    I think I got lucky buying a Mep803A form auction!

    Does anybody remember the $100 hammers and the $600 toilet seats and the $3000 coffee makers that the government was paying for back in the 80's? Well right after I got my MEP home, I reached out to a company that distributes parts for the MEP's and asked for a quote for the exhaust flap. I...

    Not yet....need to charge the batteries. But hey, I swapped the switch after just getting home from having three tooth extractions!

    You guys are awesome! I have it wired and yes, I made sure the wires were clearly marked which also included where the diode was/is connected! Sure is great finding people to ask questions!

    While I was taking the old switch out, I didn't notice this jumper. It looks like one is pre-installed on the new switch between 4 & 8. Is that correct? That is how I installed it.

    I received my new Master Switch. It is a Version 2 switch by Kraus & Naimer with the blue square base which will be replacing the Version 1 switch with the blue round base. What's the best approach in doing this swap? I see that the wires are marked but before I start disconnecting I will...

    This is great info! While I wait for my Master Switch, I will be looking at these items to fix.

    If I were to remove the genny from the trailer, what would be a fair ask price to sell the trailer?

    I have one of those too (a wife that is) who thinks I have lost my mind in buying this. It's the usual conversation.......What do you 'need' that for and I always have to explain there is a difference between 'needing' and 'wanting'!

    After some thought and hearing some wisdom from you experts I believe I will be doing this and forego the flap.

    Thanks Guyfang, I will follow your advice! Any other pics I could take to post for more input?

    Thanks for the great tip! I just checked mine and it seems that fix has not been done. I will get the fuse block and fuse in place before I try to start her up!

    Thanks for the details on that exhaust flap. Maybe I can make one after all! I took some closer pics to share.....

    I thought about that too. Take some thin stainless and bend to shape. Can someone take some close-up pictures of the exhaust flap on an 803 and post? Seems like 1/8" thick might do it. Any details would be greatly appreciated.

    It sure is! The one thing is the exhaust flap is missing so they plumbed the exhaust down. I have been looking for a replacement (original) but have had no luck. Anybody have one I could buy? Otherwise I will be getting a small tractor flap and re-plumb straight up and mount that on top.
