As it came, our Elkmont 24's feature list and layout was just about perfect.
But we did:
Add lot's of those hooks in the bath and bedroom area.
Added a couple of interior shelves, one in a kitchen above-sink cupboard, one in a bath cupboard.

For boondocking:
Improve the plumbing by adding a 2gal pressure tank and soft hose to the pump.
Improved the furnace air flow.
Replaced a lot of lights with LED's.
Replaced the battery with 2 6V golf-cart types.
All these have been described in other posts in this section.

I've avoided adding anything more to the tongue because we have too much tongue weight as it is for our half-ton pickup.

Brulaz,

I hear you on the tongue weight. When I decided to add the Contico storage box, I took into account the fact that what I store in there gets used for towing in any case, and the storage box is virtually empty when I tow. The box itself weighs about 12 lbs. The only thing in the box while towing is the caster attachment for the tongue jack, the pry bar to load the WDH springs, and a couple of 2"X6" blocks that normally go under the tongue jack when parked. I also keep the front outside-accessible storage area pretty lightly packed: two 25 ft potable water hoses; a fold-up chair; an extension cord; our family camping sign; and the crank handle and tensioning rod for the awning.

We use the under-bed storage as well, but try to keep that packed toward the middle of the trailer.
