I have one question..On the cabinets above the stove the doors are a roll up type..Can they be painted or should I leave them as they are?

Yay! Someone with taste [emoticon]

I've never painted roll-up doors. Are they 'wood' or plastic? If they're plastic, you can use the Krylon or Rustoleum Fusion/Paint for Plastic - stuff works really well.

The roll up doors may be a 'fake' wood..So more than likely a plastic material..To be on the safe side I will probably use the Rustoleum fusion paint..

Thank-you for the tip.

Sure - it's Krylon Fusion or Rustoleum Paint for Plastic (sorry, I wasn't so clear). They both work really well, just follow the instructions for cleaning on the can.

I went out and started the engine, she starts right up, I let her run for a few minutes and when I turned her off the 12 volt lights stayed on..So, I may not have to replace the coach battery just yet. Although when I take her out on her maiden voyage I would like to have new batteries. It is so nice to be able to start the engine and have it charge the coach battery.

I come inside for a few minutes and I find myself going back outside just to sit in her.
I am so in love with this Tioga!!

I have another question..That vent that is above the cab over bunk, I need the vent part not the whole thing. The frame is in good shape and has the hinges still attached.

Where can I buy just the vent?

You mean the cap? I think they have replacement parts at RV dealers, Camping World, etc. You do have to know what style the vent is to get the correct replacement cap.

Sister Shotgun,

You had better read up on batteries and 12v systems.

The 12v Side of Life

BATTERIES--AND OTHER ELECTRIC STUFF

Both batteries will most likely need to be replaced. Batteries that are not kept charged go bad quickly.

You can put some chrome looking wheel covers on it for around $150 0r so.
That,s what the majority of trucks and motorhomes with shiny happy wheels have on them . Google or search ebay for Dually Simulators or try this link.

I bookmarked the battery information..I will go out and find out which cap I will need..

Chrome looking wheel covers sounds like a good plan.

I will now go out and drink my coffee in the rig, take pictures of what has been done so far, and then get back to work..
