Also, got tired of the issues with the power drop to the headlights, plus the lenses were so badly aged, I could no longer buff them out. So.....new assemblies + LED conversion kit.
Photos of after & before. I didn't have a close up of the headlamp before, but the zoomed in of a larger photo really wasn't that far off on what they used to look like. The lenses were so hazed over you could barely make out the bulb housings.

Looks good. Where did you get them and what brand are they?

Both projects look great! When I installed our new color monitor and camera system I could't believe the bright clear colorful picture I got. The blue sky's were very vividly blue and green grass was so green. Only problem was Sharon who was in back behind the coach waving at me was standing on her head! I couldn't believe someone as old...no scratch that ...elderly...no not that either, mature, yes that is a good word to use, someone as mature as she is could stand on her head waving at me! I thought Wow, that girl still has it.
Then I realized I must have installed the camera upside down! Once I switched the camera around the sky's was up, the grass was down, and Sharon was back standing on her feet waving.

Very nice.
Where did you get the new camera system?
Were you able to use existing wiring?

I have an upgrade guy, Kevin Mallory @Cruising America RV in Celina OH that does all our upgrades. He's a former FW engineer so he knows his stuff & does excellent work. I'll have to find out what the LED kit number is.

No for both the camera & headlamps. The OEM camera wiring was diagnosed ages ago as having a problem somewhere in the run under the roof. The headlamp wiring is a well-known (& documented here on iRV2) issue for which Ford wouldn't accept responsibility. New wiring was run for both upgrades.

I don't know. You'd have to find out what assemblies are on your coach. The assemblies for my Bounder are out of an 03-06 Ford Explorer so the LED lamp kit is for that particular assembly.

Replaced the damaged L-shaped sofa and dinette. Fabric was tearing and peeling. Such garbage was supplied by Flexsteel. Purchased Lazyboy Tripoli. It looks like I did not have to remove the window treatments. One side treatment is past the left side of the sofa and the second was in the middle of the sofa at the portion which does not recline. We decided to buy the fully motorized unit. My wife had a hard time operating the manual handles.
Many thanks to everyone who shared their ideas and experiences on their sofa installation.
Jim

Those both look great & the dark fabric on the sofa & dinette chairs really compliments the decor. You won't regret the LBZ's. I'm on my 2nd set (Pinnacle) at home. The 1st set (Astor) lasted over 20 years & was still going strong when I decided to change color schemes & donated the older set.

Replacing the factory sofas
We opted for two power recliners rather than the sofa style unit when we replaced the huge (96") and VERY heavy "L" sofa that came with our Class A. Best upgrade that we have done - and our coach is probably 500 lbs lighter (LOL) - your upgrade looks good and seems to match the rest of your decor.

These H13 fit mine. Double check your regular bulb number and search that way.
