Just an FYI, it never ends.Yup. Seems like I will be pretty busy, once I get mine and get everything fixed and working.

I have got to check before ordering, twice now I struck out! For the gutter at the top of the window, magneshade conflict, okay so then above the glass? Newmar logo conflict. Bummer!
But if you're the one placing the magnets, I see no reason why you couldn't install the drip-tray, then install the magnets maybe a 1/2" lower or whatever so that the top of the magneshade starts at the bottom of the drop tray which is at the very top edge of the windscreen.The magneshade is designed to cover the glass so no, I don't think so. You could probably lower it slightly but that risks magnets not lining up as designed.

It is a bear. I used the 3M remover liberally and 4 thumb nails. The goo they stick them on with is pretty stout, but then again, you got nothing else to do....Any tips on removing that Newmar badge? That sounds like a viable option.

On mine, it left a slight silhouette of the shape, but I removed a lot of that with scratch remover. I almost think mine had the clear touched up with the logo's already on leaving a slight impression. The numbers in the front camo it also.
Would you mind sharing the parts/pieces that make up the hot/cold water control? ThanksBTW, here's a few small cheap mods I've done that have made our time in the coach better. First off, I hated that I couldn't see the controls for slides etc. without an external light. I tried motion lights to no avail, so I pulled the panel and redesigned it. Made the holes bigger and installed a couple of cheap LED strips behind to show through the labels on the panels. They are actuated by a magnetic switch on the door. Before and after pics.

Next, we were looking for a dish drainer that would fit in the small sink. Got a piece of ceiling grid from Lowes and cut it to fit the top lip of the sink.

Always looking for an extension cord outside and it's never where I left it... 40' recoil cord mounted in basement with 4 plex receptacle.

Don't know why Newmar installs two drink holders on the drivers armrest which moves the shifter back too far to use easily. Another trip to Lowes for some Oak cabinet material (they didn't have maple) covered the armrest and re cut the holes to move everything up. Also installed the window switch below on the vertical to clean things up. I put a small foldout drink holder on the dash. Also a chip clip on the park brake so it isn't disengaged by mistake.

Water bay faucets with flush hose and timer, SeeLevel monitor, and quick disconnect for the hot cold mixer. Shower head has fitting also.
