I believe so, yes. Thinking back I was just leaving the REV Group facility when I noticed a small crack in the windshield but it was a Friday afternoon & we needed to be in Florence that day. I had been there for 3 nights & had a weeks reservation in Florence. I guess I could have had it replaced at Coach Glass if I was willing to spend the weekend until Monday when I could go see about a replacement. I plead guilty to wanting to be on the coast rather than in the Coburg heat.

I'm sorry......my computer doesn't spell so good at times. It is a "Coach Glass" windshield. They are up the street from the REV Group facility in Coburg, OR.

There were a couple of filled chip spots in the windshield when I bought this MH. I thought that could be the cause of the large crack but it doesn't run through either of them. I was thinking that there might have been an impact point that wasn't readily visible. I think the windshield had been previously replaced because it is marked "Coast Glass".

My windshield cracked while I was on my summer OR-WA trip. I didn't see a crack until about 10 days after I stayed in a park that had angled speed bumps. I can't imagine a park installing speed bumps in this manner knowing the possible damage that might occur crossing over these speed bumps. Yesterday I called Nationwide to arrange to have it replaced. They arranged have to Duncan systems who works with local glass shops around the country to do the install. I was told that Safelite refers those of us with MH's to Duncan. It will be a few weeks before Santa delivers my windshield so I will have it replaced when I return from Pismo Beach in a few weeks. Nationwide's glass replacement coverage has a $100 deductible. I can do this!

Wayne....did you have these installed at Source Engineering in Eugene? Also, was the cost mentioned an installed cost or plus installation? I am planning to upgrade my shocks as the ride in our Camelot should be better.

Toyo tires are used commonly on heavy trucks traveling our highways. I used to buy these when I was running heavy trucks in my previous life because I liked that they were a good mid range tire & that they were made in America. My understanding was that they were made in a joint facility with Bridgestone & Firestone. I Most all of my friends are running Toyo's on their MH's. These tires are reasonably priced for us because they wear well & provide a comfortable ride. We will never wear out the tread on our tires so why pay up for the Michelin's? It is reasonable for some of us to choose the higher priced Michelin tires if that what we like but for me I am please with my Toyo's.

If you call the Rev Group they should be able to tell you what shades you have in your HR. I went through this a few months ago & they confirmed that mine was a MCD shade system.

I had this same issue with my day shade, push the button & it would jump an inch or so in either direction. Sought assistance from the "master rv tech" at the shop where I store my coach but he told me that they couldn't figure out how to take the shade roller down to check the motor. I was recently at the Rev Group facility in Coburg so I had them check it. The head tech told me that getting the roller out was a real challenge....he said that they way it was designed & installed "it wasn't intended to be removed"! He did get the job done though. They replaced the motor & it works fine now.

I chose to replace the step assembly rather than just the motor. Not knowing how old the steps were this seemed to be the prudent choice.

Shade Pro said they had my pattern for my '09 Camelot so I ordered one but it was not the correct pattern, it was for a prior year's Camelot. If I can get down to Indio I will try to hook up with their pattern designer. If anyone knows of someone who makes these up in the Junction City, OR area I would like to hear about them as I have plans to be there this summer.

Tanks for posting this! I will need them someday but hopefully not too soon.

Where is the Manobloc system located in my '09 Camelot? Is it behind the panel in the wet bay?

On my Camelot the ATS, inverter & the EMS-HW-50C are mounted on the ceiling in the passenger side 2nd storage bay. I would have to relocate my wine storage box if I were to modify the closet box....LOL! I think I will take a look at this next month when we are on the central CA coast in Pismo Beach. The weather is more favorable to be working outside there than it is here in the central valley.

Were you able to access that space through the closet wall somehow? I haven't looked closely in my closet to see if there is an access door but the power line reel must somehow be accessible there.

I have used my Hughes Autoformer for years & found it to be of great help in parks where the voltage drops below a minimum for my Progressive EMS. Years ago while parked next to friends in Portland, Maine who had one...their AC's were running normally while my EMS had shut off the power to our coach. In places with high temp's & high humidity I found the autoformer to be a necessity. I would like to have it installed in the coach but I have yet to do this. I would like to have it set up so that I could bypass it if it should take a power hit knocking it out of commission. This is on my list of things to do in the near future.
