Motorhome Tour - Improvements and Alterations to the Motorhome

 

This is an incomplete list of the changes and alterations we have made to Hobohome (the motorhome)- most of this was done not because there was anything wrong with the motorhome - but to fit our lifestyle or to make the motorhome more comfortable for the two of us (it was set-up for a family of 4 when we bought it).
