New to CC

Hi all,

We're Mark and Susan, AKA "Team Snark", and we recently purchased my parents' 1997 Intrigue 36' with 325HP from them as they're in their 90's and less ambulatory than they used to be. The coach gave them many years of joy, but spent the last 4 years in storage. We're hoping to get a few years' use from it before downsizing to a Sprinter-based 24', so we're tackling all the deferred maintenance and upgrading where possible.

So far we have:
    • Replaced the aged-out and cracked Michelin tires with new Hankook tires
    • Replaced wiper blades and got new windshield washer hardware to install
    • Replaced failed Intec backup camera and monitor
    • Replaced all florescent bulbs with LED (most with ballast-delete versions)
    • Purchased 2 replacement exterior light housings from CC Oregon
    • Had oil changed and radiator flushed
    • Replaced leaking Haldex level-control valve, but now the coach rides low in that corner, needs adjusting. Looking for pointers here...
    • Replaced failed rocker switch for bathroom light
    • Purchased radio - old one missing
    • Managed to damage a passenger side awning arm, so need to replace it...

We have a list of things we'd like to do, including switching the house batteries to Lithium Ion, adding solar panels, replacing the old TVs with smart TVs that will run off our Starlink WiFi, getting rid of the acrylic bug shield that's no longer transparent and contemplating adding a Super-C/"big rig" style front bumper for peace of mind, and thinking about taking out the cloth driver-side sofa to make room for a sit-stand desk to work remotely.
