Ridiculously cheap, ridiculously easy mods to consider

Steve, do you have a SKU or Amazon model number? If not, it is useless for Neal and me.

You guys are too funny ... or maybe you are really serious???? Actually I posted this on FB as well and have learned that the cooktops (or at least some of them) came with four (4) legs attached. I guess the folks building my coach did not get that email.

That's an idea, just use double sided tape and put these on if needed. Viewable by TClod:

Be here by noon tomorrow! Thanks, everyone for all the money-saving tips plus I don't have to buy saws, routers, sanders, stains, etc.

Ours were in a bag inside the manual suitcase.

Low cost upgrade I did. Please note the cost is low. Each wheel was removed and the time involved was about 6 hours.
Maguire's Super Cut Cleaner Wax.
Mothers Aluminum Polish.

I also picked up a bottle of Trim Restore.
My old wheel well splash trim looks like new again.

Thanks Jim, I could not believe 34 year old wheels would look shiny again. I almost hate to drive it anywhere. The wheel guards always looked crappy. I wonder how long everything will stay shiny.

It's been awhile since this thread saw some attention, and with Ard's post of the new Magna Shade Floor Mats, I thought I'd contribute a poor-man's version of the same. This was a fun family project, and it added a ton of usefulness, as well as contributing to the looks of an older coach.

My last diesel was a Tiffin Phaeton, and it didn't come with any indoor/outdoor carpet in the cockpit area. And as can be expected, what was outside, generally found its way inside. Trish found a nice remnant at the local carpet store, and with some cardboard and newspaper, we made a templet. Using the templet, I cut the carpet and then were were back to the carpet store to get the edges bound.

Pic's 1 & 2 are the templet and how we layed it on the carpet before cutting. Pic 3 is the cut carpet before having the edges bound. And pics 4 & 5 are finished product, but you'll probably have to zoom in to see the finished edges.

The finished product looked great and was quite functional.

Lord Buddy, has Jeanette left you unsupervised again?

As a matter of fact...I put her on a plane to Philadelphia yesterday morning. 10 days - woohoo!

I thought I detected a false sense of bravado. . .
