I found a couple of "before" photos (the 3rd and 4th) and a couple of "after" photos (the 1st and 2nd) of the area. The "after" is after insulating. I think all of them are after wiring changes.

Please get back to us on how the TrueTrac works out for you (perhaps in a new thread?).

IIRC, I think if you hit any of the lock buttons with one or more doors open, each of those doors will lock when closed EXCEPT for the side door. That's because all of the doors have a wiring harness...

PJ - IIRC, the two wires for the furnace just need to be connected together; there is a separate supply of power directly to the furnace.

IIRC when I flipped the head on my Roadtrek macerator I had to reverse the black and red wire connections to get the correct rotation.

After you decide whether or not to put in the fronts, have the headlights re-aimed: they'll be "down bubble".

I don't disagree with anything you say here. His wrong offset will cause scrubbing, just not as much as on our 190's.

Perhaps PJ is better off on this since he has a 170 rather than a 190, and the wheelbase is 20" shorter (135" rather than 155"). Don't know for sure but I suspect that GM didn't change the steering...

My "track data" is 13+ years old but I never saw shore power available anywhere in a paddock. The use of generators was allowed and widely used, usually drowned out by un-muffled race cars. Likewise,...

There are different foams. I'd use the foam that is made for doors and windows. It is specifically formulated to not expand much and bind the doors and windows, so probably a better bet here.

Unfortunately, Dick doesn't know for sure whether or not he has a PCM controlled alternator. However, my 2009 factory manual does show the same two wires (#23 & #225) that you guys have.
