New to the forum with an old Mallard
Howdy all, Figured I would introduce myself and tell you a bit about my familys motorhome and what we are doing with it to get it back on the road. Plus I may have a few questions along the way. N...

ok so a few updates. The other day the windshield got replaced and Safe lite did a decent job but ended up breaking one of the A-pillar trim pieces. That ticked me off since everything originally was in perfect shape. I never did complain about it though dad told me not to.
Yesterday:
Put a water heater in that we believe works but had to modify a few hinges on to the door to make it work.
Put silicone on all the windows and some of the lights that were a bit messed up.
Installed the seat belts which somebody had removed. Unfortunately one of them is broken.
got the generator cleaned up and fired up but it isn't power out anywhere. sounds good though. All breakers are good too.
Fixed the leather that goes on the board and put that back on the fridge since we found it sitting under the table bed seats!
Picked up a 110 and 12v small TV with DVD player in it so that we have some TV to watch. It didn't have the cord for the 12V but we looked around in the motorhome as I remembered seeing a few universal cord deals and I found one that fits.
We drove it to the local country store really quick mostly to find out if the gas gauge is really working and luckily it is. Doesn't seem to be getting that bad of fuel mileage. We bought it with a little less then 3/4 of a tank and now is just barely above 1/2 a tank with no gas put in it and we have driven about 50 miles so far. That isn't including firing it up once in a while to make sure the battery is charged up.
I think that is pretty much it.
