Two observations:
1) If you use Latex foam insulation (e.g. Daptex) on the inside of a
window frame that is not yet caulked/sealed, you get a mush that
approximates shaving cream flowing down the inside of your coach. Stick
with the urethane.

2)We received our new transmission pan from Ragussa. It is a work of
art. I am going to start a galery of custom GMC products

One thanks:
To the couple who suggested Wilsonart Valley Pecan as a matching
laminate: You were dead on..a perfect match. Ordered several sheets
today.

Several questions:
1) Our coach came without a parking brake. Missing was everything from
the cable attached to the hand brake through the rear covered cables
attached to the rear brakes at the brackets..A very reliable source
suggested a hydraulic lock out for a parking brake system. In our state
(Connecticut), apparently, you need a mechanical system to pass safety
inspection.Where is the site that shows the neat parking brake system
with the pulleys? Was it Heinz? What is the URL? I access my GMCnet on
four different computers between home and work. I need a better filing
system (How about a WAN link to Paul Bartz'computer).

2) I have heard over the past several months about the GMCMHI (?) parts
interchange reference. Where can I find/buy this.

3) Who has the contact information on the Digipanel? Our dash fell off
after bouncing around the cab during the second half of the I-94
incident. This may be a contributing factor in the Automatic headlight
turner-offer and Automatic random windshield washer sprayer. Being a
RadioShackaholic we am dying to dig in. We figure that now is as good a
time as any to install the Digipanel.

Emery Stora take a bow:
Ron - I found that Wilsonart plastic laminate P361A -- Valley Pecan is a
fairly close match to the walls in my 77 Kingsley.

Emery, I want to apologize to you. I did not mean to refer to you as a
couple. I thought I remembered a couple responding. Kudos to you for
your suggestion. I am looking in to the thinner version for the wraps.
