I took some pictures of my little modifications.... Nothing big, but I added a mirror to the front that I got at an automotive store for about 3 bucks (It's really designed to go on the back of the visor on the car...)and attached it with velcro, and I velcroed on a little alarm clock, and made some luggage restraints using belt strapping/webbing from a fabric store and iron on velcro. (You have to be a little careful with the strapping.. First you melt the ends over a flame, so the strapping doesn't fray, then you attach the velcro using a hot iron. Too much ironing means the webbing melts also and you end up with a useless mess; too little ironing and the velcro doesn't stick to the webbing, so, like Goldilocks, everything has to be just right...

) I have a folding shoe-rack frame below the big shelf, and there is room for two shallower plastic tubs on there, plus 4 large and one narrow plastic tub across the bottom. Plenty of room for clothes, dehumidifier, heater, bag, jackets, shoes, fire extinguisher, books, etc. I took the pictures when the Sweet Potato was in the garage, so not very good pictures, I'm afraid. I also bought a map of the great state of Texas and a map of the great country of the USA from an educational supply store. They are designed for junior high school kids, so are durable and laminated and about the size of placemats or a legal size paper. I attached them using black electricians tape, so it looks a bit like they are in frames. Other mods you can't see - I added hooks for both the curtain rod and to hang a hat or jacket, velcroed on two lovely small stainless steel containers, originally designed for kitchen sink storage - but the perfect size for glasses, cell phone, Kleenex- on each side in the back by the pillows, and I put privacy window film on both the doors. That way we get light, but don't provide a peep show for people walking by the trailer at night. I could have used curtains on the doors, but it seemed like they would get in the way of the screen door, and we have plenty of view and light without them.
We are heading out to Goose Island state park next month, and will take some pictures of the Sweet Potato in action to post.
