I have one of those but always leave it at home - never even set it up. Now maybe I’ll give it a try.
I don't carry the huge hammock anymore I bought nylon ones that are made to hang between trees and use instead.
 
This mod is not only cheap, but it's free, as long as you have a small piece of scrap plywood.

In front of my generator, there is an ample amount of space that is screaming for someone to store something in. I took a piece of scrap 3/4" plywood and cut it to fit into that space. There is a square factory support that is perfect for the plywood to mount to, and there is already a factory brace on each side that keeps your stuff from slipping out the side.

Now I can store my cleaning supplies without taking up space in the basement.

When the gen runs, how warm does that side get?
Didn't seem to make any difference at all. I wouldn't have expected it to though, as it's open on the bottom, top and other 3 sides.
 
One more small length of plywood between a couple of braces at the top of the bonnet and now there is a shelf to store more stuff. OK, so it's not beautiful (yet) but it sure opened up a lot of space in the storage basement.

Not a mod, but something that will ease the horrible noise that comes from open/closing these doors.

If you have these between the salon and the bedroom, then you've probably found they can be pretty noisy to open/close. Especially on some of our older coaches. Silicone is NOT the answer, it only drips down on the floor and makes a slippery mess. Instead, take a candle and rub it around so that wax gets in the grove, on the rollers, and especially the metal brackets that the pin snaps into that holds the doors open/closed.

Run the doors back and forth a few times and you'll find they operate smoother and quieter. Or as my redneck friend used to say, "much more better. . . " ;)
