Thanks... I bookmarked the page for future changouts. ETrailer's wipers seem to work ok so far with the above mods.

Upside...they haven’t flown off! 👍🏼

Sounds like you ran into the same issue K9AEG and I did, with the passenger blade not contacting the windshield at its lowest position on the windshield.

His work-around was what I was considering, as the arm can’t fold down enough, without enlarging the opening, as seen in his photo above in this thread.

Thanks for the tip though.

Actually, no. These are a straight beam wiper blade, same as original. Not the old style with metal supports as was modified in that picture.
These sit flat, except at the very edge where the glass really curves. The attachment pivot doesn’t hit the arm.

Ok, cool. I was reading that some RVs to switch to 28 inch blades to solve the problem and have a bigger option of blades to choose from and according to them, not sacrificing much of the wiping motion.

That was the next plan! 😀

Question about your replacement headlight bulbs....do you remember what they are? I don’t recall you mentioning in your video. Mine are so dim. And the passenger side is too high and wide. I can’t get the adjusters to to anything, so they’re completely useless when the roads are wet. The fog lights I added help, but not great, so I’m switching to KC G4 Gravity LED’s.

This is what I purchased from M4 industries. Note the coupon code for a discount. Not sure if that still is valid...

2 × HEADLIGHTS-H8/H9/H11-V7 Version 7 Headlight Kit

Which fog light did you use? And I'd love to see where you mounted them?

Easy install...Have fun!

Could be a coincidence but I just switched over to the Coleman Mack Digital thermostat YGoHom and Wyatt used. The first night it ran great! The second night I'm getting the 20sec blower but no ignition. Gas was running fine to all the appliances and all the other functions (fan lo-high, etc) are working. Not sure how to access the Sail switch or ignition to troubleshoot on the Suburban Furnace.

it’s common to think that the last thing you just did, is the problem. But then why would it work, and stop? A wire came loose? Bad regulator that suddenly reared its ugly head with too much propane draw?

Download the Suburban manual, but I’d imagine a wire you installed at the t stat, needs a better connection? Or, worst case, the tstat failed you...reinstalling the old tstat may answer that question.

YGOHOME, So, I’m watching the Going RV TV show, (always like to see what’s out there), and this couple is looking at a Prevost. Suddenly, I see this small refrigerator device, that I’ve only seen once before, (thank you)—the one YOU INVENTED!

I hope you have your patent pending...

YGoHom · 02-04-2021, 01:07 PM

That’s cool, thanks for sharing!
I had 2 other things I’ve made that were put to market by others. It’s all good! Makes me happy.
One item was being made/sold by two different guys. I had to jump in when they started arguing who’s design was first. Then I reminded them who it really was 😀

You could retire and some of those...

Hey, any pix of your fog lights and details you care to share? Thanks!

Yes, I think that the 28" would be my next choice. When at WallyWorld yesterday, I looked at their 28's and lots of choices. Also, my pass/side blade on the 32" actually is at rest, hanging over the windshield post a bit... Their a little too wide.

Funny.... I tried patenting an idea many moons ago. At that time it was really a long procedure, and didn't seem to be worth the time. But now days guess it doesn't matter if it's patented or not, because it will be on Ebay sold by China in short time anyway!

Anyone else front speaker holes look like they may have been cut too far back where the bed slide bracket impedes the hole for say...regular depth speakers? Wondering if this is a quality control issue like the holes should’ve been cut at 1 1/2” vs 1 1/4”. If your 26M is like this how did you get around it to upgrade the speakers? Pics are rotated 90 degrees to the left

This is showing the spacing of my driver side speaker, and the narrow grill clearance with the bed. Note the arm for the bed comes nowhere near the speaker itself.

Yeah if you look at where the center of your speaker is, it appears to slightly further towards the front. I'm guessing that's why you didn't run into the metal bracket. You see in my pics where the metal bracket is definitely in the way by at least a 1/4" from the top and rear.

The metal bracket you’re referring to, that’s not for the bed right! Isn’t that just a metal brace? IDK, my speakers seem like I’d they were anymore closer to the top or rear, they covers would never have fit.

I’d have to see a better picture of what your obstruction is to weigh in any more I guess.

Kidikarus · 02-06-2021, 09:51 PM

So here are straight on pics so you can see how much of the hole it's blocking. The third pic shows the bottom of the bracket behind where the bed slider grooves are. All pics are rotated 90 degrees to the left

Ok, so your current speakers worked in there, why don’t you buy some new ones and see if they clear? It look like there may be enough room from your pictures.

It’s not the depth that’s of concern, it’s the left side. The speakers angle in.

Here's a picture of my drivers side speaker. Somehow my bed configuration looks different than yours.
