- ipenExploreri put on hellwig sway bars and bilstein shocks. it made a huge difference in the motorhome.
- rondebExplorerActually done a few months ago after we took our first trip with our new to us Class C and before we headed out for a 4 month trip (we are still on it)
We had the old captain chairs, single lone little chair and dinnette taken out and replaced with new flexsteel captain chairs, a 74" sofa and had a cabinet made and put our TV where the lone little chair was. Picked up 3.5 feet of floor space and made sitting in the evening watching TV or just reading so much more comfortable.
Replaced all the carpeting and lino. Made the shower into a closet (we just use all the parks showers now)
"OLD"



NEW" We use 2 of the folding tables shown behind the lone chair as our desks and tables now. They fold up and go on the bed while traveling or when we aren't using them. We also had the little table that slides under the edge of the sofa between us made by a gentlemen off of Ebay. I gave him the dimensions and he made it to order.
This one shows the TV cabinet and how we relocated the TV across from the couch
This one shows the material that I made all new curtains with along with our shower closet (added so much storage that I could never live without it now)
This one shows the new kitchen faucet and filtered water dispenser we installed Also shows the huge counter extension we did last summer.
- TyroneandGladysExplorerNot done today but a since we got our new to us last weekend. Last week replaced EGR valve to get her to pass emissions test, generator had some issuses from not be used enough, 831 hours in 24 years, so had a complete service with output adjustments done and Gladys stowed everything away on the inside. The bed has one corner cut at an angle so cut a piece of plywood to lay on top of bed,doing away with the cutout, supporting the end with leg for support. Mattress is now a futton mattress with a 2 1/2" memory foam topper.
Got back Sunday from our first outing. Replaced the front tires today with Yokohama's Geolandar H/T-S going from load rating D to E. Tomorrow having the front fuel tank's fuel pump replaced.
As that famous pig said thats all folks, for now.
Tyrone and Gladys - BerticusExplorerWeekend update,
Got the BD exhaust Brake back and put her on the beast, still need to test it fully on the road. BD Diesel Preformance is a great company. I shipped to them the whole exhaust brake with cylinder and they could not fix the cast brake section so they sent back a new one with a rebuilt cylinder as will as my old one. This did cost a little bit but was no where the $1000 for a new one.
The RV is now summerized for the next trip.
Happy camping, Robert. - johnbhicksExplorerI dunno...once the novelty is gone for the teenagers the new way-of-life may appear for the adults...
- Pokey2ExplorerI agree. If I were in the market I'd be willing to cross the country to check out your rig. Can't believe you won't sell it soon.
Good luck! - Jtroop1Explorer

Wow, that is a nice rig for the price. If I was looking for one, I'd seriously consider this one. Are you going to buy another one for you and DW or DH to travel in once the children are grown? - tenbearExplorerFinished wiring the new car for the breakaway switch and for my homemade brake monitor. The new toad is now ready to be towed. I'll test drive it when the weather improves.
- doneeExplorerWe unloaded and cleaded it after our last six week adventure to Az and Utah and reloaded it for our next trip in May to Yosemite.
- johnbhicksExplorerApplied more POR-15 rustkiller paint. There's about 3/4 of the MH chassis still to be painted and about 1/10 of me still to be painted. :R
