I have listed some of the additional upgrades we have done to Footloose below. We fully intended to make this our permanent residence and added anything that we felt would make it more usable, efficient or comfortable:

• Queen Size Comfortair Air bed with dual controls.

• 12 VDC Electric bedwarmer for those cool nights when we were boondocking

• Deluxe control panel for the 2KW Stat Power Inverter ( mounted the control panel originally supplied with the inverter beside the bed so it can be shut down at night without having to go forward)

• Dual water Pumps (1) 12 VDC and (1) 120 VAC that can be remotely controlled from front control panel.

• High Current battery cross connect so that house batteries can be used to start in the event engine batteries are low

• Replaced the original MCI drivers "pass thru" side window with Pennensula Sliding window

• Complete set of solar sun screens for front of coach.

• Complete set of vinyl tire covers for tires.

• We replaced the rear roof AC with new Duo-Therm Penguin with heat strip and added heat strip to one front AC.

• Beam Central Vacuum System installed under kitchen sink.

• We replaced ALL of the original window shades with cellular blinds which have higher R-value (around $800)

• Remotely controlled Auxiliary Pancake air compressor to air up bus without running engine.

• Installed Hot Rod element in Gas water heater to use when on AC power.

• Installed Hydra caps on the Trojan L-16 housed batteries to reduce water use.

• Installed remote control on Rear AC to allow bedside control

• High Intensity LED reading lamps at bed.

• We covered the roof with highly heat reflective Petro-Coat siliconized paint to reduce heat gain.

• Installed computerized E-Meter on house battery system and hour meter on generator.

• Much much more that I have probably forgotten about.
