Upgrades

And, a couple of other things, cummins, you may or may not be interested, but we are discussing insulation and heat control. The outside 'wipe/flap' under the kitchen slide is the only thing between the inside and the outside of the coach. The flap on ours, didn't make good contact with the bottom of the slide, and light could be seen from inside the coach. That allows for a lot of cold air infiltration during cold season. We removed ours, and repositioned it upwards so that the contact is good and no more light. However, we could still feel cold when walking barefoot inside by the slide. My wife and I cut door sweeps, like on your household doors, and using a drill with long philips extension screwed these strips to the inside lip of the slide; that stopped the cold air.

Two more things, and then I'll stop; LOL. When it's hot outside, we noticed that the bedroom closet was extremely hot, when we opened the door. I figured there was not enough insulation in the front cap. So, I called in an insulation company with portable equipment to blow insulation into the front and rear cap. We removed the 5 running lights on both, and with a 2 inch adapter, filled both caps to capacity. I don't recall the exact amount of cubic feet of insulation that they required, but it was 'enormous'. And, the difference in temperature is amazing.

Finally, I ordered a solar bronze, deep tinted safety glass, cut to fit for the door. I had done that on my last coach and it made a huge difference in light and heat transfer, so that's one of the first things that I did with this one.

Anyway, just wanted to share with you and anyone interested.

To everyone, from a 21 year combat veteran, take note, and appreciate the importance of this holiday.
