"I didn't see any size or weight for your RV but assume it's probably based on the GM P30 chassis. I also have a very good Turbo 400 on the shelf now with about 60,000 miles on it (practically new). Swapping out a transmission is not for…"

"Way late on this thread but I'm going the route of swapping out the rear diff ring/ pinion from my 4.10 to a 3.73. Got a good shop to do it. Would have loved swapping that transmission in but my TH400 is still great. Hoping to drop RPM's…"

"You have to take big window next to door out. It isn't hard it is just sandwiched by two frames and a bunch of screws. I had to do the same thing years ago."
"Hope some one can help here. My oven valve quit working. It's a Atwwod four burner T2130. Can't seem to find the valve at all any where. Does anyone know where I can find one or retrofit another one?"
"Thanks Philip, That feedback is greatly appreciated. And from your description, that confirms what I have expected from the upgrade. The the 454 is a torque monster, not a high end engine like a small block. Today mine runs about 2900 rpm at 65mph…"

"Hi Philip,

"It is a power converter. Mine went bad on our first camping trip. Replaced it with a up dated version. Half the size and has a battery maintenance programmed in it. I would replace it while you've got the fridge out. Well worth the money in the…"
