As I have completed many changes to my current Serenity, I will be upgrading more slowly. But, the sound system will get some changes....possibly using Polk Audio bookshelf speakers installed facing reward into cutouts in the upper storage over the recliners. This involves moving the current Clarion head unit to over the DVD Player, possibly upgrading this to a much better unit, eliminating the subwoofer as the bookshelf speakers would have sufficient bass.

The television will receive a sound bar below it.

One of the recliners can easily be moved into the center aisle and faced forward when a serious listening event is planned and I suspect the quality would be substantially improved over the bizarre down facing current speakers..... In fact, the open hole would be fabric covered and allow the bass port on the new speakers to function.

Installation of the new speakers would require an attachment to the actual rib structure of the AS, this to prevent too much weight in the overhead compartment.

Also, some Ham Radio Gear will be worked into the over all plan, possibly eliminating the road side recliner in favor of a bench seat with storage underneath. Outside....big antenna....

And then......

My wish list for my 2015 BAMBI 16' SPORT:

Leather recliner to replace front dinette table. I believe it can happen...maybe next spring?

Memory foam 4-5" mattress on top of current factory mattress...maybe in spring?

Honda generator...(for boondocking). $$$. Also, a place to transport it. (Not in the SUV!)

The ability to travel and camp....MUCH MORE FREQUENTLY!


Improbable, but, dream list: more functional storage space.

Awaken one morning to find myself 20 years younger!! LOL! Evelyn.

P.S. (I did say, "improbable!")

@ColoradoLady

I have a four inch feather bed on my OEM mattress and it really is a dream to sleep on. Comfortable enough that I decided to forgo the installation of a Select Comfort mattress as I had on my moho.

Ms too, thanks for the suggestion. I've had feather bed tops on my home bed, but, tired of the need to re fluff them every other day. Just did not work for me. I found it needed to be removed in summer...too hot for my nightly flashes! LOL. Evelyn.

You may regret losing these two items. Our previous trailer did not have the mouse fur or padded ceiling. It was loud and sterile inside the trailer. The mouse fur and padded ceiling add a certain element of insulation and sound dampening.

You got it. It's all about the "strategically located" part. I kind of thought "Kansas, Vermont, Montana, California, and maybe South Carolina, with all close to the Interstate. Pat

One more...

Oh, yes, a new Honda EM5000S Generator with remote start.....having air-conditioning and espresso, microwave all at the same time can be important. And remote start for those days we just do not want to go outside early in the AM.

A special surround can be fabricated to really make it quiet as well.
