    Chad, like Tom, we’ve had no problem staying cool in our softtop Wrangler.

    Nothing has to be disassembled by the air bag. It will come out.

    Wavel started out this thread with a story about a fifth wheel having a problem with apparent protesters.

    I saw a video on Facebook of a motorhome towing a car trying to slowly travel through a large group of people in the street; I don’t know why the people were in the street.

    The back of the MH had a ladder. There were people on top of the motorhome, they were on top of the tow vehicle, and there were people hanging on the ladder.

    The people on the street also opening the bay doors on the MH and pulling stuff out of the bays as well has trying to break the windows of the MH and the tow vehicle.

    It wasn’t a very pretty picture.

    Please don’t tell the other woman about this. They can live a very full life thinking once a queen, always a queen.

    There are much more important upgrades for any coach.

    Yeah called Wrico and talked to a guy, said he was an Engineer, that wanted me to get info off tag and there isn’t one. Bought scope Camera and looked all around the back no tag. Have all Original paper work with numbers from Dick the Guy who owned this place and sold it to Cole Conversions back in 1991. Found out, They just package the units they don’t build them. No Go with Wrico. Will call today and check that place out Dick as I drove by many times over the 2 weeks I drove from my place (Kingsland) everyday checking on my bus down in Pipe Creek (Texas Custom Coach) on Transfer and Inverter change out.

    All the converters are facing a bigger challenge. They all share a common sales detriment, the lack of insurance for new coaches. There are only one or two companies that will quote a new coach today and they are very excessive in premium prices. All the converters I have talked to admit it is killing sales, but they have not gotten together, yet, to figure out an answer.

    Yes, it is very straight forward (actually pretty simple) if you make a plan. However, it did take me a little longer than expected and I wouldn’t attempt it without a tractor/loader or a fork lift. I found a step by step “go by” on line (in PDF) and will email it to you if you send me your email address. Go for it!

    Before everyone buys new lights you need to check your alignment.

    It’s tricky adjusting the bulbs in the XL front bezel. Make sure someone helps that knows what they are doing.

    My 06 was as bright as my 19. I’m aware of the delay but never a concern that I thought about or worried about.

    Later
