Jeff has never liked our console setup in our coach..with that being said he moved it!

He didn't like the fact that it was so low on the left hand side and that while driving you had to look down for cruise, lights and so on.  I did have it memorized and so I didn't have to look down often, since I do 99% of the driving.  

 I am talking cutting every wire!  Then moved all the wiring and we built a new console that I love!  Now everything is wired and in place!  This lady is one happy person!

up until late last week we had 4 newells at my place.  my 02, my 99 and hockwalds 82 and parkers 84.

clarke and elaine were here the last 2 months riding out the coronavirus and glen and laureen were here 17 days fixing a bunch of stuff.  they both left this morning to go north to get out of the heat.  

was fun having them all here.

I've been buffing the bus today to get ready to go to Newell on the 12th to have the slide out seal replaced. Generator was running with the AC and I smelled something funny. Went inside and it was full of smoke. Started at the front right bay and the AC bay was blazing as soon as I opened the door.

I think the plywood on top of the AC was what was flaming but it started at the wires on top of the electrical board.

Any idea if I can find the parts I need to fix this?

I think mice may have chewed some wires...

FYI the AC was still running and blowing cold when I shut down the generator.

Thanks for any advice!

How many have changed your instrument panel lights to LED and do you like them for night driving?  The ones we have our a 2825 and I would like to replace them with LED's.

Suggestions on where you have ordered them from would be great and even part numbers!  :-)

Thanks
Pam

Has anyone had any luck finding a cover that works well and is somewhat easy to put on?

a sad ending for this old girl!

My DW came running in the house screaming honey hurry up the toilet is running over!!

If there is a silver lining in this mishap it's that the water was running for only about 3 5 minutes and could have been much worse as she was on her way to work and decided at the last moment to grab something out of the rv.

Took about fifteen minutes to get it cleaned up and get the heaters and fans going.

Now to teach the wife not just to push and let go to holding down the handle until it engages.

I also need to replace the rubber seal around the flap. Such exciting times......

I'm experiencing delayed shifting from 3rd, 4th & 5th until warmed up. Typically, resolved after five miles.  Is this an idication for service?  Possible Service locations in South Central Texas?

i know what the ride height is for 1990 and up, but pre 90 classics ride higher.
what is the correct ride height measurement?
