A lot of fasteners but if you want to be able to disassemble and remove it without pulling the whole dash you have to be able to separate it in at least two pieces...or the mangled cardboard duct tape approach..	Out with old...in with the new.. The duct tape patch is a nice touch though..	(1 Comments) The all important "100qt cooler fit check" complete!	New AIMs 4kw inverter/charger mounted. It was no simple task getting that 75lbs chunk up in there..
Transfer switch mounted and wired. I'll wait to wire in the shore power cable until I'm farther along.	After a few test starts I noticed my steering input shaft was weeping fluid. This is pretty common on Saginaw steering boxes. The proper rebuild kit is Gates 350350, it has the 13/16" input shaft bearing and seals. You can change these without removing the steering box.	(1 Comments) Did I mention the 7hrs of frustration and 2 previous scrapped attempts...?	New 3/8" thick HDPE "Starboard" dash insert. Still quite a bit to go on this but the hard part of getting the exterior shape and the dash shape centered, cut, and attached are done.
(3 Comments) followed the rear vericle line on the propane opening and tucked it in just above it's hinge line..	no way to get around moving the fuel tank opening a couple inches...it will still have plenty of access to the fill neck..	pass side rough interior cut out, took a few adjustments to get it to sit below where I want the new mattress/bed level to be an still be high enough to clear the propane tank opening on the outside.	rough interior cutout for the pass-thru storage
