Title: Some things that worked...
Post by: dig on January 31, 2005, 12:30:02 AM
Went to Camping World today and got some things that actually worked the first try!! (I typically have to try a few times ;) )

Water Heater Door:
Mine was gone completely. Looked pretty ghetto.

Found a door at Camping World that worked very well. Suburban RV Standard Water Heater Door - 4-6 Gallon A Style - #6261ACW -

Link to Camping World Catalog Item # 10929 (http://www.campingworld.com/browse/skus/index.cfm?skunum=10929)

Oven Door Handle:
I have a Magic Chef model BT18GS-4TX (model and serial number located under range top). The oven door handle was broken when I got it. This was the replacement -

Different style that was on there, but it was listed that the original is no longer available. The bag said "Maytag" with Magic Chef listed under it. Maytag #12001180. Camping World PLU is 00015274000 - could not locate on their site.

Another item that I added a while back, but pulled down and re-wired is the bathroom light -

Oldie:

Newbie:

Combo vent/light/fan. Works well and directly replaced the old vent/fan/light that was in there (barely).  Camping World Link - Catalog Item # 15222 (http://www.campingworld.com/browse/skus/index.cfm?deptID=3&subOf=51,16&skunum=15222)

Still looking to: do the curtains for overcab, re-cover cushions, replace carpet/linoleum, find some fridge parts for replacement, finish up entertainment system.

Looking forward to getting it out again in Feb!

Not so I could steam iron.    I was TDY once to Elmendoph AK. and they put us in they old huge dorm buildings and the hot water went out the
next morning.  I really hate to take ice cold showers.    I made the door for the water heater so nobody could sabotage my heater thermocoupler or mess with it.    Those dorms were cool..... I last time I was there they were "condemned" but they had like a subterrainain level with water heater pipes and storage....they were huge.   There were like 3 of them and talk about bleak...really X-files ICE episode type stuff.
