Jim, I am with Auto owners as well and have seen the premiums go up this year. My MH rate stayed the same at $115.00 but the truck and car went up. I have about the same agreed value of 58K but I use the MH about 6 months of the year and it is garaged at my home that may make the difference. I searched about every other company and they are about the same but most will not cover a MH. The MH by it self would wind up costing about $1600/yr so that wipes out any savings on the auto's. So long story short, I'm staying with Auto Owners Cliff

Yes I did Frank. I started with a 3 inch hole saw and found the vertical support then looked on both sides and saw that there were additional supports outside of my area to be cut. With the support from plywood on the inside and the aluminum skin under the outside skin and that the vertical stud that needed to be cut was not load bearing I decided to remove it. It's been like that for two years and many miles and no structural problems. I have owned many Rv's and the Monaco is the first one that I have seen Vented inside. In my opinion venting inside does not work well in a house and did not work well in the Monaco thus the decision to vent it outside.

Rick, If the 05 is the same as the 02 the microwave is attached to the rear mount with 2 long screws accessed from behind the filters on the underside of the microwave. The picture shows the rear mount with the mounting points that the screws attach to at the extreme left and right in the picture. if you have space on the top it might be that the 2 mounting screws have loosened

I cut it out with the saws all. Did not have an effect on stability of side wall.

One of the first things I did in my 2002 Diplomat was vent the Microwave outside! I ran into the vertical metal stud right in the center of the hole I need to create. I started with a 3" hole saw so I could see what I was getting into and discovered the vertical stud, you can see it in the center of the hole picture. I saw that there were more studs to the left and right of the area I need to cut out so I went ahead and removed the obstruction and installed the vent duct and replaced the microwave back in it's place. That was in 2002 and have had no problems and no smelly coach. Cliff

Richard, I have been with Auto Owners for several years and they are very competitive. I also live in Florida and the insurance rates, Auto and Home, have gone through the roof. Cliff

OK I have completed the removal and install of the toilet and all is well. It fought me the whole way but I won. The old flange was glued on to the pipe leading to the tank so had to use the Dremel tool to cut it from the inside. Thanks for all the tips Cliff

Thanks for the tips. Looks like I will have to do what Richard did with the dremel tool and Lowes has the rest of the parts i will need. Had the POS aria apart several times last summer the $140. kit lasted just over 30 days. Not doing that again with a half full tank. It's going to the round file. Just ordered the the new Dometic 320 will be here Friday. Tank is empty but to be sure I added some Tank perfume to the tank. Again Thanks for the tips. Happy New Year all ! Cliff

My winter project this year. The Thetford Aria has failed for the last time had to replace the flush mechanism on the road last summer and it lasted about 30 days so out it goes! My question is since the Aria is held to the floor with lag screws do I need to install a new floor flange with the new toilet? Has anyone done this conversion? Tips, Tricks?
