This looks more like a marrage between a GMC motorhome and an Airstream trailer with some Airstream motorhome body parts thrown in here and there.

Alansd,

It was a little stiff when I first got the MH so I disassembled, cleaned , lubed and reasembled the mechanism. It is better but still not perfect. I can lock it with the key from the...

Can this be done with the wheels on or do you have to remove them and support the MH on jack stands?

I don't think any of the bulbs need to be replaced right now, but there are a few bugs in the fixture that I would like to remove. Plus they rattle as we travel down the road.
