Grat tip XS - thanks.
We finally decided on new flooring. We were going to go with a wood laminate but have changed our minds and are now going with a high quality vinyl laminate with snap lock closure called resista flooring. That and new seating going in. Getting rid of the u shaped dinette and switching to a traditional bench style for more sleeping area. Can't wait top it's done.

Once that's done and it's back I want to make a wiring change to the rear spotlights so I can switch them on from the drivers seat also. They come in handy for extra night vision while backing in. Currently have the wife getting up to turn them on. It'll be easier this way.

I'm still searching for a few things to add on. A good set of driving lights to place in those rectangular holes in the front bumper, a shelf kit to put up on the roof line near the visors, and a console to mount up at the bottom of the dash. When I find the right console I'm going to move the leveling system controller to the dash and get rid of the current console.

All on the to do list now - need to find of fabricate most.

You guys done any custom work at all?

Thanks for your interest/input!

Hey Smitty - were Still waiting on pictures of the remodel!!!

You asked for it. But I can't be responsible if the feeling comes to you to tackle a project like this. Ok - I didn't do it - but after seeing how easy it was I could have. The changes we made were:

New flooring
New seating for four at the dinette
New "Dream Dinette" table slide bracket
New Jack knife sofa (love seat) seating for two
Seat belts for six
New carpet on the slide out
New carpet to the walls of the stairwell
Heater moved to under the jack knife
Electrical outlet added under dinette (kids need to charge their iPods ya know)
Propane port added to rear storage compartment - no more cans carried for the grill
KC Highlighters added for night vision (model 233 - 100 watt - 200,000 candlepower)
Permanent in dash wiring for Nuvi 455

Still some things to do but they're on the wait list for now. Not much more time left to this New England season so we're just going to enjoy what we've got for now and pick away at the other stuff later.

I love my Warrior!
(So does everybody we meet)

Here's a link to the pics I've taken. Hope you enjoy as much as we do!

Continuation of work on my RWS:
My radiator started leaking after the rig sat still for several days. Found out that it would not leak under pressure, but it would leak after it cooled off under vacuum.

I pulled the radiator and took it to a shop and had the pan gasket replaced. It works good as new now.

Removing and re-installing the radiator was pretty straight forward.

Q1. How did you install the kc highlighters? under the bumper?
Q2. where did they route the Electrical outlet added under dinette from? this is a great idea!

Yes under the bumper. If you look on the bottom of the bumper directly below the headlights you'll see there's a perfect sized hole on each side. I do notice that while driving down the road the beams are a bit further apart than may be desirable. I may fart around with it in the spring. As a side note to that: burnt a bulb already! Not happy about that.

As far as where to run power from - there's a junction box in the corner under the old seating near the fridge. Tap into that. My guy actually put the outlet into the face of the bench which would put it behind the person who's sitting close to the window leg. Not a troublesome spot but I would have located it on the wall with some "exterior mounting" product like what is used on old moldings that people don't want to cut in to.

I may use that method to add outlets at the kitchen counter. There's an outlet on the hallway edge of the counter now but you have to have the toaster or fry pan or whatever on that side to use it/them. I'd rather have the option of using stuff anywhere on the counter. I figure I can tap into the same circuit the coffee maker is on and in that way I'll have power from the inverter as well if the need (traveling playstation comes to mind) arises. I know the inverter is only 1500 watts - just gotta be smart about what you're powering up.

The following items are not deal breakers, just negotiating points. which by the way, what is the ball park price? Just interested to see how much my investment has depreciated.

Look at:
Slideout cables for fraying
test all switches and electronics:
the Slideouts work with no hesitation or missalignment
the Automatic awning operates
automatic leveling system works as intended
water heaters and furnaces run
water pump works and system holds pressure
check house batteries condition
12 v to 110 inverter works
12 v house charger is charging
ask for maintenance log.
Generator starts easy and runs smoothly.
both air conditioners operate
Tires should still look good.
look at roof skin for damage

Ill reply with more if I think of it.
