Monaco paint codes are usually found on the drivers seat pedestal.
BTW, +1 more for the residential fridge.

Got the new exhaust components fitted and installed. It came out pretty nice and should last a long time. Welded the components together then used band clamps to secure the flexible tube at both ends.

Lots of room for discussion here. Might need a newer inverter/charger. You can set limits so your house batteries don't go too low. Solar helps, more/better batteries help. How often to you open your fridge at night? I am just now getting a compressor (only) cooling unit installed on my original Dometic combo. JC-Refrigeration.com They are in Indiana. Can be done without removing a window.

On the front nose issue, you might want to research other models made within the same period. When looking for a lower nose section for my 04 Bounder I discovered they used the same mold for a couple of years and on the Expedition model. Also as I found, the price can be negotiated down if the donor has some flaws that you can repair. A lot easier than building from scratch.

That's on my short list to do after our next trip but I want to change out the muffler to a straight through design. Also I am digging your gorilla welds...

You were not supposed to look so close at the welds.... I was going to tig weld them but my TIG welder switch took a crap and I just ended up using my crappy little MIG. With that said, it is sealed and the welds are full penetration. lol
Here is a pic of an exhaust I built for my old race car a few years ago out of the same aluminized steel tubing which I did a bit prettier weld job on. It lasted through several years of every Saturday night dirt track racing.

Big thanks to forum member captjake1 for reaching out to a newbie/stranger with an extremely generous offer of some front sunshades and some curtains that he was replacing during a facelift to his Beaver. Can't wait to get them installed to strike a couple items of my list!
So I was studying the firewall taking note of broken items and along with my ac evaporator and plastic cover box, I noticed my heat control valve and a small electric vacuum pump were broken too. I have found the automotive heater control valve for under $20 on eBay, but have located a new vacuum pump yet. Anyone know what car/vehicle these came from? (2nd picture below)

First, there is a plastic retainer on each of the 2 rollers that rotates back to unlock.
Then the door rollers have a height adjustment hex (3/8") that you unscrew.
Be prepared, the doors are heavy.
When you reinstall adjust the height so that the door slides onto the catch smoothly.

I see the little whit eplastic clips and can rotate them but not sure how one fits a wrench in there to rotate the hex.
