    Most likely the tail light is from a late model car or pickup. There was a recent post on the form that was developing a cross reference list to assist motorhome owns in locating replacement lens.

    I don't remember Western Alpine Coaches being on his list.

    There are several motorhome salvage yards that have an extensive inventory of parts.

    My Sharp MW quits working a few years ago and I found a trouble shooting chart on a GOOGLE search.

    Found an example of the problem that I was experiencing and orders the parts on line (less than $15) once I had parts in hand I proceed to remove and dismantle MW until I found the parts that matched the parts that I had purchased.

    The hardest part of the job was getting the MW off the wall.

    It's still working fine, the repair was made 6 years ago.

    Catalytic heaters (Or any type of LP heater which does not vent the exhaust gases to the outside and supply outside air to the burner) run the risk of 1) depleting the O2 in the RV, and 2) causing a dangerous situation with carbon monoxide. The extra moisture would be the least of my worries sleeping inside a closed space with one of those running. A carbon monoxide monitor would be a must. Hopefully the unit itself has a low-O2 shutdown built into the control.

    We have used our previous MH for snowmobiling for extensively and we always used catalytic a catalytic heater as our primary heating source. We always left a window partially open in each end of the motor home and we also had O2 monitors.

    We found the heat were comfortable and we could spend day without running the generator.  I would install one in our current MH if we had a place to install on.  With the four slides there is no wall space to accommodate a catalytic heater.

    I had the same problem with the seal flipping until I started using LUCAS Slick Mist to clean and protect the MH exterior.   The finish is so slick that there is little or no friction on the rubber seal.

    I apply the Slick Mist monthly on the slide ends.

    I remember seeing where someone installed some diagonal plastic strips on the slide ends to force the rubber seal to flip when it was opening and closing.
