And quite a few have put in 4.56 rears and every one liked the results...that is on my to-do list when I get some spare $$ to play with.

On my 89 seabreeze the exhaust pipe was extended about 8 feet with 2 90 degree bends to exhaust it out the back. I am sure that puts more restriction on the exhaust. As soon as the muffler needs to be replaced I will do what you did and exhaust it out the side behind rear wheels

I like those...but will wait and hope the price comes down...most of the flat panel leds I put in have a row or two of unlit leds...the couple corncob style are good so far, but not as old as the flat panel.

Cold air is heavier than warm air so you would have a cool floor and a hot ceiling!...plus the other problems already posted.

When I bought my seabreeze I knew nothing about tire age, they looked good with no sidewall cracking....then when I learned and checked, I found out they were 19 years old!...further checking showed cracking in threadlines so I replaced them all.

My 1989 sea breeze with 3.0 averages 12-13 mpg at 50-55...the 3.0 is not known for good mileage!

Linda...how is the mattress holding up??..It is not a very high density so I was wondering how it is doing! Does it spring back up each morning or is it showing depressions??

You dont need a double flare for a fitting that will have 11 inches wc or less than 1/2 # of pressure on it. We used single flares on refrigerant lines that had 250# pressure on them with no problems. On brake lines you want double flares.

I never liked the fabric on sofa and dinette, and sofa was too narrow to sit sideways (only 18" wide) and was not comfortable as a sofa. I took the sofa out, framed the walls to support plywood, new foam and new fabric (now 29" wide). Also did the dinette seats with new foam and fabric color more to my liking. Dinette seat foam was so soft it flattened down to nothing! Used new high density foam with ILD of 50 for dinette and ILD of 36 for lounger.

Uses no coolant, only about 5k on jasper engine so figure not head gasket....doesn't the coolant sensor tell the computer engine is cold at start-up and computer changes gas/air mix?...I really don't know and was hoping someone hear had ideas!

Hi, my 1989 sea breeze runs terrible for about 3 minutes till it warms up. Then it runs great. I am guessing it could be the engine coolant temperature sensor. Anyone agree with this or have other ideas what it might be?? Also, which sensor is it of the four sensors back by the firewall? And does anyone have a part number got the sensor? Different sites are giving me different part numbers! thanks in advance, RVdaytrader, (steve)

the cover they give you to fit in half of sink was warped and just too small. Got a piece of HDPE and cut as shown in pics. Slips over faucet and stays in place nicely, and comes off fast to use sink. I usually just wipe and dry my dishes with paper towels, but have use of sink as needed. Makes prepping meals much easier!

Here is a folding 120 watt panel at a good price...I made my own up before I saw this one. I have 30 foot #10 marine wire off panel to controller mounted close to my battery. This way I can park in the shade and put the panel in the sun. http://www.ebay.com/itm/80W-100W-120W-watt-12V-poly-folding-foldable-portable-solar-panel-kit-for-RV-/171311780467?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&var=&hash=item27e2fa5273

That's the only way I am able to get the dipstik back in on my 89 3vze!...it is the hardest to reach and get back in of any vehicle I ever owned!!...I swear every time I check it!!

I removed my ladder and useless roofrack, filled in and painted over holes. I have a telescoping ladder and find it VERY stable leaned against side of RV! You put it where you want to check out and do not have to walk on roof like you would with the rear ladder. And I find the inclined tele ladder easier to climb than straight-up attached ladders.

I use a dc/dc converter to keep my laptop running all day. input is 11-15 volts and output 19 volts (what my laptop uses). Powerstream has an assortment.

the bathroom faucet dripped in my 89 seabreeze...walmart had the complete faucet for $10...hardware store wanted 10 bucks for just 1 of the valves!

Hi Sara...check in the area under the bathroom sink...mine are small plastic handles that you pull up, they dont turn...enjoy your new rig!

After reading these posts I went out and checked my lugs...still tight after 700 mile trip...just use the tool that came with Yoda as I want to be able to remove them out on the road if need be.

LOL...I curse up and down whatever fool designed that diptube and stick every time I check the tranny fluid!! Its almost impossible to get my hands in there to even get it out!

Wow, sorry for your loss...made my stomach churn looking at those pics...I have the same MH but an 89 with the same color and layout. Hope you find a replacement soon!

We have 2 kayaks on the roof. I made a rack up with 1.5x2" aluminum to span the width of MH (did not want to put weight on roof). I got a telescoping ladder that I lean against the side and slide the kayaks up or down. The telescoping ladder is very stable, much better than trying to use a step ladder. I can put both kayaks up or down in about 10 minutes.

Thanks for the ideas...now yesterday I drove from Show Low, AZ to Durango, CO and it ran good until the last hour maybe. Then seemed boggy again. I did notice that there was no pressure (or vacuum?) when I took gas cap off when it was running good. The last fill up after it was starting to bog down, there WAS air rush (in or out) when cap was removed. The converter did come to mind, but would a bad converter problem be hit or miss, run good then bad?? Will have to check codes, maybe today, but it is time to prep Yoda for his long winter sleep!! *sigh*

My 89 Seabreeze with the 3vze engine runs great with ample power for about an hour...then it bogs down and has to downshift for any incline!...I don't think its an engine problem or it would do it all the time. Could it be a sensor or something?? Seems to roar when it gets boggy. Any ideas??

Big808 or mulwyk...how are those backup cameras working?...I like the big screen, my eyes not as good as they used to be!
