Well, today I replaced most of the bright brass cabinet pulls with brushed nickel...all the bright brass hardware inside is going to be replaced with brushed nickel. I bought the coach a couple of weeks ago on Ebay...I was a little nervous not really knowing what I was getting myself into. Turns out the previous owner let the coach freeze without winterizing it, and yes the CPVC plumbing did suffer! I finished replacing all the damaged plumbing last weekend, fished the bird's nest out of the space heater, reassembled and reattached the mirrors (falling apart and falling off), and will be spending our first weekend in it by the ocean next weekend.
I can't imagine what the plumbing would have cost if I took it to a shop...I'm pretty handy and the parts were less than $100.00. Took two days and four rounds of fix the leaks, test, and identify more leaks (and mop up the ensuing interior flooding!), fix them, ect, ect...
The good news is the MH runs great, and drives sooooo much better that my last one, an '88 Winnebago Superchief / P32. So far I'm pretty happy with my purchase.
