Good morning,

I have always been a fan of Leisure Led so I thought I would share the lights. The main old thin lights are what were changed here. They almost cover all of the thin light imprint. 

Super happy with these. They have Off, 25%, 50%, 75%, and 100%. I ordered them in natural light. These were basically plug and play. As long as they are centered up they will screw into the aluminum. The other link is the screws I used to mount them. Night and day difference.

The puck lights I ordered are these, huge difference also. Same natural light also. These are plug and play also, they fit directly in the hole.

All of the storage light bulbs I changed to these. They seem to be plenty bright. Same bulb for the porch light too.

The bathroom fixtures, wall sconces, map lights and outside step light I used these bulbs. Super bright also.

I removed the front and rear compartment pull lights and added these instead. Yes they are bright

In the kitchen I ordered these. The ballast have to be removed. I haven't received them yet but the reviews are great.

I changed out the camera monitor because I had a line in it. The new monitor was not compatible with the Aladdin so I ordered this small monitor to see Aladdin

Along with changing out the cooling unit in my no cold this is the bright LED bulb I used for that

Off topic of LED's I decided to change the U-joint. Not that bad of job with the right tools.

My transmission wasn't reading any temp and found out its because Monaco used a 400 degree sensor. I ordered a 300 degree and all is well. The gauge will actually show about in the middle now. If you're fast you can change it without losing much fluid.

Head light switch was 100 bucks from RV places. Its a basic Chevy switch. This is it for 26 and some change

Went ahead and straight piped the exhaust too. Couple hundred and done

Jeff - so did you eliminate the muffler?  If so, any noticeable difference in performance or noise?

Yes, muffler is gone. Haven't driven it yet to see any difference. The noise is there when on the throttle but honestly I don't feel its obnoxiously loud at all.

Try standing on the sidewalk next to the exhaust and having someone rev the motor up a bit. You might be surprised how obnoxious it is.
