Gang,
When I drive at night, I get a terrible reflection in the drivers side window. My headlights are so bright that the road reflects in the side window and makes it almost impossible to see whats in the mirror.
I tried to get one of those screen protector films made for an iPad. It did indeed cut the reflection, but also made it impossible to see the mirror at all. I need to find some way of killing reflections while remaining clear.
Have any of you guys had a similar problem? Any solution comes to mind?
Cheers,
bill
I am replacing the standard side by side Amana with a new unit. All the parts are in working order, I just have a slow leak and I am tired of fixing it twice a year.
Sooooooooo, if you need ice maker, shelves, drawers, or any other part let me know before the delivery people take it away.

Gang,
I spent the day replacing the radio in my coach. The old unit was a Sony that had a CD changer, XM receiver, and of coarse the radio. I wanted a new radio that was easier to use, and that had the ability to interface directly to my iPhone.
When I looked closely at the dash, it turned out that the old radio mount was broken and flimsy and needed to be reinforced.
The new radio is a Kenwood KDC-X997. I also bought an external amp and the associated SiriusXM radio receiver.
Wow has technology changed! This new receiver has about a dozen different sources of music / talk. (FM, AM, FM digital, iPhone via USB, Bluetooth audio, Pandora, AHA radio, I heart radio, CD, ...)
I used the rear USB connector to run to the co-pilot armrest so that anybody riding with me can control the music and charger their phone.
The install went about as expected. I pretty much used the existing wiring but had to run a power wire for the amplifier. The sound quality is far better than the old Sony and the new system is far more flexible, yet far easier to use.
I cant wait to show it off in SD.
Cheers,
bill
I've googled and googled - anybody know where I can have a very nice campsite sign made for our rig to put out when we park? I don't want wood carving or cartoon like graphics. Thank you!

Gang,
The electric thingy that lifts my bed to allow access to the storage place is not quite right. When I try to lift...the motor makes a kinda grindy noise and wont lift the bed. If I reach over and lift the mattress, it then will extend properly (albeit) with some grindy noises.
Is this part readily available? Should I get a couple of the door opener cartridges to "help" it?
Cheers,
bill
I have discover that the Tie Rod End are dry on my 04. They do not have grease fitting and the covers are deteriorated and exposed to the elements. Has anyone replaced their and do you have a source. Country Coach, Foretravel, Featherlight Vogue, Ridewell and Newell according to Dana Spicer Parts Lists use the same tie rod end with the IFS 84 axle. The different part number shown are:
Socket assm.
Right F4562/s or F4921/s
Left F4566/s or F4920/s
Does Moog, Raybesto or anyone else make a replacement?
Thanks for your help
When I turn on my front air, it operates and cools for awhile, then it quits cooling, but is still blowing air into the coach. Then strange noises are emitting from the A/C bay. Sometime, it blows both breakers for compressors 1 and 2. I looked into the control panel and found nothing burned. However on the control board, it has a label that says 20 amps for both compressor 1 and 2, but the breakers in the back of the coach are only 10 amp. I am scheduled to see Eddie in Texas on May 20, but I will need A/C for the 10 days before. Any help or suggestions would be appreciated.
