Replacing the converter. I had a number of odd problems electrically with mine, such as the fluorescent light always flickering, that I didn't realize weren't normal. When the converter really started to go, moving the captains chair would cause the radio to shut off from low voltage, and things like that.
It's not like it was a fun upgrade - after I was done everything was working correctly, which was good, but not very entertaining. But it was one of the most useful.
More fun was upgrading the radio and rewiring it to the coach system so I could use it all the time when camping.

If yours doesn't have a fantastic fan vent.
This is the best $70 I've spent in a while

Getting rid of the $29.00 Dual, Walmart stereo, will be the fun upgrade for me and after finding that the 4 year old coach battery was about due for replacement I decided upgrading my Converter is the next project then new battery.

I have what the previous owner call a "fantastic fan" looks like an older fan, I crank the lid up a little and it comes on and has a couple of different speeds...

Fantastic Vent is one of the two manufacturers of RV fans, and the other is Maxxair. I hadn't heard of the one 190-b-651 posted before, though.

I thought about the fantastic fan but after looking at both this one is a easy installation it doesn't replace the vent just the vent screen. Its designed to take the place of the cheaper vent with the small fan. It works well in or out not noisy it just doesn't have the thermostat control.

Adding a rear anti sway bar and going oversize on the front sway bar. Such a huge improvement in handling!
Contenders...
Maxxfan Deluxe... ventilation even in the rain.
Solar... for quiet off grid battery charging.
Backup camera...
Ability to disconnect the shorepower cord from the camper and store it where I want...
Swapping out for LEDs for all the interior & porch lights... reduces battery drain.
