Also is the roof aluminum??

Can someone explain how the air door locks with the key pad.  I found the master code for the door but don’t really understand it.  
Are you supposed to to lock it with the keys as well?

Pictures attached...

My other coach awning was metallically mounted directly to the coach without this fabric....
So this is a new configuration for me..

The bearings on the pantograph arms are getting loose. I found new replacements at American Bus and accessories. The part number shown here is the correct one for 316 which was built in 1993. Be sure to check compatibility. The first ones they sent were the correct part number on the bag with the wrong part in the bag. The quickly sent me the correct part after I called.]]>

This is another of my DIY projects - bought a blow up booth so I didn't paint my neighbors house - rough job but turned out ok at the 25 ft distance  Dodgy
Sorry I've not kept up with this site - it's been a wirlwind year.

I'm not completely satisfied and will be touching it up at our Covert Michigan property this summer. Right now we're enjoyng the weather in our Sand Springs Oklahoma home. And I have a donor engine and transmission vehicle in my driveway. 98 Monaco Windsor - 8.3 mechanical Cummins and a Allison World 6 speed automatic that I'm going to put into my Newell this spring. It's going to be a pain and fun also. I'm a Master Auto Tech and an Engineer but this is by far the biggest thing I've ever tried. Fun getting a new to me A-frame - 10ton chain fall and a beast of an engine crane to swap things around. For those that have followed my storied Newell projects I had an 8.3 Cummins ISC I had to sell because of our move to Oklahoma, even though that was painfull loosing the money I couldn't be happiers putting in the 300hp engine with under 60,000 miles. Our Michigan property is new for us this year also. Close to the big lake with 1 hour access to our older daughters house in GR and 1 hour from South Bend for old friends and family. Another huge project but I couldn't be happier to take it on. Especially since Marcia and I are both retired senior citizens with much more time for projects.

I decided to fix a couple of bay door skins that had started to come loose.  The wet bay door had started sagging and the small door next to it was coming loose at the bottom.   I wasn't for sure how difficult of a job it was going to be so I started on the larger one and got it finished first.

At first I thought I could do it with the frame still attached to the coach but ended up removing it to make things a lot easier.

Removing the old double sided tape was the toughest part but by the second door I had a pretty good system.

Once both sides of the aluminum mating surfaces were clean, I had Hannah help me set the frame onto the skin.  Once the tape touches the joining surface there's no going back so it had to be perfectly aligned . 

Total cost was about $150, the 3M tape was $125 and the roloc disks about $25.
