"I haven't had any noise issues from this overhead area--as of yet.
The noise has been the single most terrible issue we've had w/ the TL. I noted it to the sales guy when it was new, but was afraid they would not be able to figure it out, as the posters of many B+ rigs were having similar issues at the time.
Ours is an '05 model. but I think we have a defective build - our noise has ben terrible, but all the things that have been posted to get at it have proven too unhandy for me. I had called a car interior shop ome time in hopes they could deal w/ the headliner...oh well, I hope I got it fixed finally.
"Today finishing the 'slat project' for storing the foam overhead "out of the way".
We just rough it on the stock dinette and sofa cushions - added a thin layer to three dinette seat cushions long ago, but nothing major.
"Would post photos but have absolutely banished the host photo guys from my account.
I think this is common - I see far fewer pics than I used to on the forums. I have used them to make myself clear only to see them deleted. It is a lot of hassle.
"What has proven to be best flooring/carpet stuff to easily keep clean?
We still have original vinyl and carpet. Have had a long carpet strip runner between the sofa and dinette to 'save' wear and tear from carpet under it.
"Another little problem, the magnetic switch for the power step keeps coming loose from the double-sided tape down near the lower screen hinge.
We put new tape on last fall at the dealer, yet it has become unable to stay put. I could put small screws in the tiny holes in the ends of the switch to attach to frame, yet am reluctant to do such.
For a few years, I has some clear packaging tape to hold that magnet. Recently went to home depot and asked about double-sided tape to maybe do a better fix. The guy happened to have a roll on him and just peeled off about 8" or so. I put it on and it is sorta holding for now. That tiny screw hole, my big hands, and near blindness have kept me from the proper fix -- even TL workers seem to have avoided such tiny screws, it seems.
