New kitchen Drawers
The drawers in the kitchen were kinda short 14" long and it seems when ever I worked in the kitchen I would catch my pocket on the Knobs. I noticed on the 2013 up Northstars new style drawers with push/pull Knobs, So I ordered 2 new Drawers which are 20" long, a little difference in wood color. Best to check how deep your cabinets are before you upgrade. I can now store more stuff.
see pics.

Your right, It appears that maybe NADA needs to update their pricing to suit the real market. I guess they think some unit 13 years old is not worth much?? Where can you/we find a used purchase truck pop-up camper prices??
NADA RV does not give you a "what is my RV worth" but rather an actual value by NADA wholesale and NADA retail recorded from transactions across the US. Values can vary due to location but the industry average of prices for used RV trade-ins and retail RV values
However so long as you enjoy yours=great.

Water hose storage
Found a place to store my water hose. Under the rear dinette seat above the LP compartment. Remove the rear seat plywood screws and add hinges the plywood. I Installed plywood on top of the metal LP compartment. see pics

Under bed storage Mod
It seem when I store small items under the cabover bed area, that when I need to use that item , it slid all the way to the front of the storage area. So I made some cheap adjustable compartment separators,
easy mod=
Problem solved.

Out with the Mag-lights
My 2D cell Mag-lights just got to big and heavy, so I switch to the 5” lightweight LED Cree 3 AAA battery type.
And found a nice place in my TC next to the door making it east to grab them at night.
I used large fishing rod holders to mount them. See pics

Save roof liner.
If you have HELCO wind-up roof. You may start or have pin holes in the corners of the canvas roof liner. I noted the Hex bolts may rub on the roof liner when in the Down position while traveling. (See Pic).
I ordered 9/16” Hex plastic caps from Pro-Dec.com, about 35cents each. Just press on, seem to resolve issue. See Pics.

Thanks for the tip Brian. I'm heading for a short excursion tomorrow and will check if these bolts present a problem in my rig.

Brian,
To my dismay, my 2013 TC850 drawers are also very shallow even thought there's plenty of space available for longer drawers. Are the 20" drawers you ordered stock from Northstar?
I'm getting more and more frustrated by the manufacturer's failure to efficiently utilize all available space.
Thankfully mine didn't come with the 3-burner range, which is overkill for a small rig. Even with the 2-burner range, I plan to build a raised cutting board to place over it when not in use. Maybe it's just me but I need the more space for veggie chopping than I need for cooking. It doesn't look like your rig leaves any space for that.
Regards,
Mike
