In early 2001 our 2002 # 11329 Intrigue build sheet shows $1595.00 for Coach Armor. It's still in good shape and will take rock at 60mph without cracking. Two trips to Alaska, it was invaluable.....Skip

If you are referring to those heavy plastic sheets that I see on the front of some coaches, Summit RV in Iowa has them. I just ordered their stainless armor for the lower portion of our coach and I did see the front armor on their web site.

Dave,

Have you tried using a heat gun to help make the adhesive release while you pull on the film? The film on the coach is probably Scotchgard paint protection film. If it's really stubborn 3M makes a stripe removal wheel #3M-7498 that removes films without harming the paint. If you will search the web there are You Tube videos detailing both products use.

I've got a bra on mine. Pretty mixed results - saves a lot of damage on the big surfaces but, causes some around the edges. Still though, I always use it.

EMPIRE TT, I NEVER OWNED ONE ! But they along with AR made Thorens develop the 125 II I still have. I know its obsolete, but with the straight tracking tone arm it does rather well. My Friend the retired Anglican Priest has a Technics 1100 with a Rabco straight line arm, too. Its amazing how constant his TT is. Very low flutter which my turntable has a bit. .05 as I remember. That why I want to try an Aries III. Just as I get ready to order one VPI introduces a deposited tone arm. Now I have another decision to make. I hope to get to Denver or San Francisco this fall or maybe Phoenix to audition one this fall. We have a RV rally this fall in Calistoga. I hope Judy is home so I can see her systems. TWI

My old Yamaha 350 TT is in our upstairs system, still sounding good with a new belt and cartridge. Our main systems TT is a VPI Scoutmaster, with an NOS ADC Cartridge that surprises.
However, neither one does me any good as far rock protection:)! Our old 3M film is in bad shape, pretty abused via someone that polished it with a buffer before we bought the rig. It will come off someday, but I'm in no rush.

Sorry I must go and start warming up my tubes now:)!

Best to all, and may the sound be with you, Smitty
