If you mean since SMB finished it:

1- Scangauge, no doubt about it, the best mod I've done.

2- Side steps (so the wife can get in) that fold up

3- Covers for the front door windows.

4- Remote thermometer to check temp in frig and outside

5- LED lights inside

6- Rear ladder

7- Rear step bumper

8- Salem-Kroger 4wd

9- T-F 46 gallon tank

10- Kyocera 130W Solar Panel

If you mean from the first time I thought of a Sportsmobile:

SMB would not do these if I didn't ask for them

1- Penthouse

2- Scangauge

3- 12V Refrig (I never want to have another propane refrig)

4- Stove - for morning coffee if nothing else

5- Furnace and propane for 4 and 5

6- 20G water tank

7- PortaPotti

8- Dinette/Bed

9- 2nd Aux battery. 2 have same capacity as 4D, but easier to find and can be handled by humans

10- Custom non-skid vinyl flooring
