- 1SGExplorerI use to own a 2000 UA and we also thought the brass fixtures and hardware made the coach look very dated.
I replaced the bathroom faucet with a residential brush nickel faucet, the toilet paper holder with a brushed nickel one and the towel rings.
I also replaced all the cabinet pulls with simple contemporary brush nickel pulls. I did not replace the hinges as they looked fine once the new pulls were installed.
My wife replaced all the window valance material with a contemporary material and removed the decorative scroll across the top of the valances.
All these changes made a world of difference to the appearance, for the better, of the interior. When we sold the coach everyone commented how much they liked the changes we made.
Paul & Sandy - azrvingExplorerWhat do you mean? If you want nickel look you need to replace all of them, right? We had the same brass looking stuff and just painted them all flat black, $1.00 a can at the Po. No way was I spending $200 plus for that. I repainted 3 or 4 of the most used ones a year later.
I also painted some of the residential style light fixtures and painted the ceiling fan a flat greenish color. $5.00 done.
I also use that $1 flat black on the part of the frame that shows and the running gear, stabilizers etc. Flat hides imperfections vs gloss showing them.
