    Bobby:

    Your 07 Dip came with Carefree SOK III assemblies. The gold SOK II assemblies were discontinued mid way through the 2006 model year. 2007 and above all had SOK III assemblies. The gold anodized covers are not available anywhere except off a wreck located at a salvage yard. Unfortunately Colaw's and Visone salvage yards do not sell individual pieces. You have to buy the entire assembly and they know what they have and charge accordingly. 

    Depending on the style of cover you have and the length I may have a replacement for you. I have one gold SOK III cover left complete with the bottom deflector. Last I checked it was the only one available in the country that didn't come off a wreck. I also have the gold anodized SOK II covers whch I know are the only ones available in the USA. All are take offs but in excellent condition. The problem is I cannot ship these covers. I would have to buy a large shipping tube and then ship it by freight ( semi ). The cost would be crazy expensive and there is no guarantee they will arrive undamaged. We have gotten assemblies in that were dented beyond use, one was run over by a fork truck by the freight company and we have had patio assemblies with the ends crushed or knocked off them. I wont ship anything by freight. I keep these covers for customers who come in to our shop. If you are able to travel to Florida then we can get pictures from you of your current assemblies to make sure they are correct as well as measuring the length. We have a metal shop so have the ability to cut them down to size if needed. The biggest issue is length and making sure the cover we have is long enough. The hardware we always have in inventory - end caps, brackets, springs, etc.

    Contact Bethany next week ( we are closed till Monday ) - 352-942-2653. It may take 24 - 48 hours for her to get back with you. We are seriously back logged on call backs and e-mail responses due to being closed for a week for the holidays. Be sure you tell her you and I discussed this on the forum.

    .

    I live in Florida. Looks like your number is a Gainesville area number. Where are you located. 

    sounds like you may be my only hope. I had someone measure for black ones but I would really like to have them match. I will call Monday. Can she tell me exactly what you will need from me to make sure I have the correct measurements and you have all the info yiu need to help me?

    I believe Coah J is looking for the slide topper protective cover that fits the length of the topper and is between the 2 end caps.

    He has a 2007 Diplomat.

    I agree with Tom that you contact Chris Throgmartin as they should be able to help. It will be important to know which brand of slide topper you have. If it is Carefree, it should have their name on one or both end caps, at least it is on my coach. 

    That is exactly what I am looking for. Thanks for the contact.

    I am looking all over for replacements for the plastic covers that go over my slide topper. Mine are gold. I will take back. Whoever worked on them for the previous owner didn’t put them back on. I cannot find them anywhere online without replacing the entire slide topper. 
     

    not sure what they are called but mine have a plastic / aluminum case around them and I am Missing the top parts.

    MOST of the time, you nave a “communications” issue,  Age is about right.  Try this before you go crazy and start “unique solutions”.

    Pop off the covers for the HVAC (ceiling) panels.  There are 4 screws(memory) to remove,  you will see some phone lines with what is called a “dual inline” connector.  The phone cables carry the data and allow the system to work.  There will be 2 in the front,  probably only ONE in the rear,  I always mark how the lines are connected, but they are not polarized or such.  There is a “control” module in each AC.  It has a LINE going to the furnace.  The control module has 2 phone lines.  They have male ends.  They don’t care which way the signal goes…. There is an incoming phone line from the thermostat.  Then that goes to the front AC.  Then there is a line running to the rear AC.  There is a hard wired remote temp sensor in the rear.

    TURN OFF THE THERMOSTAT….

    You disconnect one connector.  Then use a QTip and alcohol or Electronic (NOT electrical) cleaner.  Clean the contacts on the male ends and the female ends in the connectors.  Then plug in…. Push hard.  Unplug and repeat a few times,  DO all phone lines.

    NOW, go to the Thermostat.  Hold IN the Mode and Zone buttons…..while holding them….turn on the Thermostat.  That is a hard reset.  You should see FF in the display.  Odds are….the furnace in Zone 2 will work.  If NOT, you have eliminated the most common “a zone or a zone function will not work”.

    I would.NOT do any troubleshooting until you have cleaned the communications lines.  They are notorious for working when you leave home….and then NOT working when you set up.

    Try that and report back.

    Can you please tell me if this continues to be an issue will changing the connectors is a fix?  I cannot seem to get through a trip without losing zone 2 of my system. It worked just fine for the last few days and now all of a sudden zone 2 is gone again
