Slowly doing up the interior and touching up the exterior.

Desperately need to change/upgrade the headlights.
New casing and LED’s for sure. Any good recommendations?

I bought headlights for my 1999 Roadtrek 190 Popular off of Amazon. I think someone on the Facebook group for older Roadtreks may have posted the link for the ones I got. I didn't want to get LED's. The brightness is great for the driver but not for people driving towards you. I hate getting blinded and didn't want to do that to others. I recently read that they are actually harmful to other drivers. The headlights I bought came with the casing but I used the original casing and just installed the headlights. Made it easier for me.

Thanks for the reply.
Been browsing rockauto.com
Totally agree on blinding with the LED’s.

Let me know what you end up getting. New headlights are on my to-do list. My existing ones are really cloudy and no amount of 3000 grit sanding has cleared them.

My wife and I did three additions to our PW Lexor TS:
!) Mounted a paper towel holder from bottom of cabinets. Make sure you get one that doesn't want to unroll by itself.
2) In counter soap dispensers by kitchen and bathroom sinks so we don't have to worry about soap flying around or laying in a wet sink.
3) Definitely the best; a bidet toilet seat. Easy to install with Skarkbite, or equivalent fittings. The water is cold but it's better than trying to figure out how to deal with toilet paper, especially when it's humid. I sometimes consider running hot water instead of the cold.LOL

We also removed the TV. Between laptop and iPad we have all the contact with the outside world while traveling we need.

May I ask which paper towel holder you went with?

I made the mistake of not buying OEM and the ones I got leaked from day one. I'm going to replace mine soon. 08 Chevy Express chassis

We have gotten a lot of storage and aftermarket ideas looking through the interior photos of the model you own (Travato 59K for us) at the rvt.com or RVtrader.com websites.
Suggest private sellers vs dealers, since dealers may remove most of the add-ons.
