Oh, it's really nothing, just the turn signal flasher. I replaced the old mechanical one with a new electronic one. The click is much louder, and it now flashes the blinker as it should.

Otherwise our trip to the coast (40 miles, or so) was totally without trouble and very fun. I'm amazed to see how quickly the furnace warms up the coach.

It's been said before, but it's true - Life's good in a GMC!

Larry, it is very true, Life is Good in a GMC.
Also, I can verify just how quick the coach heats up with an sf 30. Dang, I kick it on and it gets so warm I have to kick it off in about two minutes. I should move the thermostat up to the living area. We run the furnace to heat the thing up then rely on our Wave 6.
Glad you got to make the run. I am one of those that put a buzzer on my blinkers. I never get caught with one blinking now after I have changed lanes. I even put one on my vdub. Got a buzzer on my headlights also. It has saved my butt several times.

so now $12,025? Oh wait a day of gas...$12,225. I'm glad to hear you survived the storm at the ocean! Life is good (and warm n cozy) in a GMC!
