In the last week we changed the PCV valve and grommet (just for precaution in the emission system, cheap replacement), and the thermostat. I bought a 10g extention cord today to verify the rig works on shore power, so next we will replace the deep cycle battery to see if we can get coach power without plug in. We have 3 or 4 lights to reinstall, a bulb (or all 3 flourescent fixtures, because i am picky) to replace, but otherwise everything works so far. We still have not checked our oven/stove.
We are refraining from doing any valve work yet. We aren't sure if we will need to move to an rv park in the next month or so, so we are trying to keep the engine intact until that point.
LED lights are better than flourescent ... brighter, far less power consumption (batteries last longer), and last longer. Downside is more expensive.
A couple of years ago, I hooked up a small LED light to a 9 v. battery and left it running continuously ... 1 year later, it was still putting out light, although much dimmer. Replace the battery, just to make sure the LED wasn't wearing out, and it came back up to original brightness.
