Travel Trailer Upgrades You Need to Make
Your travel trailer is great already, but there are a few things you can upgrade to add to your experience. Some changes are more exciting than others, but whether you’re adding interior details or improving your tow experience, adding to your travel trailer is a fun aspect of ownership!
Replace the Original Batteries with Lithium Batteries
Of course, the standard battery in your travel trailer will get the job done, but switching to lithium batteries can be a big improvement.
Lithium batteries have a longer lifespan, require less frequent maintenance, can handle heavier loads of power, and are generally more lightweight! All of these features can benefit your travel experience. You’ll save money in the long run and have the flexibility to pack more supplies.
Upgrade the Suspension
The suspension system has a major impact on how well your travel trailer tows. Upgrading the suspension will create a smoother towing experience, reduce wear on the tow vehicle, and increase the trailer’s weight capacity.
This upgrade is often overlooked, but if you anticipate traveling often or for long distances, improving your suspension system might be a priority.
Improve Your Roof Seals
A common maintenance concern for travel trailer owners is a leaky roof. Especially if your model has slide outs, it can be useful to reseal or add additional sealant to your roof!
All you need to do is purchase the right sealant product and add an extra layer over the existing seals. If your roof needs to be completely resealed, you may need to remove the original sealant.
Improving your roof seals early on can prevent damage and expensive repairs later on.
Invest in an Indoor/Outdoor Weather Station
One of the most important aspects of traveling with your travel trailer is keeping the internal temperature and air quality comfortable. Adding a high-quality indoor/outdoor thermometer can help you monitor the temperature and how it's affecting the interior of your camper.
This is an important investment because the humidity and temperature can have an impact on the moisture inside your travel trailer, which can cause condensation and mold. Keeping a close eye on outdoor temperatures will help you adjust your heater and air conditioner accordingly.
Under Cabinet Lighting and Storage Lighting
Many people will switch their lighting to LED bulbs, but a great way to customize and improve your lighting even more is to add storage lighting and under-cabinet accents. Many travel trailers can feel dark, so adding puck lights or LED strips underneath kitchen cabinets, in cabinets, and in storage compartments can be extremely helpful. It can also make your interior feel more luxurious!
