Three month update

I've had the 03 DS 4005 now for about three months. Replaced the lift pump and CAPS, yikes, not planned but it's done. Changed out ALL fluids and filters, new front Bilsteins (much better ride), replaced lenses on most exterior lights, fixed TV antenna (two new pins), installed Eternabond tape on all roof seams, installed two new bluetooth radios, one new set of radio speakers, new Good Year tires were already on the coach, restrung day/night shade, fixed bathroom fan and kitchen Fantastic fan. So, the list is getting a bit smaller (I think) and still enjoying the process.


Thinking about having the roof resealed, any recommendations?? Is Dicor the way to go or Henry's?


One problem still on my list is getting the ceiling speakers located in the kitchen to work, front and bedroom work fine (both at the same time), but not the mid location?? Oh, they do not work with the TV either, only the radio.



Great forum and thanks to all for your previous recommendations.

CSWolf, you have been busy!! I liked your update. It feels good getting things done, I can relate to that. I got the impression you know what your doing, I just wanted to mention something in regard to your stereo speakers. I trust you are familiar with "impedance" combined internal resistance applied to stereos and speakers. Most standard auto stereos only handle 4 speakers. Check your paper work carefully. 4 ohm and 8 ohm speakers get wired differently i.e. series/parallel etc. you have right and left, front and rear speakers that work, so! your "fade" and "balance" probably work as well. Adding two more speakers might cause a problem if not done correctly. Just wanted to throw that out there.

Are you sure the middle speakers aren't originally for the surround sound system?

In my 2004 DS the middle speakers only work when the Pioneer stereo ( surround sound) is on.
