Guess I'll get something on here to show off. Picked this up a few months ago and have been chipping away at my list this winter.

'78 Royale, Front Kitchen dry bath w/ 'Lounge' in the back.
Near as I can tell almost completely original aside from exterior paint, front seat upholstery and carpet.
Interior pictures in my intro thread HERE.
First step clean the mouse mess and nests. Ongoing project, but I got 90% of it.
On the drive home it seemed under-powered so that was at the top of the list. I have since found the advance weights sticking and bound up in the dizzy and the throttle plates only opening the primary side. I have some new weights and pivots to install and managed to get the throttle to open most of the way by tweaking the pedal assy.
I have also eliminated the non-operative TVS system and a few other portions of the vacuum/throttle/ignition controls. Once it warms up a bit I'll check timing and see what needs to happen to get full advance. It's a late model CA emmisions vehicle so it has a vacuum retard/advance which I've removed the retard function from.

I was trying to clean up the vacuum lines on top of the motor, but retaining the double Evap kept it pretty messy. At least I got most of the mouse nests out.
It will also get a decent cleaning when it warms up enough to get the pressure washer out.

Between GM, Coachman, and multiple previous owners the wiring under the hood was a mess.

I deleted all the house charging hardware and most of the PO wiring. Tried to tidy up GM's wiring a bit, and rerouted coachmans silly wiring.
I also Added relays for the high and low headlights. Ran the starter battery cable directly to the battery.

After sitting a couple days the rear suspension had leaked out and was sitting on the stops. It's possible I left it in 'Auto' when I parked it, I was not entirely familiar with the functions at that time. It also took forever to pump up. Having heard the original pumps were not he greatest, I decided this was a good time to upgrade to a Viair pump.

I determined that I have the ElectroLevel I system. I got a good deal at amazon on an open box Viar 480c. It just fits. I replaced the original relay and plumbed the air so it will be easy to add a line and larger reservoir in the future for airing up tires. I also found a leaking fitting and replaced it with a push loc fitting.
I then built some ramps and parked it on them for better access under the coach. I placed some jackstands underneath to catch it when the bags deflate. I was very pleased that it took almost 2 weeks to drop 1/2" to contact the jackstands. (Jackstands not pictured)
