Title: Holding tanks?
Post by: lefty1 on September 19, 2002, 02:11:00 PM
I am a 'Newbie' for sure. I need to know if there is a way to add an extension release/open handle to the grey water holding tank and if so how much and where to get it done. {It is a '77 rear kitchen on a Dodge chasis.) Also, has anyone replaced the gas/electric refrigerator with a larger one--say apartment size?

I replaced my  old 3-way fridge with a new 2-way about two years ago.  It was the same size, well slightly larger in  width 1/4".  It isn't hard to do.  I did have to remove my coach door to get the new one in but it gave me an opportunity to weatherize the door frame.  I also added some wood furring to the front edges of the fridge compartment, 2 x 2's, cedar.  I did that cuz I damaged the old trim.  Which I didn't like anyway so now it is nicer looking.  We have not had any problems with the 2-way.  I like it cuz it doesn't drain the battery.

On page 5 of issue #40 of the Club newsletter (Aug. '92), mention is made of a dump handle extension that was being made and sold by Bob Cornell, ACOC member # 045, in Sacramento. A lot of these were purchased and installed by club members. Clip, Jr. sold them for awhile.
I've seen them, and my brother has one. Don't know if they are still available, but there is a lead for you, anyway. Good luck!~

The ACOC club has a new installation of dump handles the are easy to work and both handles are mounted at the edge of the Clipper body -- easy reach.  They cost $50 and another $50 for installation.  Contact Mel -- the club supply officer.
