  1. The guru for flooring is Ernie Ekberg.

    Join his group and you can see pictures of coaches he has done. He is very forthcoming in answering any questions you have.

    Per Ernie, glued down, engineered hardwood flooring is the way to go.

    I replaced all of my carpeting with hand scraped engineered hardwood flooring. With the hand scraped, you can easily repair any nicks, etc. and it blends in. We glued the flooring down. One thing I learned in doing this is that because of the confined space, it is much easier to back butter each piece rather than spread the glue across the floor.

  2. Don't know if this will solve your problem but  I had a problem on shore power where my chassis batteries were only being charged at @ 12.5v or less. After investigation I found that it was due to a bad temp sensor on my inverter ( I have a Trace RV2012) to the battery. I disconnected the temp sensor. I talked to Xantrex and they do not have a replacement for my unit and they said just leave it disconnected - not needed.

    The valves usually come with the brackets, I just find it easier to reuse the old ones. If you mean the rod between the axle and arm, it depends how good or bad the rubber ends are. Mine are still good but they are inexpensive if needed. I just have a spare set, in case.

    I agree.  The rubber deteriorates over time.  I replaced mine with these - Haldex 48100367.  https://www.napaonline.com/en/p/MBI48100367

    jacwjames, I took this idea (see image) and added my own twist to address the air flow concern.  I took the former jc-refrigeration internal "fin fans" that I had installed in the Norcold 1200 and now have such mounted above the unit in the roof outlet.  The amount of air that these 12 volt fans push is rather amazing!  The infrared temp gun has not seen anything over 129 F. and it was in the high 80s this past weekend.

    I did something similar.  This is what I used.  I added a thermal switch and an on/off switch to the circuit as well.

    I use JG Lubrication, I sent in a Tranny oil sample in on a Monday and had the sample results back by Friday.  If you expedite shipping you could get a quicker turn around.  But you have to get the sample kit from them, which takes ~3 days, I just ordered 3 more kits to keep on the shelf.  ~$35 per sample

    You may check a local service shop and see if they can turn a sample around quicker and/or see who they use for a quick turn around.

    Hi Jim, just one further question.  In looking at the JG Lubricants site, I see they have a Basic, Advanced, and Ultimate Analysis Kit.  Which do you recommend/use ?

    Quick question.  How did you get your transmission sample?
