Skip,
Replacing a gear box is not rocket science, if you have access to an air
chisel and a "pickle fork" it is suprisingly easy.

I would strongly recomend purchasing a factory serrvice manual if you don't
have one already. It outlines this procedure and will probobly save your
bacon in the future. You can get one from Cinnabar (1-800-720-2227), give
Anita there a call.

The twin bed, dry bath floor plan is a sought after coach, not many were
made. I know Coachman built that plan and I believe I have worked on an
Avion like that as well.

Dave Greenburg, do you know the #'s on that model for Skip?

Enjoy your coach.
