    dkreuzen I don't agree that the 8 bag Roadmaster has issues with wandering. What those two threads you posted was worn steering gear boxes. They had a choice to either rebuild the non external adjustable Sheppard gear box or change it to a external adjustable TRW gear box. The Sheppard box is shimmed internally to take out play and must be done correctly by the rebuilder or it can wander. Another problem area is keeping clean fluid up to the proper level and changing the hydraulic filter. I've seen just low fluid shake the steering wheel violently because of sucking air. It's a good idea to flush the fluid as needed to prevent the above worn gear box. My coach 8 bag Roadmaster chassis has the Sheppard gear box and do not wander as the gear box is not worn out. There is no ride enhancing kits installed and the coach steers like a dream.

    You can also buy a prewired harness to make the job easier. I should of done this to my 1993 Southwind as it had a Ford push pull headlight switch and floor dimmer. I always hated how dim those headlights were but lasted until I traded for what I got now.

    Above is how to add the relays. Note the power wiring to coil number 86 of relay comes from dimmer switch.

    Good catch of why the switch is designed that way Rich.

    DPDT On-On Six terminals. This is how I'm understanding the switch you mention works. You feed battery power to both middle terminals and the load to L1 through L4 as needed. Feed B+ at 2 and 5. Park and dash lights at 4 and 6. Headlights at 3. You first need to find which is positive power and what the other wires feed by applying power to them one at a time.

    You say the wiring looks very suspect to you. Do you see any burnt marks on the connectors or wiring there? The reason why I ask is many models during the year of your coach is that the switch carried the load of headlights right through it. It is very common for both the switch and wire terminal block to burn up. The fix for that is a new switch and terminal block pigtail.

    I believe Frank may be right about that but a sure way to test is to unplug from shore power and plug in a 120v lamp. If not try pressing the inverter button in the hall on the control panel and see if that works. You should also see the control panel of your microwave come on at the same time.

    I believe on one conversion I read that that person swap the wiring for inverter from front outlet to fridge wiring. I believe it was a Monaco coach. Otherwise you will have to add an inverter. I see if I can find it.

    I tow a 2006 Jeep Liberty with no problem. What tow bar setup do you have? I use Roadmaster Falcon all terrain quick release and the Roadmaster brackets on the Jeep.

    Welcome to the forum Jackal. You will find a wealth of information here.

    Thanks Warren, we plan to stop by at least one day.

    The basement heater got a good testing last night and today as temperature stayed in the low 20 F. I caught it running giving out heat and later cycle off and on. I need it to work so we can make it over the passes in at the end of December. I haven't installed the Camping World heater yet as I can't decide where I want to run the wiring from. Now it's too cold for me to get on it.

    This is a nice upgrade. I went with a 40" up front. Good luck and enjoy!

    Did you look in your owners manual?

    We already will be at a nice RV resort just 30 minutes away at Desert Hot Springs area. It won't make sense for me to move my coach and dry camp but I may like to attend a couple seminars and kick a couple of tires. What would it cost to stop by in my toad?

    Finally got one uploaded, won't let me get another uploaded yet. This one is getting parked at FMCA High Desert Sun Redmond, OR. If I can do it so can anybody, um follow direction. If you look at the bottom picture you can see the dash cam right above the wipers in the middle.

    tetonchef, Where I'm going this winter there are many snowbirds that is going to be there. As there are 4G lte there as well as concentrated users in one area in the thousands. That will overload the towers as I already been warned. I hate to set up an hot spot with it's high cost only to be disappointed.

    rwilli I believe what is best in the future is above for all cars. If there is a sideswipe of motorhome and car it is the driver of the motorhome responsibility to avoid the accident. Wayne I'm glad that the GoPro works for you but I expect more than the GoPro provide and look for the future when 4 point drive cam become standard.

    I replace the front 26 inch wide flat analog and rear 19 inch tube in bedroom. I replace them with a 40 inch smart in the front and 32 inch in the rear. I used angle iron to mount solid and flat and Velcro to keep from rattling where it touches the cabinets. I did this before summer end and works great even on antenna. The WiFi works great on them but I haven't tried them at a campground yet. If it does have a good connection at the campground that's not so limited we can watch Netflix on them. I have a repeat router with power antenna to get better WIFI connection. I hate the low grade cables that the campgrounds provide because resolution is very poor. I know I'm spoiled.

    I just noticed the galley lost most of it's caption. No need to tell you Brett because you can figure it out without words. I will add the missing caption so others can know what I did. Before the end of today hopefully.

    My wife was complaining about diesel smell and dirt getting in the drawers of rear cabinet. I removed the cabinet and was shocked of why. The coach builder felt that thin carpet was a great filler for a 1/2 inch gap across the back wall. Then they hid the gap behind a cabinet. I fixed it and here are the pictures.

    The coach builder hid their sin behind this cabinet. If it wasn't for my wife I wouldn't know there was a problem lurking behind it.
