Here are a few little things I find annoying about my coach and wonder if anyone has come up with any solutions, after market product, upgrades, operating instructions, or easy retrofit projects.

(not in order of annoyance)

No dash compass or clock.

No inside pilot light to indicate whether or not the water pump is on.
No ready indication as to whether or not I have AC power. IE plugged in then lose power while watching TV or some other activity and don't notice until the coach batteries are really low.

No indication of the charge status of the engine battery.
Boost switch in the transmission control panel and generator switch in the middle of the coach.
There are probably a few more I can't think of at the moment. Does anyone have their own list?

I have just finished having some upgrades done to my coach by Kevin Waite (K&M Mobile RV Service) and his crew in Eugene. They did a great job.
I now have a dash compass and outside thermometer, water pump pilot light, new hub caps, on off switch for my central vac, detailed interior, hose fitting for compressed air, new engine belts, tightend up and aligned the generator cap and new radiator coolant.
Additionally he lined up and coordinated the installation of my new motostat HD Direct TV antenna.

Couldn't be happier with the friendly reasonable on site service.
I am leaving Eugene for Salt Lake City via Bend as suggested by people on this list. Thanks to everyone that responded.

John, tell us about the "annoying" part. LOL
I thought about that after I sent it but this is actually a response to an earlier email I sent where I gave a list of little things that were annoying about my coach, like no compass and no outside temperature gauge amongst others. Others responded with some of their lit nits. I wanted to follow up and say that it was possible to have some of them fixed.
