Subject: Re: 1990 Wanderlodge 40 foot Author: Rich D. [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: 01/ 22/ 03, 4:29pm In reply to: Sandy 's message, "1990 Wanderlodge 40 foot" on 01/ 22/ 03, 6:13am Sandy, We had a '90 WLWB from '93 till '01 when we bought our '99LXi43. The '90 was a great coach and we never had any major problems. I peformed many upgrades to the coach and am familiar with the "house" portion more than the engine and chassis which we had serviced professionally. I'd be happy to provide answers to any questions. You can post or email (which gets checked more often). Good luck. gman1146@optonline.net [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ]

[> [> [> Subject: Re: 1990 Wanderlodge 40 foot Author: Rich D. [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 02/ 6/ 03, 7:24pm Hi Sandy & Joe, I removed and reupholstered the cornice boards in our ’90. As I recall there are a series of angle brackets holding them in place. While I had them out I installed rope lighting and put in a switch that allowed alternating between the fluorescent lights and the rope lights. The switch was hidden inside the valance and after positioning it for either set of lights, the original wall switch is used to turn them on and off. The rope lights are nice at night when the fluorescents are too bright. It is time consuming to remove the cornice boards so if you are contemplating doing this, have the lighting supplies on hand so they will only have to be removed once. The effect was so nice I continued on and installed it in all valences up front. This “upgrade” leaves no marks and is completely hidden when not turned on as the rope was mounted in a plastic channel on the wall directly over the fluorescents. I also removed and reupholstered the headboard to match. The screws were hidden in the pleats of the fabric. Have fun! Rich D. [ Post a Reply to This Message ]
