After getting locked out of my coach twice, @NWIP came to the rescue! For some reason, my keypad would open the cargo doors, but not the front door. Thank you Bill for giving me a way IN to my coach through the driver's window! I highly recommend this mod, but sorry I can't give details.....all inquiries should be directed to @NWIP. ?
 
Works for window gaskets also
 
This might be too simple to post....
If your basement doors are difficult to close try applying a coat of 303 surface protectant to the rubber gaskets AND the metal frame where the gasket hits the door. It makes a surprising difference.
There are some simple people here, me being chief. I did try this and it really does make a difference. Thanks!
 
To compliment the Dometic CF-80 cooler install.

Neal,

Please send instructions. I bought one and can’t get it connected to my network and have ruined 3 cans of my best craft IPA trying to open them.

Here's one for you.

I have a heck of a time getting my generator release latch to work. Pull as hard as I can and still no go. After looking at the mechanism and trying to adjust to no avail I gave up on this approach. Not a good design. The release cable is about 6 to 8 feet long that winds up and around the front of the coach to the back of the generator and has a 90* bend to get to the release latch. Just to much sloop and not enough leverage in that setup. So I drilled a small hole through the drivers side run bay compartment fished a 2' piece of nylon cord through that hole to the release latch and tied it off. Now when I open the door to release the hood latch I lightly pull the rip cord and out pops the generator. Simple.

GG,
It is called KISS principle. Keep It Simple Stupid (y). I have seen more than one Generator slide stuck like that.

Front air bag manual fill. Looks like the coach has Active Air.
