Hey true rider - welcome and congrats on your purchase! Sounds like you're doing it right - start with all fluids and filters! I did the same thing upon getting my RWS home. Changed ALL fluids to synthetic so there's no worries. Costly but long lasting. I have my owner manual stored in pdf format if you'd like a copy. I don't have an RWT but most systems should be alike. PM me your email address and I'll send it. I am in the process of selling my rig now but have all manuals that came with the rig. If you'd like copies I can do that. Is there any particular manual you'd like? So tell me something - a quick search and I found a conversion for CN to US currency. You mentioned you paid 180g. Is that 180,000 dollars Canadian? If so it would equate to $145,000 US? And it needed work?

I have questions for you all:
Have you followed the "recommended maintenance" in the owners manuals?
Who did you have do the work? dealer or private shop?
Do you know if they really checked all the items listed?
Did they find any problems?, brakes, tranny, chassis, springs, ubolts
The reason I'm asking is there are a lot more items than just changing the oil and greasing the fittins, and I caught my stealership cutting corners on even that, so Im wondering what else has been neglected.....

I do all my own work for maintenance. Not hard. This is the only way to make sure it is done. Well You could stand there and watch it being done. The only place that I have seen that allows you to watch is Speedco. They do not do automatic transmissions and brakes. I have used them a few times. With good results.
There are also a Mobile oil Change services. I used one in TX's a few years ago. Good service. Found them advertised in the RV Parks office.

hey @smitty2, I did not pay 180,000 for mine. I paid WAY WAY LESS then that. I came across that bank repo and the wanted xx,000 canadian for it ![[emoticon]](http://www.coastresorts.com/sharedcontent/cfb/images/wink.gif "wink") . I was hesitant until I looked online and the cheapest I found was 90,000 US. They really hold there value. So after seeing that and then researching the Allen Blue Book price for those rvs this is what they stated:
Great Condition- 179,000 US
Good Condition- 130,000 US
Fair Condition- 98,000US
So finding it for the price I did I decided to buy it sight unseen. I have changed basically everything now in it. Including the deck to a new alpine one (what a pain in the a$$ for the camera hook-up). I changed the headlights into some new projectors that look nice. Apperently all chev5500 take the same headlights as kenworths and old peterbuilt semis. I will post some pictures soon as I have a lot of work into this thing now. I am going to be modifying the garage to hold 6 or 7 stand up jetskis as well.
@ronfisherman I did all my own maintanence and by the time i changed every fluid and filter (i got my fluids and filters at cost to) it probably still cost me 500 bucks maybe more.

Does anyone have a copy of the installation instructions for the black and decker space maker under cabinet coffee maker? I believe it is a model 425 but can't validate it. I really don't want to cause a lot of damage just ripping it out.
If you need to be 10% smarter than the piece of gear your operating I seem to be about 8% short,
Thanks in advance for the help

There are a couple of tabs in the back that are pressed in and the unit slides out, then you can remove the anchors, two screws per side.

Thank you.
I found the tables but it still wouldn't move but think I have found the problem. Previous owner put two screws through the top that are covered by the filter housing. didn't have a square drive with me but will tonight and see if this is the fix.
Thank You again.

Thanks again for the help,
They apparently put the mounting bracket to close and the coffe pot wouldn't latch on the tabs so the drive a screw through the top of the coffee pot to hold it in place,
Got it off and am now in search of a replacement.
Thanks again

I have a RWT3400 Road Warrior. Having a problems with my ceiling fan for the living quarters in the road warrior, have you had to replace the motor yet? I was unable to find the owners manual on the ceiling fan, would one of you have a copy to send me?
