Dutch -

What/how did you hook-up the Headlights-on alarm? I'm looking to do the same things, as I discovered ours doesn't have the alarm either.

Any problem with hardwiring the TST tire monitor?

The alarm I used, from J.C. Whitney, only requires two connections in the fuse panel, and it comes with adapters to connect to the existing fuse holders. One wire goes to the parking light fuse, and the other to any fuse that's controlled by the ignition switch. The alarm buzzer has a self stick backing, so it can just be stuck on the side of the fuse panel. For the TST wiring, I picked up an ignition switch controlled wire behind the dash and a ground. The wiring harness with an inline fuse and the proper sized plug came with the TST set. In my case, the easiest place to find a good connection point was the feed to the switch for the auxiliary overhead defogging fans, since it was only a short distance to where I've mounted the monitor. Now the monitor wakes up instantly when I turn the key on.

Changed out the bedroom TV with a 22" HDTV and added a shelf for a DVD player. The TV is mounted on an adjustable swinging mount and it works real nice, this took a couple of days.

I also just finished my yearly maintenance on the Generator and changed engine oil and filter, lubed chassis and changed small trans filter.

Now I have started to change out the 25" RCA front TV with a 32" HDTV. Took good pictures of what is actually up there behind that old TV. It was eye opening to see the lack of insulation under the front cap. I also removed the steel cage and am modifying it to eliminate the formed plastic enclosure. Not all those details have been completed but I will work out that to make something that looks real nice I hope.

Installed a Dirt Devil central vacuum system to keep the DW very happy and me too as well! If she is happy so will I be! LOL!! Learned a lot about how my coach floor is made and put together. I had to drill a 1 1/4" hole from a bay to the kitchen floor underneath one of the dinette seats to run the main vacuum hose to the hose receptacle on the side of the dinette seat. Little scary drilling holes in the floor!

Said good bye to our old rig and drove our new one home!!! Hope this new one treats us as well (and even better) than the one we just traded. Will try to get pics up soon.

Today was a very sad day I had to drop off the MH to the dealer to get some waranty work done. There are some parts that need to be ordered that will take a couple weeks and the actual work will take a couple days and for some reason they expect me to wait my turn while they work on other peoples rigs that planned ahead. I think I will have to find something to do during the time I usually admire or putter on the MH..

Bought the license plate tab for 2010. Since the temps are only in the 30's will wait for warmer weather to put them on.

What I did today was to buy a class A motor home, which I guess is the first thing you can do!
