1993 coronado owner.

We have a 1993 coronado also.I did all the things you did plus more.Ours is 28 foot.We live in michigan.I have a list of things yet to do. I am installing a king tailgater satellite dish on the roof. Install a hot water heater bypass kit install an air horn change the oil and filter flush the water system and a lot of other things to get her ready for the road. We have a p30 chevrolet chassis with a 454 and about 35k miles.Love it. Did a lot of work on the front end last year. New bilstein shocks all the way around New roadmaster sway bar and bushings,new ball joints and control arms.Also invested in supersteer bell cranks and 2 new tires.We put new lvl planking on the floors added fans for driver and pass.new roof lights and side lights.She cleans up nice and goes down the road good.

Neat! I didn't know they had LED headlamps! How do they work in comparison to the original?

Barrett-

Thank you! Honestly i don't know what air horns they are because they were on there when we bought her. Gonna have to look.

The LEDs got them off amazon.

I really like the way they look and just turned them on last night fir first time. The difference to the old ones is amazing.

If you want to install regular tiles on your backsplash, check out this video I found on another post. , R & R Silicone Grout & Adhesive Sealant (100% Silicone)

We own a 97 Damon Daybreak, while we were cleaning it we lost electric power to the front half of the Motorhome. We don't have any manuals or Wiring diagrams so we don't know where to start. Can anyone help us? Thank You in advance.

Sounds like you tripped a breaker if you had a vacuum maybe plugged in somewhere. Did it go off while using something?

First annual spring maintenance

Over the last three days I have cleaned the house battery terminals as they where so badly corroded the generator would not start. Added water at Same Time. Replaced relay on hydraulic motor for power slide, the old one would not pass more than 6 volts to motor. Changed air filter and that was an adventure. They put the air box in front of the passenger side tire, had to remove shield for power jacks to get at air box. Of course we broke a wire off one of the solenoids. Fixed the front Furnance , yes that worked out great. Forgot the new drain valve was closed on the water tank and blew the gasket out of the water pump strainer when I applied city water pressure to clean out the system.
All in cost me $200 so got away very well. Now I know how the systems, well those above, work. Cheap education and can see other issues I will likely experience but have a better idea how to fix them and where to look.
Terry
