2025 modifications

Happy New Year! 🎉

As we begin 2026, let’s look back at 2025, as is my tradition on this blog.

I will have a series of blog posts reviewing topics from last year. I typically schedule my posts following a pattern: Modification Mondays, Travel Tuesdays, Whereabouts Wednesdays, and To and Fro Thursdays and Fridays (okay, those last ones are bit of a stretch). So I will post my annual summaries in that order too (though not on those days), starting with modifications today.

We have done a number of modifications to our 2017 Tiffin Allegro Bus 40SP motorhome, to make it more comfortable as a full-time home, to improve the features, or to repair issues. This is a summary of some of the changes done in 2025; also check out the changes from 2024, 2023, 2022, and 2021.

You can also see all of these summary posts together via the Modifications Summary tag, with the earliest posts at the top, or the latest posts at the top.

For each modification topic I include a link to the corresponding blog post, and a sample picture; see the post for details. (Tip: you can click or tap on either the link or picture to go to the corresponding post.)
