Here are pics of some of my trailer modifications.
I noticed that some folks don't like their couches. I didn't like mine until I added new rotating tables on new cabinets at each end and got rid of the original table. I used sturdy lazy susan rotating hinges. The rear cabinet holds a small garbage can. The tabletops came from Winnebago.
I removed the shelf above the bed and put in two small corner shelves. I couldn't sit up and read with the original shelf. The new shelves are great for phones and/or coffee or whatever.
I installed a 100Ah LiFePo battery inside using the existing wiring and installed a simple shutoff. Two folding chairs are stored at the original battery location. Haven't run out of power yet on numerous camping trips here in the west. I carry an extra 150Ah power station just in case. It charges the whole trailer and runs the microwave. It is not big enough for the AC.
There is now a 200W inverter behind the TV with four USB ports. It supplies power to the TV and other 110V devices when boondocking. It also shows battery voltage.
Not shown is an additional 200W solar panel on the roof and another 200W inverter in the forward lower right pass through. I use this to charge e-bikes. I also changed out nearly all of the original lights to softer, dimmable ones.

Great ideas and well done @Thindirtline ! I completely got rid of my couch as the table would not stay attached and other reasons.

Curious why you moved the bolts on the steps? Does it lower them?
 
I moved the bolts to lower the stairs. The first step from the ground is way too high. This change helps some. I also lowered the first step about 1.5” with some brackets that I made. Too bad Winnebago didn’t provide three steps.
 
Thanks for sharing that step change you made - could you share a pic of the brackets you put in as well? I'm curious on how that came out.

We don't mind the steps as they are but are considering a change because our dog sometimes misses a step trying to get in and out. We've actually considered going to a Lippert solid step 3-step as a full replacement...
 
My trailer is off site but in about a month I pick it up and will take pics. The brackets are each about eight inches long by two inches high and perhaps .090 thick. They have four holes in each end.

Here is a pic of the bracket to lower the lower step. I wanted to move the step further down but it would not have folded up without interference. It moves the step down about an inch and does help.
