My must have popup camper mods
This mods are ones that I think no popup camper should be without.
Relectix in the windows to hold out the heat or cold.
Popup Gizmos or at lest a emergency space blanket over the bunk ends to keep out the heat or to keep the warmth in.

Space blanket turned to reflect the heat
Or turned to keep the warmth in.
Digital thermostat keeps the temperature more even with less cold time between cycles.
12 volt plug ins to make use of dvd players and other 12 volt appliances.
A door alarm, most popups have flimsy doors that are easy to pry open. This will give you a warning.
Removable shelving gives you way more room to store things in the kitchen.
Bed area organizers give you a ready place to put your wallet, glasses and keys, keeps them off the counter.
And last of all and it is no mod but I don't think any single axle trailer should be without a Bal-Leveller
these really help in off kilter setups, it makes it easy to lift one side and add blocks under the tire.

Securing your awning down
Wind is the worst enemy of your awning, it can rip it right off your trailer. Here are some ideay to help keep it down when the wind picks up and you are away or in bed.
First put it away every day before you leave or go to bed - this is better than not using it at all but what a pain in the butt.
Next add tent stacks or dog tie outs with adjustable flat straps or ratchet straps.
Add weight to help keep the awning down.
anything you can tie your awning too.

Rear cargo rack
Rug storage
Outdoor kitchen shelving

Glow in the dark tape review
I put up a post before showing the glow in the dark tape I added to my steps and step handle, I used Duck Brand Glow in the dark tape.
The tape holds well in the weather but loses it's glow to quick, so if you purchase it be prepared to replace it frequently for best results.
