We had the FOT team (David F, Michael G. and Larry) do a little remodeling for us. We had our driver and passenger chairs replaced with new Villa ones. The covering is ultraleather Brisa in “bridle”, a distressed Brisa (but only subtly so). Since we had charcoal/black as other accents in the coach (like the window valences and the piping on the sofa arm inset), we specifically ordered black seat belts.
This is a nice little hacking project for all the tinkerers out there. I replaced our double din radio / cd combination with a 7” touch screen monitor attached to a netbox. This will run VMSpc (among other things) with the in-dash monitor to create our own advanced driver information center.
We decided to replace our entry steps, the old Kwikee double-step swing out version. Many recommended the Xtreme Paint and Graphics step conversion. We decided to splurge and go for it.
We updated our old black (and faded) bay door latches with some nice new chrome ones. The chrome shop mafia approved of this update
Over sudden dips in the road, the “Level System” light would flash momentarily along with a quick “ding” on the alarm. It took quite a few instances before it stayed lit long enough to see which warning light was coming on. It seemed to get worse along the way and making turns it would go off and “ding” several times before shutting off.
Our AC condensate would drain out on to the roof and find its way down to the ground from the two side “gutters”. The gutters ended a few feet before the end of the coach which resulted in water streaks, generally on the tail end. The water streaks discoloration is unsightly and the deposits can be very hard to remove with polishing.
Our PowerTech 10KW generator stopped producing any output, it ran fine and smooth, just no voltage was being produced. The generator only had about 500hrs on it at the time. On our coach the generator is powered by a Kubota engine and the entire thing is mounted inside of a quite box to keep the noise to a minimum.
Our bedroom slide air seal / bladder developed a sudden and substantial leak on 9/2/10, you could hear the leak from inside the coach and the HWH Aux pump was running non-stop trying to keep up. Going outside it was easy to locate the leak, the bladder had a approx 1” tear along a top “seam” right inside the lower U channel.
