I need to replace the vinyl on the ceiling of my 93 Newell. There are wood strips stapled to the ceiling approximately 25" apart. The vinyl is stretched over these strips, then stapled to the ceiling. It appears that I can just staple one side of the perimeter of the vinyl then pull it taut and staple the other side. I'm wondering if there is a method to assure the vinyl will stay taut. Should the vinyl be warmed or steamed prior to stretching? I'm wondering if anyone has experience with this or if there is a way to find out how it was done at the factory?

Alie and I left Largo, Fl with the coach headed for Memphis. She was not feeling well and got worse during the two days it took to get there. As soon as we were parked on Thursday I insisted on a visit to the Emergency Room. During the next 24 hours she was diagnosed with cancer of the small intestine and it has spread to the liver. She had emergency surgery. We enormously lucked out by getting one of the best surgeons in the country - he is fantastic. He has told her she will be OK, but it will be a long journey of treatment. It's Tuesday now and she is making great progress. We expect to be here another week and then probably head home to Detroit.

We waited longer than we should have to get really serious treatment and that delay came close to causing really serious trouble. The lesson we learned is that if the treatment you are getting isn't working and you are feeling worse, get serious help as it may save your life.

Y'all be well and we hope to see you down the road.

I'm doing some updates to the interior, cork flooring, new carpet, reupholstering the furniture and removing the curb side couch and installing a desk. Anyone have any interest in the couch?

i just noticed my main fuel is leaking, it looks like it rusted thru from the outside where it meets the thin piece of plywood.
I removed the fuel from it today and am going to pull it tomorrow. 
I will take some pics along the way and post

One thing on the coaches I think could be better are our headlights. I am considering adding an led light bar. I was considering the roof but isn't there a law against that? If so how about on the front down by the headlights.. Has anyone considered something similar.

My dash heat has been lousy since I've had the coach. Forest reported that it was inadequate when he had it so this is a long term problem. I recently noticed that the heat is much hotter when sitting at a traffic signal and seems to diminish quickly when we start moving. I'm wondering if my boost pump and the engine pump are fighting each other. I have 4 shutoff valves, two for supply and two for return. I'm wondering if someone that has the 8V92 engine on a coach that heats really well going down the road would take a look at their coach and tell me the location of the valve that is connected to the inlet of the boost pump.
