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.
