    Don’t know about your model but on ours, the switches pop out after carefully prying them. The connections on the back were spade connectors.

    Thanks, I will try to pry them.  I’m at work on the river (River Towboat Captain) for another 2 weeks.  I will work on these switches then. 

    Thanks again.

    I just learned a lot just reading this post.  Thanks for sharing, glad things are working better.  

    I hope to make it out to Quartzite some day, my oldest son just made a trip out west and stayed there for a couple weeks.  He called me and said “Dad, I think I found my people”.  I’m not quite sure what he meant, but I know he had a big time!

    On our 2017 Winnebago Vista 29VE, there are a couple of duel light switches that are reversed.  What I’m talking about are the entry wall switches for the outside light and the interior light and the hall way lights.  For the outside light you have to hit the furthest switch of the two, the closest switch lights up the forward coach area.  In the hall way, when you stand facing the duel switch, the left switch lights up the lights to your right  and the right one lights up the lights to the left.  

    This is not a real big deal, just unnatural.  For me anyway.  My question is how do you remove the switches from the trim?  Prying? And once off, is it easy to swap the connections around?  I’ve scoured the net including YouTube and see nothing on how these switches work behind the wall.

    Thanks for any insight.

    Interesting, I’ve been thinking of a trip out to Fort Davis, TX and Marfa is nearby.  Maybe I will see something...  To bad it’s 1500 miles from home.  But the next time we are in the Beaumont area visiting family, I might head over that way.

    My wife is a commercial motor coach driver when she decides to work (says she’s to busy visiting grandkids to take any trips lately).  She has given me many pointers on proper driving techniques (mostly when getting fuel so I don’t wipe out the pumps with the rear end).  We share the driving.  I usually drive in the morning and she takes the wheel after lunch so I can find a campground.  She is real good at backing in.

    My wife and I decided to boondock (or actually dry camp) at my uncle's place near Prosperity, SC in the path of eliplse totality.  The eclipse was just as wonderful as widely reported, something we will never forget.  

    This was our first real dry camping adventure for one night in our new MH. I was pleasantly surprised that my wife slept soundly at the noise of the generator located almost under our bed on our gas MH.  We had to run the generator all day and night for A/C as the temperature was in the upper 90's.  This is encouraging as we plan on more boondocking in the future.

    I'm looking forward to some more boondocking adventures in Oct as I attend some four wheel drive Jeep rides in the North Carolina mountains.  I hope we only have to run the generator for battery recharging.

    Interesting! Are there any hooks?  Looks pretty. Tried a place on the New River on the WV side . Mistake!

    No hooks that I know of.  The owner retired some 7 years ago and started building this RV park.  There are very nice level, spacious sites, all hookups including cable TV.  Some sites have decks overlooking the creek.  

    It is a very relaxing place to hang out, ride a bike on the wonderful trail, fish and catch some local bluegrass music.

    This camp ground is at the top of our list and we plan on going back when we can.

    This is not your typical RV park.  It only has 16 sites, with a creek running though it.  The park owner, Tom will help set up and brings muffins to enjoy!  Located near the Virginia New River Trail State park.  Over 50 mile trail for bicycle, horse or walking along the New River.  Lots of Bluegrass music venues in the area.

    Give it a try!

    I joined the FMCA just a few months ago.  I've owned TT in the past, now I'm a owner of a new MH.  I received an email yesterday reminding me that in my welcome package from FMCA is a coupon for $10 off, complete with a picture of a cap with the traditional FMCA logo we are all familiar with.  So I go to the FMCA store to look at maybe oderering a cap and there are only three styles available that have only FMCA letters printed with no traditional goose egg logo.  I looked at the other clothing available and most of the inventory has only FMCA letters.  No motor coach on our logo?

    The handwriting is on the wall........

    Our new rig is a 2017 Winnebago Vista 29VE.  It has the outdoor kitchen, full driver side slide out, bunch of TV's and stuff.  It is our first Motor Home and we are loving it.  I plan on rigging up the Jeep as a toad some day but for now the bikes are loads of fun.
