Any of you guys that have changed your air conditioners happen to have a shroud like in the picture laying around? We lost one of ours  driving in kansas wind and are trying to find one to match the rear a/c shroud.

Thanks! I ended up just getting two new style replacement covers. When I got on top to check the rear one it was disintegrating. I appreciate it though!!!

Took the beast to oklahoma this weekend and before heading home discovered missing and sheared bolts between the engine and transmission;. The left side was touching as it still had two bolts holding it. The right side had nothing at all holding. I was able to get two bolts in the right side to pull the gap closed. Going in for a tune up when I find a place to do it! Big mess averted!

That happened to mine under a PO watch about 20K miles ago. He had to replace the transmission after 2 bolts fell out?
Guess we need to climb under now and again to check for things like that, and the tranny mount also!

Ice goes in a small door in the back! Haha! The fan is a bit loud and rattly but the original mechanical water pump still works after 30+ years sitting on a shelf in a western kansas shed! It’ll do until I get around to futzing with the A/C or the noise drives me nuts. Whichever happens first. Haha!

Has anyone ever tried to convert their a/c to ducted? I saw an old bus in a youtube vid that they ran a long box over all the outlets and used that to distribute the air throughout the coach. Seems like an interesting idea.

Loving it!
Maybe I missed it but I have questions about your Toad and setup.
Wrangler Unlimited?
What does it weigh?
MH Tow hitch reinforced, and how? Pics?
Toad towbar?
Aux Toad brakes?
How does the MH handle it?
I have a 1998 Grand Cherokee 5.9 LTD, which is flat towable(TC in N), but supposedly is 4500# ish, so I dismissed it as too heavy.

It is a 2018 unlimited. Around 4300lbs. We had the hitch rebuilt when we bought the Moho to tow our car home. We use a basic roadmaster stowmaster towbar. It came with the motorhome or I would probably do a blue ox for east of use. I use a drop in brake actuator. The Brake Buddy classic. The beast does ok on flat and hills. I do take it super easy on her. I havn’t gone into the mountains but if I did I would probably disconnect the toad and have it driven separately. Handling is amazing though. Other than a little slower the steering and driving is unaffected really.
I have thought about doing a gear vendor or something of the type cause I am getting tired of 60mph.... haha!

This is what I saw on another...

I know my Jeep weighs right at 3000 and I definitely wouldn't want any extra weight, I'm already uncomfortably slow on long hill climbs in the mountains, and I think your 345s have an extra couple hundred pounds of weight already

Just got home from an overnight run to Austin to pick up a couple NOS street side awnings. One is 14’ and one is 13’. I may have to cut one down but they are in great shape! I just need to get the arms as these only came with the rollers, covers, and fabric.

These ended up being shorter than the guy said. I had to cut the longer one I half and make it into two awnings to make it all work. When I get them all installed I’ll have three on the street side.
