We use Lysol All Purpose Cleaner when needed. 

We pour a gallon of warm water with 1/4 cup of Dawn dish detergent and 1/2 cup of Calgon bath beads mixed well down the throne of contentment after dumping the tanks and scrub out the ceramic shine in the process.  Seems to work well for cleaning and for keeping the black tank emptying better.  Lots of recipies for black tank magic mix out there.

Use plumber's silicone grease to lube the seals.  This is a great thing to have in your on-board maintenance kit.

Glad you made it home OK.  Try short trips first, build confidence in yourselves and your coach.  Epic adventures await!

Regarding the lost mirror, you may want to check with Foretravel of Texas for parts. We lost the bottom mirror from a Ramco set. It was a velcro mount, but the back plate left with the mirror during high winds in Nebraska. FOT helped me get the right parts based of coach build number. I had to buy the mirror, and the back plate/motor assembly. Installation was easy.

Thanks J.D.  MOT shipped the part today. I should be good to go.

I have two mirror motors, one large and one small that I had acquired over the years that I had FT's.  I cannot remember now if they work or not, seems to me I ordered new mirrors and they came with motors and that is why I have these.
If you can use them they are yours for postage.
