Hi Rosannah. Congratulations. I've been following your story
with interest because I soon hope to have a similar success
story to tell about finding a new motohome for ourselves. (See
message #1123.)
Regarding the TV: I would be a bit worried too. May I suggest
that you test it by running it for quite a while, but checking it
every 20 minutes or so. If any part of the back gets too hot to
touch, (assuming you can somehow get to it), then you probably
need to modify the installation.
Lastly, I'm looking for a coach with a deep showerpan (mini tub).
How deep is your Odyssey? Tika

Thanks for the encouragement and advice, Jack Redman and
jacka2,
Tommiez, Rednipcan, and all--I really appreciate it.
We're looking forward to taking a weekend trip as soon as
possible,
hopefully by May. Before we set out, I want to get the repairs
made
to the Toyota, including the exhaust, steering, and air bags. My
husband did get the Chilton's manual, and it's been helpful
already.
One last question (for tonight!): The folks we bought it from put
a
10" or so television into one of the upper cupboards, and put
wood
trim around it so it's sealed in. He used open-cell foam to
cushion
the tv and make it fit into the space, but this can't be okay, as
electronic equipment must need more ventilation than this. I
wonder
if it's safe for it to be in a cupboard space at all--does anyone
else have any insight or experience with this sort of issue? Is it
okay for the tv to be inset like this into the cupboard space
above
the couch? Will it overheat and create a fire danger? Any
thoughts
or opinions welcome.
best,
Rosannah
