Just want to follow up on cabinet installation the right hand cabinet required three screws into the 16" center wall studs. The counter weight and vibration caused cab to pull away from wall not fully but where it was noticable.
No problem measure 16" on center from corner of slide and placed three long self tapping screws into metal studs, my cabs are real solid now.
My cabinets had 1" boards on backing for mounting top, bottom and center.

Great upgrade!!!!
Where did you get the cabinet light in the next to last picture?
THANKS!!

grtharris, I think I picked them at Arlington RV in RI. there a Newmar dealer I should think Winnebago would have them or maybe you could order them from Myers CW. I don't think they are just a Newmar exclusive.

Hi, Just a quick question
I watched the videos on newmar's website
they showed those metal studs with wires going through them, how did you know the screws you put in weren't going to hit any wires??
Oh Gosh I'm so stupid, never mind I just figured it out the table is on a slideout..
Correct? Anyway good work..
I would be soafraid putting screws in not knowing whats in the wall or floor..

Been camping BLT, but to answer your question the screws are to the right of any electric wires 110, the 12v wires are run from the other end of slide. Been to factory tour 4 times and take pics while they were building MH.

Hi 007,
Great work!
I see you got the cover off the "A" pillar. Mine is held on by some leather (or faux-leather) buttons; your's too? How do you get them off and that pillar cover off?

I also am mystified as to how to get at the speakers above the drivers and co-pilot's seats...there are no fasteners visible and I don't want to damage anything on a fishing expidition.

Is there anyplace online (or elsewhere) that shows how to open up a coach like this? The Monaco Cayman I worked on for a friend was very easy...because the interior construction was comparatively poor. This is built very well.

Larry, the leather buttons may pop off the screw heads or they may be the head of screw. Try turning the button to see if it backs off the panel if not than it must pop off the screw. Use a wide blade screwdriver.
The speaker mounts are screwed into the wood panel under the cloth fabric the wires will dress up to spk locations thru A channel there is room to hide wire in back of panel.
The fabric panel will drop off ceiling if you back off screws holding panel.
On a MA I had placed the surround spks in the cabinet behind grill panel, under the radio spks, used velgro to hold in place on carpet of cabinet floor.
You would not have to mount outside on fabric panel.

Larry how about some KARMA everyone will know where you hail from the Newmar forum.
If you are ever in Newburyport area give me a call can show you how.

I had mentioned earlier about swapping the bedroom spk hookup with rear kitchen spks so I could use the FAD control off radio to control the kitchen spks. Well when you remove the two panels from in back of over head blowers this is what you have.


The wiring is all marked for all ckts weather spks or outside lighting, RR left spk and LR spk for bedroom spks etc,etc. Will just have to swap the wires with the front kitchen spks coming from the radio.
The two kitchen spks I will have to run a wire from each, because they are a muiltible of front over head spks, to splice into radio spk outputs.
When its all done you have a better balance of sound between the kitchen spks and the front over head spks.
Should sound great with the new Digital MP3 Player.



When your done all wires will coil up and dress to the left of the opening make sure thats where you put them I found some of mine stuck in front of blower unit on sharp edges of metal blower unit. Plenty of room for wires on left.
While you have this area open check for sawdust and vac it out or the sawdust will wind up on your dash.

Just to let everyone know that when you pull out your VCR and Cable selector box you can fish a wire thru the hole for TV cable to the driver side wiring location and the fish will drop down in front of your windshield.

There is a space between the deck for overhead fans and windshield. This info is good only if you want to swap out your kitchen spks to work off FAD control on radio.
I have all the new wires in just have to swap the leads from radio to spks.

Its so much fun just tinkering around the old girl.

Question for "007"

What kind of MP3 player did you get? Where does it get it's power from?

I am thinking about buying 2. one for the MH and one for my daughter (who hates our music) that way she can use headphones.

Thanks Lee

My MH has the exact set-up as yours
