Marquis replacement ceiling panels

<< < (3/4) > >>

Dave Cunningham:
all finished , replaced all of them except the large one in the bedroom

Jeremy Parrett:
FYI......check the DC voltage draw when your "rope Lights" are switched on.      If I am going to do this job I will switch to LED "rope lights" for sure !!!

Dave Cunningham:
thanks Jeremy, I'll check that, I haven't looked into the problem since it arose, as I moved on to other projects, and it has not fixed itself like I hoped it might, strangest thing I have ever seen, I could see if it happened to one of the panels, but all six?
On a good note the new ice maker arrived the other day, I installed it , turned it on , came back the next day and it was making ice. It didn't short out and catch the fridge on fire or anything, it just worked, I love it when that happens.

Jeremy Parrett:
  Well that is great.  If only our coaches could talk ..........I have spent three years trying to get into the heads of the guys who designed my coach trying to figure out why they installed things they way they did !!!
 I read somewhere that NOT ONE Monaco designer/engineer had ever driven or spent a night in one of their products !!!  Things might be a little different if they had me thinks !!!

Gerald Farris:
Jeremy,
I think that traditionally qualified engineers in the RV business have been very few and far between. In a conversation with Bill Osborne, the President of Navistar RV and an engineer himself, at the Las Vegas rally last year, he stated that when he took control of Monaco, that there was only one engineer in the whole company (Monaco). In his words, the coaches were being designed and built with "Tribal Knowledge". They designed and built coaches the way that they did because that is the way that they had always done it.
