  1. Had the same issue with my Diplomat, left the stud and cut around it. Worked OK.
  2. Lowe’s sells a film that mimics stain glass. Installed in between the inner and outer skylights, so nothing to put up or take down. Cast a beautiful light and cuts some of the heat as well.
  3. Is there something in place for water to exit the piping? Blowing rain will enter the intake air. Something like a duckbill valve would work…..
  4. The issue is that the side wall is 1/8” fiberglass with 1/8” Luan plywood bonded to the fiberglass. Not much to work with. In the past I’ve bonded some 3/16 aluminum to the fiberglass using 3M5200. The 5200 takes a few weeks to fully cure, but once cured it isn’t going to come off. Paint the aluminum if so desired and once cured used the appropriate sized self tapers to secure the hardware.
  5. Search for “Oscar Rivets” ie exploding rivets….
  6. If memory serves, when I had a broken spring I was told to measure the diameter of the spring and then count how many rings make up the spring. Go on EBAY and find one with the same diameter and number of rings. The hard part is yet to come to actually get that big sprint hooked back up.
  7. Full timing for 12 years now have had 3 different TPMS systems. All 3 gave me fits with monitoring the toad. Lots and lots of false”loss sensor” alarms. One time had a number of alarms on 3 tires on the toad. Actually had a rear tire come apart and ruined the rim before someone flagged me down. Upgraded the ‘repeaters’ installed it under the rear bumper, got new replacement sensors, good customer service from all 3, but just couldn’t trust them. Decided to purchase the Pressure Pro Pulse system with 12 sensors. Ran the 35’ cable under the coach to attach it in front of the drive wheels. Looped and wire tied the extra cable. Mistake - PP said not to loop the extra cable as it makes the antenna system less effective. They stated to zig zag the extra cable length. Redid it. 2000 miles later, very happy with the system. NO FALSE ALARMS! What really sold me on the system is the ability to see all 4 axles and 12 tires at the same time with both pressures and temperatures. The sensors seem to update about every 60 seconds. I use an old IPhone 5plus with the PPP system, it bluetooths to the pulse system. Stays active all the time. I did have an issue with the fourth axle (toad) that couldn’t adjust the pressures for the alarms. PP engineer got into my account and made some changes on a temp basis. They will incorporate that change in an app update. Here at two shots of my IPhone 1- in the morning and the other in the afternoon.
  8. I think the new 10 button see’s zone 4 board for the bathroom heat, but isn’t comparable with the 10 button thermostat. The hard part is finding where Monaco put the board, there has been some discussions on this subject before. Need to find it and change it out to a new board.
  9. Can’t find the sale info on their site. Can you forward me that email? Thanks, Jeff B justdoingit @ Att.net
  10. There is a product by CRC called Freeze Off. You blast the connection for 20 seconds, wait 2-3 minutes and try to break connection again. This product was suggested by another site and I’ve used it extensively replacing all my rubber lines on the rig. NAPA order the product in for me. Really does work well. The idea is it cools the connection and as it warms back up it lets the penetrant to seep into the connection.
  11. When I researched LVP, it surprised me that in the fine print a number of products stated that is was not to be installed in Motorhomes. Not all LVP is truly water proof (some water resistant). Finally settled on a product from Lumber Liquidators (warm teak). Prepped the floors and glued down 1/4” cork that was sourced by the roll from Home Depot. The LVP was laid as a floating floor. No issues and still happy after 3 years of full time use.
  12. National Admiral CT Has the air circulation throughout the seat. Air suspension, back cycles, heat, adjustable seat length, adjustable bolsters in the seat, swivel, adjustable arm rest, air adjustable lumbar (3 chambers), front cushion tilt adjustment, continuous recline, 8.9” track travel, map pockets, magazine pocket. Purchased 2 years ago from my local truck stop chrome shop, it was about $1,650 with shipping ( they matched on line pricing) 4 weeks lead time, they custom make each one. Couldn’t be happier with the seat.
