I sprayed the inside bottom of the tent with permethrin.  I've used this stuff for years on hiking clothes and it does a good job of not just repelling bugs but killing them.  Lasts a couple of months. 

I put some velcro strips on the back of the backsplash and on the back of a power strip I picked up, that also has usb outlets.  much handier than the bottom plug.  We never use the sink, anyway.

I made some pvc spreader bars.  I didn't like the amount of sag in the tent, particularly at the door if it was rolled up.  Helps a little, and was all off the shelf stuff from Lowes.  $25 bucks.  I may try to put a wooden strip inside it to stiffen it up, and sew up something with pockets to hang light stuff.  I also may trip the ends a bit.  It's not a perfect fit due to the compound bow of the bimini bar.
