NEED AWNING FABRIC COLOR
We have a 2004 37C Slate Pace Arrow.
Can anyone tell me the "name" of the color of the awning.
I am ordering window awnings and would like to match them to the patio awning. The unit is in storage right now.
Thanks
The one I have is Charcoal Tweed. - Cathy_JohansenExplorerNEED AWNING FABRIC COLOR

Thanks - mtollinExplorerThanks for the info on the caps.
Was also wondering, anyone getting strange noises under the dash or towards the front end in front of driver after a long day of driving? We never get it on short trips, but after a 6-8 hour day we start getting a whinning or groan under there. Moving the steering wheel a little makes it louder, almost like a tired power assist motor. Lets up at high speed, and never appears until a long drive. During breaks from driving it goes away when we start up, but comes back shortly after. - R2DillonExplorerThe screws are under the sealant. There are three. Just follow the cap down and use a putty knife to clear sealant, then unscrew the screws.
- mtollinExplorerWas wondering, how do I get the cap off the black/gray vents on the roof? I want to run a hose down and clear them. I think I have a blockage. I don't see any screws or releases. Do they just snap off? I don't want to break one.
Thanks. - Meme_RayExplorer

Just wondered if those of you that are having cracking on the sidewalls of you tires already used tire covers on a regular basis or any of the sprays that are supposed to protect tires from UV damage? Or do you live in a part of the country where you can use your RV year round? It would be nice to know if the excessive cracking you are seeing is probably due to environmental factors because you are using your RVs more and the tires are thus exposed to more UV rays.
Thanks,

What size Goodyear tires are you getting and did you get a price yet?
I'll probably stick with the 235/80R's, but I haven't got a quote yet.
I did call Michelin back and got a little better explanation when I asked what was the point of taking them in for inspection. They said, even though they don't warranty for cracking due to weather and ozone, there's a good chance they will give me a reduction on replacement cost based on remaining tread on the tire/s. So I guess I'll at least take them in and see what their offer is. If it's not too good, then I'm still going to check on Goodyear's. Due to a trip coming up, not motorhome trip, I won't know anything until around June 8th or 9th.
I have 27,000 miles on the tires, it is not parked more than a few months a year. I use 303 on them, cover them most of the time and if parked longer than a week I put wood under them. This is the first time I ever had Michelin and this is the first time I ever had this type of a problem. This is the same thing we did with Goodyear tires we always had before. I was just wondering if it was just my bad luck or is this a problem Michelin has.
Sounds like you are just having some bad luck with your tires. We are not seeing any cracking problems and haven't been as diligent in taking all the precautions that you have taken to prevent premature sun damage. Hope Michelin does something for you.

dKingdoe - Do you order the replacement from Fleetwood? How much is the part? Labor?
Thanks, Gary
Gary, We didn't order directly from Fleetwood. The dealer we bought our MoHo from ordered and installed it. We're not handy when it comes to this kinda stuff. :(
Charges were ... 147.01 + tax
Labor = 90.00
Parts = 57.01 (11oz. Dicor Lap seal 2@7.79 = 15.58 / Exterior skylight dome = 28.49 / shop supplies = 12.94)
As stated before, we'll have the kitchen dome replaced in the next week or so. - Paul_TurpinExplorer
