- WILDEBILL308Explorer IIGot coach inspected, toped off propane and filled the tank. Now I am looking at cooler places on the weather map as the cold front has only dropped the temps to 100.

It looks like JumboJets TV modification was in a 2004 Discovery, maybe a 39S model? Did you put the front TV on a hinge so you could use all of the space behind it like the rear TV?

No hinge on the front. I did consider it though. I have to plead the 5th on what might be stored behind the TV that is accessible. - TrackrigExplorer IIIt looks like JumboJets TV modification was in a 2004 Discovery, maybe a 39S model?

Bill - RayChezExplorerThanks JumboJet! I like the way you reduced the size of the big box. It looks good. Gives me an idea on how to do mine IF I ever do it.

Removed the two Panasonic CRT TVs and replacing with Flat Screen LED TVs. Removed the VCR. Re-modeling the cabinets. Expecting 1-2 MPG increase after removing these "boat anchors".. :)
I still have in front the CRT TV and would remove it. But the box on mine is framed with steel angle iron and I was wondering how you made that part of the coach look with the new thin TV's sold now days without it looking like an add on. Can you show some pictures as to how you done it?
Front TV - I reduced the height of the box 8". The TV is 26" wide. Better visibility out the front windshield. Less than 10 lbs. I removed 10 lbs. of steel, screws, brackets, wood, vinyl, and foam rubber from the box..
Rear TV - I maintained the swivel cabinet as is. I created a filler and attached the 24" Flat Screen TV to the filler using industrial strength Velcro. The TV also rests on a solid support. I may go back and build a shelf unit that will give space for a DVD player etc. with the TV above it.
- BigdogExplorerAfter I removed that 50+# TV, I have noticed that I have only had to reseal my windshield once. I have the two piece and had to have it pulled and resealed twice as it had moved in the frame twice in 1 1/2 years.
Ran the genie and am gonna have to take it in to have the circuit board replaced as it's not putting out any AC power. That's right after getting the starter motor replaced, again. That's 5 of them. KInda figgered what's happening this time and will talk to the folks that will be doing the genie board. Push the boost and genie start and it turns over rapidly, BUTtt, if you push the preheat and fuel pump button for the recommended 15-30 seconds and then try to start it,it barely cranks over and then will pop the big circuit breaker which will be hot enuff to burn your finger. reset it and then hit only the starter button and she'll catch and start. Sooo, am thinking there's something drawing one heck of a lot of amps in there.
Also ordered a new fan today as I found a chunk about 1" X 2" and the guy at Freightliner thinks that could be part of my overheating problem. Also ordering thermostats and gonna replace them if I can find where they go. - RayChezExplorer
