Hello everyone, my name is Brent and my wife and I just bought a 1978 American Clipper.  We plan on traveling 6 months at a time as we homeschool our Son.  I'm sure I'll have a ton of questions to ask cause we are new to to the RV life.

I have some parts for a 1978 Dodge American Clipper.  One round window and 2 oval windows, Double light fixture, Speedometer/instrument cluster for the Dodge chassis.

This past year, my converter blew.  Without it, the hydraulic roof won't move.

I though I'd share the replacement I got.  It was the exact size as the original and very easy to install.

Rather than having to remove the entire cover to check the propane levels or open/close the propane tanks, I installed two boat deck hatches on the top:  https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B017NA9H6W?psc=1&ref=ppx_pop_mob_b_asin_title

Now I just pop open a hatch.

P.S. I liked the style linked to because it has actual fingerloops to unscrew the hatch.  Other versions just have indentations for your fingers - which are more difficult if your fingers are stiff from the cold, arthritis, etc.  The fingerloop design is also easier if you're wearing gloves or working in the rain.

Thanks so much!  It looks good at my end.  I'll do some perusing to make sure no other issues.  ClipperJoe is wandering aroind also.

This message is as much a test as a notice. The forum software was too old and a server update rendered it broken.  I've updated the forum software and think I have the database reattached, so everything should be good for a while now.

Also just saying Hi as I don't get around here much these days. It's only been 16 years since I sold my Clipper lol. Though I do sometimes wonder where it is today... last I saw it, we delivered it to a nice lady in Chico. Hope everyone is doing well

Greetings,

My Magic Chef propane stove oven stopped working.  I have narrowed it down to the thermostat but  can not fine one or anyone to rebuilt it.  Any help work be appreciated! 

Thank you very much!
I'll give them a look 

Battery for coach internals
Apologies the 300kb limits on images means a dark photo 

OK so I'm not sure what is going on with the power center. It is original. Seems to work. The battery for engine is wired to the secondary batter for the coach.
Everything runs through the power center. Fuses look good. As I have power only batter only and charging battery when shore line 30AWG is plugged in to a 120 extension cord.

Perhaps this is where my issue is?:
I bought a 12 AWG 50ft extention cord, I run it from an outlet (120v) in my house to the shore line 30amp cord for the RV (have 30 amp to regular plug converter plugged into to couple the two.
My batter does charge. Powers the fridge and water pump and even the a/c unit as well as lights that are wired in. Yet my 120v wall outlets do not work...

Sooo I have attached a picture of what I think might be the issue (120v cord not connected to anything?) And I will add pictures of the batteries and wiring around the power center.

Just don't wanna mess up and fry the battery.. pretty confident you do NOT plug 120 directly into battery lol I know an inverter is required for that.
But any suggestions or even wiring diagram(s) would help a lot. Thinking if the disconnected 120v cord does register on my volt checker maybe it was originally set up for a inverter?
Just very confused.
Thank you.
