Technical Support / Re: power drape gear replacement?

« Last post by Joel Ashley on Today at 09:16:38 AM »

Power drapes were an option for that coach and ours are standard manual.  Sometimes I’m glad for ours when the occasional issue for the electric option appears here.  As Steve suggests, you’ll need a manufacturer name to pursue a parts diagram, and then the part, which is the road I’d try.  If all you need is a gear and can determine its specs, it may be available via vendors like McMaster-Carr, and save replacing the whole motor/drive.

If the motor is best replaced they might have that too.

But look for a mfr. first.   And perhaps ask at Northwest RV Supply 1(866)678-7467 , or Beaver Coach Sales Parts 1(877)773-1032 .

Or you can get two Gadjit Cup Holders on Amazon for $11... and these will also hold a kitchen coffee cup that has a handle on its side.

General Discussion / Cupholder Adapter Idea

« Last post by Larry Lee on March 30, 2023, 11:33:56 PM »

I find the original Beaver cupholders to be useless for taller cups. Discovered 3" clean out adapters fit perfectly and now support a tall cup. E-Bay has them for around $8.50 Each or less if you buy more than one. I ordered quantity 3. Total came to $26.28 Free 2-3 Day shipping.

Hope this has been helpful to someone

Technical Support / Re: Replace driver outside mirror

« Last post by Jerry Carr on March 30, 2023, 05:13:41 PM »

Rocky it's not that big of a job, I replaced both of our units on the PT 06. The wires just need to be pulled in to the new units they have connectors. I had one screw that also needed to have a new threaded insert installed. The correct mounting units have to be correct or you may have a problem with views.  I was never happy with the chrome quailty even on the new units and I added a diamond shield film over the arms and all the face plates.

Technical Support / Replace driver outside mirror

Good Morning,  I just had my Driver outside mirror broken, the extension arm broken on both ends, by a motor home being backed up without a spotter.  ? has anyone had to replace the complete assembly themselves and if so what is involved?  I have found a replacement unit but need guidance in replacing the entire unit,  any assistance will be greatly appreciated I have to leave my current location in 2 weeks.

Thanks everyone for the feedback. I ended up taking our coach to the Tampa Spring Company in Ocala Florida and they fixed us up. They removed the arm, straightened it and also reinforced it. Took some measurements comparing it to the arm on the other side and also did an alignment check. Everything looked great. Thanks again!
