Subjective Mod Question

Most mods I have done are for convenience not necessity. I did bolster the black tank drain, but it hadn't been a problem. I did have an issue with the cross bracket supports for the holding tanks and the sheet metal screws coming loose, I recall fixing that first. I bolted my brackets to the frame. The rest, shelves, wiring, volt gauges, usb ports, generator rack, battery switch, door window, fan cover, slide cover, back-up lights, led bulbs, d rated tires, outside shower, all that was for my convenience.

What mods have to be done?  None.  Camp with it and decide what you want to change for your camping pleasure.  Then mod accordingly.

I really appreciate all the replies. Like I said, I’m sure I can go buy my pod right off the lot and have fun :) I guess I’m just over preparing. Happy to be in this community, and loving this website.

I completely support getting tires immediately. Which tires, thats debatable. I chose Carlisle Radial trail load range D tires. Some prefer goodyear endurance, I don't personally like goodyear from some bad tires several years back. The drain pipe problem is real, depending on model. On a 172 and one other model, the black and grey pipe help support each other, and are almost exempt from this issue. If you have the single pipe for each, I would reinforce it. Simply adding a slightly thicker piece of strapping would be strong enough to solve this. I can't understand WHY forest river wouldn't make this 20 cent fix. I personally made 4 mods immediately upon getting my pod. First as I said was tires.  Second I recommend a progressive EMSHW30C Surge protector, about 250 bucks, dont buy cheap surge only units, get EMS.  Third I put an rvlock keyless entry doorlock. I hate carrying keys especially if i'm going to the beach, or pool, also if my daughter gets there at a different time than us, she can get right in, no " meet me here at 7:00 " nonsense. Fourth, I put a vent cover on, I always leave my vent open, and usually the fan on. I don't want to worry about if it rains, or forgetting to close it before going down the highway.  Along with keyless door lock, i did replace the outside storage door locks as well. From the supplied locks, that every single person in the campground has the same key to, (ch751 i think) to the combi-cam keyless combination locks. If I find a keyless hitch pin, thats next.
