Thank you so much for all the great information!  I am a pure heathen dog for not getting back to you sooner, but life gets in the way.  We have traveled full time for four years , and have had no major issues on teh road, but 2020 has more than made up for all that good luck.  Old motorhome died on us on the way back to home base in Charleston, SC in January.  Sold it and found a newer, nicer one and I would have had my hands full even without all of the Virus stuff.  Anyway, I appreciate you more than I can say! 

I actually talked with Jacob Clark, the owner, inventor, builder, janitor and chief toilet flusher at Behemoth Drivetrain in Leitchfield, Ky.  He indicated that I could indeed get my hands on the shift kit that I needed.  He had also added a single stick version of the kit that did not provide a 2 wheel Low selection as did his twin stick model.  I opted for the single stick version for $299.  That was on May 6th.  I am still waiting for a confirmed ship date.  Jacob seems like a genuinely good guy and maybe has created a monster and is up to his ass in alligators.  I don't want to throw him under the bus, but I sure would like to get my shift kit.

Failing that, I am going to follow up on the 1354m TC that you suggested. 

About a year and a half ago, we spent a week in Colorado City and did the Royal Gorge train ride and stuff.  How close did we get to you?
