Hi dick,
Just an observation but isn't most of a Country Coach secured with plastic tie wraps?

Yes ... but I suspect that the wraps around our wiring harnesses are in a less harmful (to them) environment than those in the hot engine compartment or exposed to sunlight.

Regardless ... I see nothing wrong with using plastic tie wraps as previously recommended. Just make sure you check 'em occasionally to make sure they're still there. Fortunately, they're cheap and easy to use. As a side note, I think they're one of the great inventions! And fortunately, I've never had 'em around my wrists, as seen on the *Cops* TV show.
