- koda55ExplorerJust returned from Suncoast Designer's Inc in Hudson, Florida having the driver side window defogged. All the people there were great. I definitely recommend these people if you need any windows repaired. They take great care when working on your rv. During the two days I was there, they had all brands from older gasser to two Prevost. Closest food is 1/2 mile away. They have electric and water hook ups for about 20 spots. I will go back when I need more windows repaired. They give a tour at 1 Pm everyday.
Thank you to all the people that recommended this place. - UseroverdriveExplorerInstalled new baseplates on the toad and did a test fit of the tow bar, all works well. I'm wiring the lights now. The readybrake system is on the way...
- UseroverdriveExplorerJust ordered new baseplates for the toad.
- BigdogExplorerGot it all setup on Sunday and went camping at the beach in Port Townsend,wa. Had a pinging sound and found out it was the E brake pressure sensor,so I replaced it and $120 later,it's still doing it. Bummer.
Called Visone salvage today for a price on a compartment door that I damaged when I ran over a BIG rock at Home Depot trying to get out of the way of a woman cutting across the parking lot and talking on her phone. The guy quoted me $1000.00 + shipping and handling fo,in his words"that bad boy". For that kind of money,he's gonna be selling "that bad boy" to some other sucker. It's duct-taped and painted white for now. Ain't duct tape wonderful - P3TCExplorerREplaced the bathroom GFI, converted on florecent light fixture to LED.

- GreyghostExplorerI replaced the original Bilstein shocks with Konis'. Prior to the replacement my rig would bottom out on bridge expansion joints. Now the ride is a little bit smoother and it doesn't bottom out on the expansion joints.
I have a 2004 Spartan chassis. If anyone is going to replace the Bilsteins with Konis' it will require that you purchase new Front Shock Mounts. You can get them from www.rvchassisparts.com. They are the after market supplier for Spartan parts. - Gadget_ManExplorerFINALLY finished my extensive annual Spring Maintenance. This list is a little longer than my annual Engine & Chassis Maintenance list, which is done every Fall.
