They did some repainting of some compartment doors, roof radius, and removal of the Diamond Shield that they applied when the unit was new. Very happy with the job.

CDI gave me a quote for a full redo on my paint. It was very competitive and I am still considering getting it done.

John, I have a remote as well and you can watch the temp rise whenever the furnace kicks on. I seem to remember that the hose that supplies heat to the plumbing bay had a kink in it when I first got the rig. Maybe you have the same issue. The hose comes into the bay in the upper left corner of...

On my 2004 40AD there is a heat duct that extends into the plumbing bay and seems to do a good job keeping it warm as I have been in zero degree weather overnight a few times with no problems. The heat duct that runs along the center of the living room and kitchen floor has a few openings in the...

On my Horizon, the air bags will not inflate until you push the store button. The HWH system will not close the vent valve to allow the bags to inflate until the jacks are retracting. Pete

I have a 40AD and have worked on mine as follows: 1- Remove the passenger cup holder by first carefully prying off the trim ring around the holder perimeter. This allows you to see inside the cabinet. 2- Remove the screws that hold the fire extinguisher bracket to the cabinet. 3- Push on the...

The TRC 50 that I am familiar with is a surge protector. Its sole purpose is to protect your rig against surges and low voltage. Pete

Never above 300' AGL as per regs and out of controlled airspace. But I cannot sell my photos or videos to customers ( real estate or homeowners ) without a commercial pilots license. My private, VFR/IFR, single engine multi engine, and 1000+ hours are not enough. Tell me that makes any sense...

Here is mine. Home built and in beta dress.

Mine operates at 900 MHz and therefore requires at least a tech cert. Most of the over the counter RC aircraft have very limited range (300' - 600") and may operate on a different freq. My range so far has only been tested out to about 2 miles. Lots of fun and never around a populated area. Hope...

Thanks for the great info. I am looking forward to getting back into it as I haven't really done any serious wheeling since the 70's when I had a TJ Toyota. It was a great off-roader and I wish I had kept it. Looks like I may go with the Rubicon as, being a member of the Freightliner family with...

I am going to be purchasing a Jeep Unlimited and plan on using it for a toad and 4wheeler. I probably will get into some difficult rides so I am thinking Rubicon but wonder it the items from Jeep are good or would I be better off buying a "not Rubicon" and building it up with aftermarket. I am...

The video downlink requires a Ham cert as it operates in the Ham band. I fly a Quadcopter with video downlink and a onboard HD video camera. Much fun.
