Class C's ever made. Id buy one in a heartbeat other then I'm a Chevy man and most were built on Fords. As far as overall "quality" (NOT talkin appearance here) its my own opinion and personal preference I think Born Free are the absolute best quality Class C's ever made, although the Lazy Daze are the best looking ever. POST SOME PICTURES ???

 As far as improvements, if it only has one house battery I would up that to two minimum and even four like I have if you're into extended dry boondock camping like I am. I would advise true deep cycle golf cart batteries NOT semi deep cycle RV/Marine Batteries,,,,,,,,,,,Next suggestion would be to convert the lighting to LED, big energy savers,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,Next I would upgrade the Converter/Charger (if not already) to a state of the art SMART 3 or 4 Stage Charger as that adds big time to battery life,,,,,,,,,,,, Next a water saving shower head,,,,,,,,,,,,,,a China Toilet,,,,,,,,,,,,A water pressure regulator/pressure storage tank as that extends water pump life and stops short cycle on off switch operation and allows for a smooth water flow when its on low,,,,,,,,,,,,,,If not already consider a higher CFM higher pressure demand water pump,,,,,,,,,,,,,For sure some ceiling powered roof vent fans, really helps cooling,,,,,,,,,,,If youre really into extended dry camping you might consider Solar Panels,,,,,,,,,,Likewise extra water storage and holding tanks, I added 80 more gal of fresh water and 40 more holding as we want the capacity to dry camp a week.

 I've spent enough of your money now lol do as you wish and make it your own
