Sorry Kurt, I expect unlike Tom, this will be our last coach.
Your coach is out there, you just have to keep looking. One thing potential buyers do have to understand is every one of us has compromised when we bought our coach, and we have to set a budget, list the important things with the most important things at the top and then things that would be nice to have. I would have loved to get coaches with known service histories but I did not. Now in my fifth year of this coach I am almost done replacing stuff and truly making it our own with a full and complete service history. This year it is air bags and norgrens and as many compression fittings as practical. With that milestone I will now be beginning to repeat all my preventive maintenance because except for rarely serviced items like bearings and brake calipers.
You may have to buy a coach that has most of your checklist, but may require you take it to someone like Tradewinds to modify it for bunks.

I have been here a couple of weeks and have not heard of the remodle work taking place but the close proximity of the coaches makes me wonder if they are that close for unloading and loading purposes.
Just thinking out loud.
When I have more information I will keep all posted.
Spy in disguise.
Will, help me out here, what do you think?

Ditto.

Jim,
You may want to check if Jimmy and Lisa has opened up the resort yet. If there is no ice on the roads, I see no reaason not to go there as long as the resort is open. -
Are there cheaper ones out there then Sliver Leaf ? I am changing my Liberty to digital.

Jon: Good point on how far the post of a bottle jack can be extended up. What about making a “shim” of 1″ plywood squares a little larger than the base of the bottle jack?
Gerald: Are you concerned about driving forward “off the ramps”? Do you use a spotter? Or does what looks like a modest sized “block” at the end of the ramp stop the coach? I like the idea of using two ramps to make two lighter components rather than one really heavy ramp.
The goal of all of this to make sure that the coach is supported by something solid … not the air in the bags.
What are the opinions on drilling 3/4″, 7/8″, or even 1″ holes through the plywood ramps to lighten them?

Good luck Cody.
Many of us will not attend a function at Hearthside since they have a rule that if your coach is over “10” years old or older you are not welcome there.
There was a rally planed there by some others here on this site but was called off because of the 10 year rule.
Good luck with your venture.
Do they know your coach is a 2000.

Thanks for the info!

This happened when my gen battery needed to be replaced. Then it works fine again.

For those of You that have a Dash Cam,
When Wired into ignition , Do They come on when You start the Coach ? No Buttons to Push ?
And How Long will a 32 Gig card last ? Does it automatically start overwriting the card after it gets full ?
Do they all Capture Video and Audio ?
Do They all have a Time / Date Stamp on recorded video ? There are some Hopped Up versions that range from 2000 and up. Are they worth the extra $ , Other than better video quality , What are the additional options ? Humm , Wonder if any of them have an internal HD ?
Would be a good way to document any Once in a Lifetime trips to share and enjoy later ? Maybe from My Rocking Chair some day ? Before going to the Hoverround Races ?

You can remove the black wires directly from the breakers, tape the ends and wire tie them to the side with the other wires…therefore not having to remove all the wiring yet making it safe to remove..

Extra yellow hooked to blue and everything works.

thanks

FYI, if your coach has no jake brakes and the 2 piece valve cover, it’s easy.

Except when a cabinet has been built over the panel. Then disassembly of the cabinetry is required before you can even begin to lift the carpet.
The ease or difficulty is going to be determined solely by what the converter did on your particular floor plan or conversion.
