Modifications made to a 2007 Phaeton

Our coach of choice is a 2007 Phaeton.  The price was reasonable, the miles low and wow did I love the maple cabinets.  We did decide to do a few modifications to make it more "ours".  We recarpeted the entire coach, removed the furniture and replaced the living area with two Euro Recliners and ottomans.  We traded the small dining chairs with full size dining chairs that surprisingly matched the valances.  
 New larger TV with Sound Bar for those great action movies.
 The mirrored wardrobe doors were removed and two cedar lined closets were created with additional drawers in the middle.  A ceiling fan and a new sleepnumber bed was added.  

A new cabinet was installed in the toilet area.

In addition to the cosmetic modifications, we have added solar panels to the roof, upgraded the satellite system and added a basement freezer on a sliding base.  We are looking at a cell phone booster & tire monitoring system.  Next and right before we hit the road are new tires.  It takes a awhile to get all this stuff done and I'm sure we'll make more changes once we are in there full time and traveling down the road.

Counting Down!



We are counting down to the last day of work for us.  After January, we will be footloose and fancy free.  Sold the house, check.  Bought the coach to live in as full-timers, check.  Bought the four wheel drive flat towable toad, check.  Make the modifications to make the coach truly liveable, almost check.

The great adventure starts in March, 2013.  Can't wait.  Follow along as we make modifications, plans and probably change things up as we set off to the full-time RV lifestyle.
