I've toured the Newmar plant 3 times and am very impressed with the quality of craftsmenship and the quality of materials.

If you have enough room to run the plumbing it can be done. I have done it in the past.

If the light fixture does not come with a switch you can add one to most bases. Usually take a 1/2 inch hole. Switches are available at hardware stores, toggle, lever.chain,etc.

Use a dry lube so it doesn't attract dirt.

I'm not talking about the engine manufacturers but rather the coach builder. He's the one watching the dollars. I have had this disscussion with several coach builders.

It sounds like the brake was released or just doesn't hold. I changed my arms to the new style which has a crank and worm gear, no springs. It won't release unless you crank it out.

There are 3 ways for the coach to get 120 volts. Plug in the shore cord to a receptacle, it has an automatic line transfer switch, or there is a manual transfer switch. You should have one of the three.

Manufacturers use the least expensive filters to do the job. Thats why they don't recommend a premium filter such as K&N.

After 12,000 miles, 4.000 before and 8,000 after installing the K&N filter Blackstone lab found 5 ppm silicon.

It depends on what you want it to look like. How come the lower faded and not the top? If it were mine I would paint it the same color as the gelcoat. The color selection of bedliner coatings is somewhat limited.

See what size opening is required for the new one. Hopefully its the same or just slightly larger. Inside work such as plumbing and wire hookups are not that hard to do.

I beta tested for K&N a diesel filter for almost 2 years, had my oil analyzed and everything was ok. Been using a production unit since they were released in May 2012. There are those that don't think K&N filters are any good but they seem to be working good for me and the tests prove it.

We have used bleach and water to kill the mold. I learned that from professionals that had to kill the mold in my commercial building.

You are a newbie!! FMCA was already some 14 years old when I joined in 1978.

More than half of my coach is modified by me in my shop. Starting from the ground some of the changes are ISB Cummins and MD3060 Allison, 22.5 Alcoa wheels, larger rear axle, air ride, independent front suspension, air brakes, increased fuel capacity to 129 gallons, separate propane tank for generator, hid headlights, led running lights and tail/stop lights, 6 golf cart batteries, 2 group 31 engine batteries, remodel interior, change bed from a rv queen to a full memory foam queen, 3 LED LCD tvs, surround sound in living room and bedroom, blue ray player and HD satellite system, all new 120 volt system, 50 amp and special wiring to be able to run both airs on a 30amp and 20 amp pedistal.

My plate is also buried. I have traveled 38 years in 10 motorhomes and more that 300,000 miles and never been stopped.

I have been happy with Directv for about 20 years. When they came out with HD I had to have it. The latest in tvs is LED LCD which some are just over an inch thick. They also draw much less current which is important if you are running off an inverter. I have a Samsung 40 inch which is 1.2 inches thick. I made a cabinet above the dashboard and hinged the tv from the ceiling and there is storage behind it. I'm lazy so I have a Moto Sat HD on the roof.

It is possible to make a crankup dish into a 3 LNB but it is not economical and requires a machine shop and engineering skills. I have done it. The dish needs to be replaced to an oval and the mount for the dish needs to rotate for the tilt or skew. I used a motor to adjust the skew. I did it as a challenge, but thats just me. I have changed over to a Moto Sat HD some 4 years ago.

Larry, I'm sorry I steered the conversation off course. I just had never heard the goose egg refered to as a plaque! Herman has the right idea.

The "real" goose eggs are made of cast aluminum not plastic!

Your the son, I'm the old man!!

Maybe not you. Your number must be too high. Mine is 31xxx.

I believe Tri Mark makes a keyless kit to retrofit older coaches.

How current is that price list and are there any dealers in Las Vegas?

We normally refer to the number plates as goose eggs!!
