No modifications yet but I have been looking today to move the leisure battery and add a second one.

I wanted those heavy batteries up front together and found with a little move around I can sit them side by side.
Picked up some short made up cables from Halfords this afternoon and linked it all up OK, copied Grant's worktop extension with folding bracket as it looks better than mine, anyway replaced the carpet and cleaned up
so its almost good to go again now

Weight distribution is the main reason for moving it plus it will generate valuable cupboard space.

Today I bonded an awning rail to the roof at the rear to fix the awning too.

I removed those courtesy curtains as we'd never once used them, but it left some screw holes in ceiling, so I mirrored the LED backlighting behind table with a softer light on ceiling,
a thin strip of similar ash finish ply, route'd a shallow groove to drop the LED into and sealed it all to ceiling,
switch added to a spare blanking plate alongside the lighting & pump switches
(I had another matching rocker switch from somewhere)...

After being inspired by Que's Tonneau cover removal modification, I've copied his idea
This means that I can now remove the cover entirely so the my camper can push right up the inside rear of the tub.
My budding engineering son set to with a specification & I just left him to it (makes a refreshing change !!!)
He cut the side rails, then he milled two pieces of aluminium to the inside dims of the rail.
Drilled & tapped 2 M4 holes in each piece which now connect the 2 pieces of rail back together & are locked off with Stainless Steel bolts & wing nuts.
So here's the end result
