I am pretty sure you will be very happy with the results. I bet your power and mileage increases as well as your cooling efficiency. Especially your cooling efficiency. and you'll get to hear the sudden roar when the clutch engages and that 7 blade fan starts spinning. Mine sure brings the temp down in a hurry!

Meters came from MeterCenter.com. They are in Arizona and have a great web site with all kinds of stuff. All three totalled to about $160. plus freight. These are 2 pole meters and can attach direct to the voltage designated with 2 wires.

Seeing what's back there

Finally getting going again on the toy-hauler moho.

New color cameras just arrived, and I'm amazed at how small they are. Chrome (plastic chrome) shrouded camera will be for roof top rear view. The little black cube (1"x1") will let me keep an eye on the motorcycles carried in back (nothing is worse that wondering if a bike has come loose every time you hit a bump).

Just bought a 32 inch Insignia LED TV. It will be multipurpose. Guest bedroom when we are home. Quick connect wall mount of the MH bedroom with a mount to move to basically the rear view mirror position when we are parked. I'd like to replace the antenna with a dish. Any recomendations for a service (reciever) that we can use at home and take on the road. How about a compatible dome antenna.

Thanks, Dave...

Sounds great Dakota!

My win today was in storage my "Chevy Parts Box"..
A set of 3 seatbelts from my '73's original bench seat..
I think I will set them aside for use on the forward dinette, that has no belts currently.

I got mine in a few weeks ago. Are you going to re-install the sensor wires?

Brought it home from storge on Monday and finally got the time to buff it out and put 2 good coats of wax on it. The clearcoat is still in very good shape so I'll continue to preserve it as long as possible. The hood was in need of some attention so I pulled it off and stripped it. That cirtus stuff works very well! Airstream no longer has the graphics available so I had some paint mixed that matches the grey and burgandy very well. It's a metalic and is going to look great. Shot the colors today and will clearcoat it tomorrow. Going through all the little things that I put off last year.

I've got April 26th through May 25 off so we'll be heading north and east. Big family campout planned in the upper peninsula for Mother's day so we'll rendezvous with the hoard.

Hope to recarpet the bedroom and install hardwood (maybe cork) in the rest. I'll recarpet the fornt wheel wells in the drivers and passenger areas.

Pictures don't really do it justice but its lookin good!

The graphics are in pretty good shape everywhere except across the hood. I'll post another picture when I get it done.

The quick job on the hood came out pretty good. Need to clean up the letters a bit and shoot clear on it.

It's called Citristrip. I've always been suspicious of products that don't contain the "good" stuff like methelyne cloride. Very toxic and stinky. But this stuff really works. I got it at the local hardwar store. I believe I've seen it at Home Depot.
