howdy, i know a few of you have the air door and the keyless entry with it.

mine is an essex electronics 1602 system. it does not have any wireless keyfobs with it and i have a call into essex to see if it is possible to add them in.

those of you that have a similar system, do yours have remote key fobs with it?

These guys are on two of my slide out cabinets. I have tried to adjust them to no avail thus far so I think I may need to get them replaced. Would anyone have suggestions where to look for these or some sort of replacement suggestions? when you pull on the handle they are supposed to retract down and unlock...but they pretty much stay unlocked now and swing widely out when turning corners...it's very exciting.

Anyone have a clue where to find replacements for these old rusted dudes? I have searched high and low and been to several truck places and people seem stumped by these. Most just have ones that bolts and lugs go thru not these top hats that fasten with 4 allen screws.

one of my long time things has been pinballs though i have not done much for a long time with them.

i have too many of them.

i finally got a new circuit board installed in my Gilligans Island (1990 same year as my 90 newell).

somehow a message got put on the screen that flashes up once in a while...

have a look.

by the way, the answer to the question is ME.

Hello,
Just wanted to mention another Aqua Hot Mobile Tech & factory Certified for HWH slide sytems, Aqua Hot
Don Moran operates his business out of Ennis, Montana and in teh winter he services Aqua Hot in Yuma , AZ
great guy to deal with and he will even show you what to lokk for or what to service on your own.
He did servied our AH system and replaced some parts , pulled the the wobasto , replaced the h/c water valve, checked the presure in the wobasto pumping diesel trough, it was great to take some notes and watch him performing service!

If you ever near the yellowstone or Bozeman , MT area you might wat to stop for few nights in great Ennis RV Village and while bird/wildlife watching , gol or fly fishing, Don can come nad work on your coch.
His shop is stone away from the RV village , he warks around the clock in the area , in November you can find him in Yuma , Arizona

This is a coach that I liked when I was looking, but the owner was stuck on $300,000. It is owned by an Iowa car dealer. It is now realistically priced at $174,500. I never looked at it in person, since he was not willing to lower the price. His ad does profess that he will take a trade.

    Been in all 50 states with my Vans, Motorcycles, and Motorcoaches. I am now going to try to do off roads in as many as I can. Look forward to many miles with Steve, Jeff & Pam. Hope to get other people involves and we can start having mini rally's all over the US.

I have been towing for 12 years with 4 different coaches. 1. Incident was the first time pulling dodge Dakota and I turn the key off steering lock up, 2 new front tires. 2. Hitch broke a main weld. 3. Pin came out of connection on truck. When you see front of truck in your side mirror you have a problem. 4. Weld broke on hitch. 5. Tow bar was not level and truck came up over the ramp into my Motorcycle. I have also had the base mounts get loose on the truck. I have always had the ramp on the back of the coach and that has kept the truck away from the coach. No damage was ever done until this last event and the truck did 4K damage to the motorcycle. This should have never happen except I was not level and I stop downhill, hit bump and brake all at the same time. Three out of the five were my fault and the other two were probably also from overloading. I always have a Brake Buddy in the truck except it has never activated because the tow vehicle has never separated. Be sure and have the tow bar level and check when ever you stop.I have posted some pictures.
