Just amazing! The couches look great, more comfortable than mine do. Where did you get them. Are both convertible?

We found the sofa's by accident.  they had them at Menards and the were a dark color so we are using them until we can decide on the color for the interior.  and they have wall-away recliners on each end.  and went thru the front door with ease.  I don't think they will last long but we are just weekenders so i think it will last uf for quite a while.

I ordered the camera system thru RVCAMS.COM and emailed Tim Lazaroe. He was very help full.  I told him what I had and what I wanted and I thought I wanted a motorized back up camera with sound and I forgot about the motor being in the rear so I am glad I did not waste my time with the extra wires. and I went with his recommendation a voyager system with 4 way monitor and two side cameras  and all the connections so  I did not have to rewire anything. just hook up the power wires and everything else was a plug and play. I have the rear camera put in and hooked up to the Javelin system and it worked perfectly. I have yet to install the side cameras.  I would highly recommend them. I'm usually cheap but this is not one thing i wanted to be cheap on. For now i removed the Javelin monitor and double side taped the new monitor in place. I want to use it a few times to make sure there is no glare before I permanently mount it.  I'll try to get some pics of the monitor when i get home.

Put the carpet in this weekend, and I need to finish up with the transition strips.
Finished up installing the last section of the boogie lights. and a travel switch.
My DW spent the weekend touching up the walls and cleaning up after me and the boys.
This weekend coming up  should be engine and mechanical maintenance.

I just use the Quote button in the post then scroll up to the portion of the post that I don't want and highlight and delete it. I like this method since it has a reference back to the original post. Be sure to add YOUR text after the closing [/quote]

It will look like the code below in the post reply box but look like the above in the post. Use the preview button to be sure the post looks like what you want. Also a good time to spell check! Yes guilty as charged. :(

Side chrome lights are for the back of mirrors but they work great and have turn signals built in and doesn't blind me in the mirrors.

They're expensive but they're so slick I think they're the first ones I've seen that are worth it.  Those would look great on my coach.

Great looking coach!  Did you get the side cameras sorted out? 


I ordered the camera system thru RVCAMS.COM and emailed Tim Lazaroe. He was very help full.  I told him what I had and what I wanted and I thought I wanted a motorized back up camera with sound and I forgot about the motor being in the rear so I am glad I did not waste my time with the extra wires. and I went with his recommendation a voyager system with 4 way monitor and two side cameras  and all the connections so  I did not have to rewire anything. just hook up the power wires and everything else was a plug and play. I have the rear camera put in and hooked up to the Javelin system and it worked perfectly. I have yet to install the side cameras.  I would highly recommend them. I'm usually cheap but this is not one thing i wanted to be cheap on. For now i removed the Javelin monitor and double side taped the new monitor in place. I want to use it a few times to make sure there is no glare before I permanently mount it.  I'll try to get some pics of the monitor when i get home.



((Side note the system I ordered off Amazon for my Newmar was junk and I spent 3 days figuring out and ordering the right connections. and the camera was not clear and the field of view was way off. I could see the hitch but noting else. like the camera was made to be mounted low.))
