Going to glue every piece in the hump. I’m a 3M junkie so going with their semi permanent/flexible adhesive-sealant and see how it goes. The main floor is floating 

Bro that is a work of art! I haven’t thought about the bed box yet, but you have inspired me to add it to the list. 

Really like all your upgrades to the coach J D. Do the bed box. 

1 Hour per bag is a usual time . Spray the fittings in advance with a 50/50 mixture of Acetone and ATF. The best penetrating agent I have ever found/used. Change the air fittings to a compression type that swivel. Once the blocks are in place, loosen the fittings, THEN  simply take a knife, or saws all and cut the bag out and remove. Ppl waist so much time trying to take them out in 1 piece.  Address the shocks condition as well. You may want to simply remove the wheels, do it all, and B done. Every time you R/R the wheel it's 100$.

My Data Card states that the engine AC Compressor is a Unicla model UP-150 serial#302331

I found an Internet reference that the Unicla UP-150 is the same as the Sanden SD7H15. I have not verified that information though.

The expansion valve is this one found on eBay I believe. https://www.ebay.com/itm/292153547690

However, there are many of the same type available for a lot less money. Whether they are the same quality or not I don't know. Just do an Internet search.

I haven''t been able to nail down the part number for the dryer. But they seem to be fairly standard.

I would think that when they evacuate the system it may remove any left over debris, not sure. I would ask the AC tech that will be replacing the parts. I am sure that their AC equipment is capable of flushing the system if needed.

BTW, when I needed a complete AC system for my 02 Windsor, I very nice customer service tech from ACParts.com in Texas helped me a lot in getting the correct parts, etc. I had a new compressor, expansion valve and dryer installed at a shop in LA when I had the new Samsung fridge installed back in 2012.

Yep. I'm sure Vito meant the Data Cards.

I want to say a great big thank you for all the responses regarding my ladder. I had not tried the new avenue thinking it would not be available due to the age of my RV. I will definitely call Rev Group in Oregon. And to Mike Wardell, thanks for the offer of the bottom section. I need the top section. I backed into the gutter on my garage and ruined my ladder, cracked the fiberglass and crushed the gutter. Ouch!!!! $$$$$. We really haven't used it yet and I completely forgot that I have a rear camera.

The front air bags have a 3/4" fitting because of the distance from the compressor. The rear use 1/4".

@Paul J A

Paul, yes that's correct.

T y Richard.

Richard; Is that $899 for the coach only?

Most chassis grease is clay based . That's what you should be using on your Chassis and especially on the brake slack adjusters. 

I would drain 4 quarts of oil out of the engine oil pan, and replace with;

Eliminates dry starts. 

Sort of off topic too. I drove a Prius 4 years as a volunteer, provided by a non profit . They provided transportation for a variety of  ppl who needed it. Very reliable vehicle, a little cramped for 4 adults. 

I will certainly keep and maintain my ICE powered vehicles. 

WALL Street Journal article this week.

GM is the latest automaker to signal that it's returning to the plug-in hybrid. The vehicle type seemed to be on its way out until late last year. That's when EV sales began slowing both in the U.S. and abroad, sending automakers back to the plug-in hybrid.

Henderson Line-up Brake & RV in Oregon sells the Safe-T-Plus where you can add on the Super Steer Trimming Unit which basically turns the combined package into what used to be the Howard Steering or Blue-Ox Steering adjustable units.

This incident received some publicity locally as the [edited} RDU Airport code) for RALEIGH DURHAM UNITED which includes Chapel Hill, NC and the RTP (Research Triangle Park or "Silicone Valley of the EAST) area is one of the fastest growing markets for “EV” and we, supposedly, have a mega digital/electronics population.  I started a topic on one of my Alma Mater’s sports blogs when we had a petrol crisis a few years ago….and it quickly morphed into EV’s.  All of that to say, our membership is fortunate in that we have great resources here.

However, since two close church friends are high in the echelon of the Raleigh and Durham fire departments, they keep me posted on the training and incidents related to Lithium batteries….from Scooters to EV’s.

Many folks are buying lower cost Lithium’s and converting FLA or AGM applications to Lithium….kits are commonly sold….ironically, by Tesla specific sites.  The “low voltage” Tesla batteries are used for “basic 12 VDC” functions on a Tesla….and, I was told, many other manufacturers have a similar configuration.  Tesla was chided on social media for an FLA and then upgraded ($175 to $575) to a Lithium Deep Cycle later on.

The “firemen’s” texts revealed that the owner watched a YouTube and actually read the manual on removal.  Much like changing any vehicle’s battery.  But, he purchased or had the basic $25 6/12 V 2/6 A car charger.  Thus a kitchen in a multimillion home was damaged, heavily.

Discussions like these help to continue to educate me…..

Just thought, even though, not MH, it might benefit someone or prevent an incident or injury….

 

 

"This incident received some publicity locally as the RDU & RTP area".

Could you post what the acronyms. RDU & RTP represent.

Is that how I need to do it in order to get to the back of TV?

Thanks folks.  Appreciate the feedback.  It appears I have to dismount the sofa from the floor to access the back of the TV.  Thanks all.
