Bill I wholeheartedly agree, there's nothing like finishing a project on the old coach, because now you get to start a new project. I bought my girl 10 years ago and I made a list of things to do. My first list was two pages long. I got it down to a page and a half now. It was a priority list the top of the list was mostly mechanical. I did have to do some coach priority issues though the ceiling or I should say roof around AC unit was collapsing in when I first bought the Coach. When you walked in you in your head on the AC. it was a major repair but not too difficult. The headers were broken in front and behind the AC unit. So I made two new ones by laminating 3 pieces three-quarter inch plywood. I cut the top of the header with a slight curve to give it about an inch rise higher than the original roof. so everything went back up into place. One of the benefits is no low spots on the roof any more to trap water. I used expanding foam all the way around the outside of the AC unit before I put the AC cover back on. I used the white melamine paneling from Home Depot to replace the paneling I tore down in the ceiling. That made it a lot brighter plan on continuing the melamine paneling throughout the coach. After a few days I noticed the cabinets were starting to sag. So I had to lift the ceiling backup and I built support legs between the counters and the cabinets.

That stabilized the roof and cabinets.
And that was only number six on the original list.
My coach is job security.
