HI

1. have an extra rubber strip for the back bumper if any one needs it

2. need to get the 2 “ inserts” for the body were the mud flap in front of the propane tank goes ….. where o where to find them

3. the “ inserts” in the rear hatch / door where the VW etc emblems go is this a standard item at the dealer or any parts store ?

4. now that I put fat mat sound deadening in the rear door / hatch need to replace the gas struts they were already weak and now with the additional weight … well not up to par ….. where are the best and the best price Thanks for the info on the seal It does close with a little force

still many things to do: lots of fat mat and insulation to instal , deal with the fridge , new water pump in the fresh water supply , get my solar panel system all hooked up , getting the remote control rear view mirror to work , and then the AC, and checking and improving all the ground connections etc etc etc seems never ending

Like I have a new job ……..

and yesterday after I moved the van from the garage to in front of our house in Venice some one between 10 am and 3 pm took a mental tool like a screw driver and

put a nice 12 inch gash in the new paint on the passenger side door down to the metal fun fun

I noticed the new ladder from Gowesty has any one checked it out seems like it will be a welcome tool to access the upper bunk etc

good to hear about the senior pass I headed toward 75 real soon will check it out….. hope to be on the road after labor day , the kids are in school and the camp grounds are safe
