Jebster wrote: Did you go to a regular auto body shop? I have been getting quotes from RV dealers who do body work of well over $3000 to redo the whole front cap and the fade on mine isn't anywhere near what you had. I did get Keystone to pony up $1500 toward the cost, and yes, mine is out of warranty. The work was done at Quincy Collision in Quincy Michigan. Prior to shopping around I was looking at $2300 to $2500 to have it sanded, painted and clear coat. Then an additional $340 to $380 to purchase a new decal Kit from local dealers. So I see how you can get the $3000 you talk about.497Views0likes0CommentsRe: Cleaning Holding Tank Sensors

I like the "SeeLevel II" series that uses the existing wiring. With normal tank flushes, we've never had a misreading tank level. I also like that the SeeLevel II display reads in percentages instead of the inaccurate "Empty, 1/3, 2/3, Full" displays common on OEM and KIB systems. I just installed the SeeLevel II as well after first trying several ways of cleaning things. So far I'm pretty happy with these new sensors and they were quite easy to install.3.6KViews1like0CommentsRe: Faded Front Cap - Another Story

If the front cap starts to fade again in the next 3 years, they will apply the money I have already spent to the cost of sanding, painting and Clear Coating. My original quote was for $800 to paint and apply new decals, (I already have the decals). So I'm not really loosing anything.497Views0likes0CommentsRe: Faded Front Cap - Another Story

Yes I agree that follow-up at the end of the season would be good. I'll make it a point to do so. If I start to see any Fading start again, I'll also be sure to update everyone.497Views0likes0Comments
