Our off the menu build items included:
Additional light in bathroom. I fitted a red filter to this for a non-blinding option in the middle of the night.
12V drops in every cabinet, for a variety of things, from cellular booster, cabinet lights, weather station power, etc.
Several additional wires run for aftermarket things like battery monitor, temperature sensors for aftermarket solar controller, and an interior switch wired to turn exterior marker lights on and off.
We substituted a flush mount battery cutoff switch that ETI installed during the build. The stock one is easily flipped accidentally.
We had the solar controller emplaced inside a bench instead of normal mounting as we planned to change it out for a different controller and we didn’t want an incorrectly sized hole that we’d have to deal with.
Two solar panels. Better for winter or partial shade use.
Extra porch lights on front and rear, and amber lens on passenger side light, all wired to an interior switch.
Custom solar port (for portable panel, for when roof solar needs a boost) that allows use of standard shore power cord, removing need for a dedicated solar cable.
2” vents installed in all interior cabinets, to enhance ventilation and reduce chance of moisture buildup and mold/mildew. Cheaper and easy to do this yourself if you have a hole saw. I later found the same vents on Amazon that ETI had used.
Shelves added to closet as we rarely hang things, and if we need to then we do it on...
Umbra hooks. To hang coats.
Additional, low mounted grab handle. For kids. Or dwarves.
Mattress cover, fully wrap around, done in same custom fabric as seat cushions and valances.
Cell booster antenna. I don’t think they do these anymore.
Wi-Fi booster antenna. Also don’t do these any more.
Table legs not fitted. Springfield pedestal installed at orientation.
Extra sewer tubes. Handy for an extra stinky slinky, or a collapsible ladder. Or fishing poles. We have three tubes.
Reinforced walls where we thought we might want to attach things beyond what command strips can handle.
Hope this helps.
Cheers, Scott

SCOTT - this is superb! Where did you source the flush mount battery cut off switch?
