    Just tried this mod myself. Unfortunately the kit that I bought from amazon didnt come with any mounting screws and was double the price of yours. I returned it .....I was thinking of mounting the actuators all the way on the left side of the door behind the metal panel directly to the panel ...I am very interested in how you make out with this!! Would you please let us know??

    Thanks

    Thinking of removing the Sunrader front plexi windows

    I got fed up with my cab over window leaking...after replacing it and removing it to reseal over and over..I put a fiberglass panel in to replace the window. I dont have wrap around windows but the window was not flat...with the help of a good friend ..found an old fiberglass truck cap at the dump.  I used the old window as a template and cut a fiberglass piece from the truck cap. Then used car body 2 part epoxy (expensive) to glue in the piece...used screws to hold it in until it set.  Then tried my best fiberglass filling techniques to blend the new piece with the existing body. Painted over the whole thing with topside boat paint.  It didnt come out bad for a rookie and I am super happy not to worry about a soggy bed anymore!! I replaced all of the rotted wood and paneled over the inside and am now working on some lighting to brighten up the space.

    I washed mine. They are a soft material with the vinyl on the bottom. Had to run them through 2x as they had never been washed.  Washed regular cycle and detergent but air dryed.  They are faded but in great shape and they handled the washing very well....I also did the driver and passenger seat covers same type of material....did them all when I replaced the foam.

    LED's for tail lights and rear blinkers

    The rear tail light and blinker sockets on my mototrhome are mounted on the side of fixtures. Do I need to find a 90 degree angled led replacement bulb or will a regular led provide enough light? I have read conflicting information about the color of the bulbs...do they need to be the same as the lens color? I will be using 1156 and 1157 replacements.

    Thanks

    I just found some more info...the beginning of an archived article in the LA Times from Oct 31, 1982 announcing the New Horizon micro mini from a company called Holloway DeBraal. The only info that came up on a search of Holloway DeBraal were 2 safety recalls on 1985 New Horizon for rear suspension over load and dual rear wheel pinholes and cracks by the valve stems. The latter effected 5 vehicles. New Paris travel trailers and 5th wheels come up under some searches as well. I will keep digging....:detective2:

    Does anyone know anything about/ or know where I can find information about the company that made the Nova Star? Where they were located, how many units were made, why they went out of business etc...Were they ever affiliated with National RV ?

    Thanks
