I decided to simplify the coach and avoid issues down the road.

I removed all of the heater hose to the hot water heater and the remote heater under the rear seat. Plugged the 4 heater hose holes and sealed all good. covered with new wood flooring.

I didn't buy them today, but last fall -- Speed Bleeders Speed Bleeder Bleeding Brakes Bleeding Motorcycle Brakes Automotive Bleeder Screw Brake Bleeder make this process *much* easier. They are spring-loaded check valves that replace the stock bleeders. You open them one wheel at a time like stock bleeders but don't need to close them until you're done -- the check valve prevents any air from getting back into the line.

smart Move. and if you purchase from an elevator, or farm service center you can save a Bundle on the cost of propane.

In Ohio Landmark Farm centers is one good source.
At times a good RV center gives a good Price for RV's

Replacement water valve for our Bravura toilet. The existing one leaks when the foot flush is pushed down. Will install this coming weekend. Hope all goes well.

It is a Kit for the P30 chassis.

4 Rear Bushings and straps, bolts.

1 Heavy duty Front bar complete to replace the Original.

John

I got this E mail from a request I made

Wayne Wells to RMI, me
show details May 12 (11 days ago)

John,
I would want to get our part number 1109-116 which is 1 5/8” front bar and rear bushing kit the rear bar is large enough to handle the weight of that unit but you bushing are most likely needing to be replaced.
The install for those part are very easy installs with complete instructions, so you would have no problems with the install of them. I would recommend you go to Supersteer to also get a rear Tracbar.
You can reach them at 888 898-3281 x313 John, you can also get the 1109-116 from them they are one of our better dealers. Let me know if you have any other questions.

Thank you,
Wayne Wells

I have that kit on my MH along with SuperSteer springs on the front to eliminate the front helper air bags.

I also have Bilsteins front and rear and steering damper.

I like the combination a lot.

Very handy for getting at the windshield on my Interstate! I'm sure I'll think of other uses. Check it out: Thule - Thule Cargo Carriers - Cargo Boxes For Roof Top Cargo & Cargo Trailers

The sofa was easy Myrtle.

I cut the right rear frame out to fit the gen. housing.

Insulated, sound proofed the Gen. housing after sanding and Painting the metal with rust proof.

I then purchased a piece of angle at the hardware store, with holes, slots.

used about 6 inches on the side with the Gen housing and the rest on the front side.

I used wood screws and secured the angle to the flooring. then I used the 3 holes in the frame and ran bolts, washers across from the couch frame into the secured angle.

I also painted, rolled on, Sealed, all of the sub floor
in the coach. after removing all of the tack board, carpet,
and padding. removing the staples was the big issue.
I then cleaned, sprayed with straight vinegar, let dry,sanded light, sprayed with vinegar again, let dry, then sealed floor.
laid the wood floor then mounted the couch. the new wood is run to the back wall for easy cleaning and uniformity. I can now remove the couch by 3 bolts.

to get to the bolts. lift the couch half way and you have easy access to the rail secured to the floor and the 3 bolts.
I can take the couch out myself now in 3-5 minutes for cleaning, service.
