So, we'll be taking it on it's first "long drive" RV adventure. The jacks are fine (just one jack needed a new fitting, works great now). They found a fitting for the new RV Toilet (so it installed perfectly). Four new Cooper Tires are on the rear axle (so it drives wonderfully now). Replaced...

AAA now does the same coverage (regarding trailer and towed vehicle).

So, I bought a "Thetford 42062 Aqua Magic Style II High Profile" off ebay for $153.00.  I came across a snag tho.  I brought the rig to Scott's RV in Rockford, and they indicate the old toilet is a 4 bolt (and the one I handed them was a 2 bolt) so it will only install sideways(??????) That was...

I had a 1989/1990 Coachman with a 460 (John Deere chassis) 4 years ago, sold it, and now have a 99 Itasca Suncruiser 35c (with the V10 and one slide). It is wider than the Coachman and with the V10, it drives SOOOOOO much better at speed - is quieter - has no high temp issues - and is all around...

I bought a "Thetford 42062 Aqua Magic Style II High Profile" off ebay for $153.00. I came across a snag tho. I have a 1999 Itasca Suncruiser with the worlds smallest RV toilet. I brought the rig to Scott's RV in Rockford, and they indicate the old toilet is a 4 bolt (and the one I handed them...

It was $257 for the front windshield upper seals to be removed, new ones installed. No more leaks up front (it's been raining for 2 days now and the interior of the front is dry as a bone). Given the camper has the world's smallest RV toilet..... I bought a "Thetford 42062 Aqua Magic Style II...

How much was it (ball park) if you don't mind me asking? I just picked up a 1999 Itasca SunCruiser myself for $16,500. :)

Thanks. :) I love the setup of this rig (that is what attracted me to it). The slide-out is in great shape (with the slide-out having a weather deflector above it to keep the water/crap out of it). But the "managed" power aspect to the rig (as long as it works) is a great feature. The fact...

We took the rig to the campground my brother goes to ("Blackhawk" by Rockford, IL) to stretch her legs and to test all systems. The night before, I made temp light covers for the front lights (with LED's) using standard Plexiglas ($15 in Plexiglas and $30 in 12" LED strips).... and using a band...

Well, I won the ebay auction....... so I got the following lights for $122 (including shipping): http://www.ebay.com/itm/191838809651?_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT# I'm looking forward to the effort at fitting them in the rig. :) Their size is 22x10x9. The rig's...

I agree. I've already figured the mounting angle and beam direction......... and the dimensions are within the space the present lights are occupying. I looked at trucks, SUV's, Minivans, and cars. The '06 Audi's lights are relatively angled to what the rig is and isn't swept up or down at the...

My brother's experience with his 2013 Montana 5th wheel (buying new, and having multiple issues with his black/gray tank valves.... a bad "brand New" A/C unit - he only used the front unit and never tried the rear until a year later.... just after his one year warranty expired and they won't...

What is the consensus on adding the Audi A6 LED Projector light enclosures to the rig (replacing the 80's square halogen units)? I am hoping it gives the rig a more modern look, especially at night (when the other LED treatments are added - they will be subtle and will mimic newer units with...

Thanks Jim, it still takes getting used to regarding being thanked for one's service (I am pre-gulf war), so hearing it is always "pretty cool". And thanks for your service as well. Regarding the rig's lights, I am looking at an Audi S6 Euro light that "should" be able to creatively be put into...

Does anyone know what can fill the light space (regarding newer style lamps)? The light has to be straight across.
