    Dark Dash Dials

    I got both the LEDs  and the chrome plastic trim at Auto Zone about 2 years ago.  I used a switch that matches all of the Winnebago interior ones, but any on/off switch will work.  I mounted the switch on the lower left dash panel..... about at your left knee level. If I were to do it again, I...

    Dark Dash Dials

    I'll try to clarify the install.  The LED strip lights are about 1/4" wide and have an adhesive back.  The strip has cut marks so it can be cut to length.  Apply the strip on the wood grain at the point where the plastic shroud meets the clear lens.  Have the wire end of the strip on the left so...

    Dark Dash Dials

    This is a link to a posting showing pictures of my fix for poor guages visibility.  I installed a switch so I can turn them of for night viewing. 3 postings back from the pics describes the process.  It works very well...

    Warranty work at Factory

    keep this in mind......  after you have concluded your voice/online appointment, and agreed on the # of repair items, you can only add 3 additional repairs when you hand over your coach at the service center.  You should contact your advisor again prior to arrival and discuss any additional items.

    HDMI to RCA converter?

    Component cables are like Composite cables in that they use what are called RCA jacks.  You can get HD signal to the TV with the RED,Blue,Green component cables, but they carry no sound.  In that case, there are probably the composite red and white cables available behind the TV.  So, all you...

    Wiper Blades 28"

    Here's what I did.  Bought a set of Bosch 28" blades at Walmart. The opening for the hook was the right size, but the plastic clip was not.  So I removed the plastic clip from the origingal set and snapped it into the Bosch set.  It worked.  The Bosch set set is securely installed. the cost was...

    Patriot internal battery replacement..

    JMHO, but I would send it back to Blue Ox.  From a safety perspective it is worth it.  You will have a like new unit with updates.

    Dog house

    Inboard boat engines have a type of heat shield/insulation.  Go visit a boat dealer and see if they any material and how to fasten it.

    Patriot internal battery replacement..

    Have you tried bringing the Patriot unit into the MH and plugging it into a 12V outlet overnight? With no need for brakeing, it may charge up.  How old is it?

    Fiberglass Roof

    Both roofs are white. FG easier to maintain. Rubber will streak the side walls more. FG might be a little louder in rain.  If punchured, both can be repaired with Eterna Bond.  Caulking strips off FG better when re-caulking seams etc.  Opinion is from my experiences. FWIW.

    Will this Motor Home pull an Excursion

    As to the Excursion, Look in the Owners Mnual, under Towing/Recreational.  It will tell if the vehicle can be towed.  As to the MH, Check all MFR lables for weight information and look for a lable on the hitch as well.  Its not just a power issue, chassis limitations play in the equasion, and...

    What has changed since you last had a picture?  What inputs do you use?  Are any of the inputs now unavailable?  Please provide some more info. :)

    Access holes?

    They are most likely draft openings to provide heat to a basement area.  Also good for checking wire or plumbing if needed.  I have found them good for fishing wires for added accessories.

    Non-retracting step

    I would check and clean all the terminals that plug into the controller.  Its a black box close to the motor.  Be carefull not to be in an area the can injure you if the step activates while you are under it. The fact that the steps works should mean that the motor is likely good.  Also check...

    Generators

    Wait for the diesel.  Quieter, one less fuel source, easier fuel availability.  It will payoff in the long run too.  Better resale value. :)
