    Ours only says 1700 on ownership, but came with many options. Took almost 3 years of looking to find an original 4 burner magic chef oven replacement ours was beat up and poorly painted. We got one out of a 1977 Earton boler when it was scraped out of the trailer.
    We have wet bath with new replacement taps and shower head, The 22" stove replacement is an exact match one year older slipped right in, hot water tank new 4 gallon, new replacement furnace, new sink taps, Awning replaced roller and cloth but still have original arms, replace both power cap vents with same size, new pins in main door hinges, all new pluming pipes plastic instead of copper, new cabinet hinges, most interior lights new but vintage looking and more. We have had over 10 years of searching out parts to restore the egg.

    Good luck and thank you Borden. I opened one of the jalousie window to observe the middle and lower seals that you mentioned.

    We just ordered 7 feet of black Hehr top seal from Pelland. Will let you know how well that works.

    Borden, our front window and kitchen side window are identical. They are both large Hehr Series 7900 jalousie windows. So far the only seals that we've replaced on these two windows is the Hehr 1/8" glazing bead in black from Pelland (H009-344-19 in 2017)

    Our front window unit is the same as your side window. The top seal we will try to use is close but think it will work, the middle and up sides of center section is exact but we can not find the bottom seal. What did you use for it and where did you get it.
    Thanks

    Hello Borden, actually we have replaced the 1/8" glazing seals on all of our slider and jalousie windows, as well as on the door window. On the bathroom window, we replaced all of the seals. Soon I'll be purchasing the Hehr top seals for our two jalousie windows.

    Did you have to change the seals on your side window? We have the same window on the front.

    It is unfortunate they changed the frunace design as it worked so well and uses only 0.5amps

    Hi my message may have not posted to you so here is the furnace data;
    MPD Atwood 80 series 8012-11 it has a very low current needs saving battery power for when shore power not available and the profile worked in the original location on our boler. The furnace sits on a small platform and required a intake and exhaust extension from Atwood original space meets all its clearance needs. The front vent is a little smaller than the original face.
    We just move the thermostat to the temp wanted and it starts works great.

    Borden, thanks for the information. We've owned our Boler 17 for 2 years and are still renovating. Removed, cleaned and reinstalled all windows. Almost done sealing all of the leaks. Now we are replacing all exterior lights. Next we'll replace the body to frame bolts...

    Concerning the rivets holding the cabinets to the body, most were already replaced with large bolts. I plan to remove all of the bolts and just add attachment tabs to the interior surface of the body. Thus getting rid of rivet holes, etc.
