I am continually tinkering and improving this coach. The shore electrical service got hooked up and it worked fine - rooftop AC, Fridge, microwave, outlets, fans, etc working well. The generator runs too, but there is still something wrong with it. The coach also has an inverter. Newer alternator. Dash AC is nonfunctional but the coach has the coolest fans. The leak in the bedroom window is fixed and dry... repairing the minor damage below the bedroom window.

Air shocks?

Could you mean air bags?

I just bought this coach from Gordon . I was pretty nervous about any hidden problems but so far it runs flawlessly and looks like it is going to be a good restoration project. I was able to drive it from Dayton back to Michigan towing my car on carrier and it never missed a beat. The air shocks are not working but with the p37 chassis it really rode smooth. I think my first project will be to redo the roof covering.
Thanks

Front airbag aren't to bad to install. Getting the old hard bags out is the worse part of the job. After jacking the coach up I take a good serrated knife and cut the old bag thru the spring and then peel it out thru the hole in the bottom of the A arm. After doing mine I got recruited to help a couple of friend do theirs.

Hey, I hope you can share some photos of your project! Hey, don't believe that guy who said the P37 was a myth. You just got one and the ride is superior. The rear airbags were functioning that day you took it home. They would hold air for a few days. It makes a big difference if they still work. I'd pump up beforehand. Good luck, Larry. Oh. By the way, I have the three touch up paints. Do you need them? Gordon

Correction: what appeared at the time to be minor damage.. Here is the "fix" I attempted: I stopped the leak with clear silicone sealant and watched it dry out despite very heavy rains. Then I tore off a piece around 7x12" of wallpaper from the back of the cabinet and used it to cover damaged wallpaper below rear window leak. It was a neat little fix but uncovered mold behind the bedroom cabinet wallpaper at eye level.
