The HWH didn't work because it runs off the house batteries and I hadn't installed them at the time.

The return line for the Fass System was sounding slow so I changed the Fass filters and this how they looked
after 5 years. With the new filters the volume picked up for the return line. All fuel and antifreeze is back in.
Ran everything yesterday and will double check antifreeze again today.

Changing the water fill is awesome it is so much simpler and it turns out that I can run off city water if I had too.

Installed the Joey Bed the other day and starting to fill them up as I'm heading for the Island tomorrow
night. The last job was putting fiber glass around the the sewer door. Took the coach out today for a short
drive and then notice the coach wasn't at the right ride height so I looked up the right ride height and made
easy tool to check the height. It's back at the height. The bulkhead rebuild was a lot of work but it's done.

Huge project. I can only imagine, the pride you must feel completing such a project. Threads like this are what keep me coming back to this forum!

I left for Vancouver Island last night and every thing seems to be working fine except for the storage
lights. I think I shorted a switch out but all the fuses are good in the fuse panel at the end of the bed.
Is there another place to look.

Peter,

On your coach those lights should be on one of the manual reset breakers in the basement behind the fiberglass cover.

Thanks Mike it is labeled brake light so maybe I also had no brake lights. Any how they are working now.

Now having rebuilding the bulkheads I would recommend calking the corner between the angle iron and the the vertical wall as water can get in there and create rust. Do the front and rear.

I have sealed it with paint but when I get home I will add Sikaflex.
