You know...just in case, whatever scenario you can come up with.
Anyway, I got a fairly good deal on this 1996 16' SD. So, I started making it my own....as you will see.
I replaced the water lines except the ones under the breakfast area up to the shower.
I replaced the water heater with one I can flip a switch thats inside the cabin and it comes on.
I replaced the
fridge with a 12/110v Danfoss compressor type.
I replaced the heater with a Cubic Grizzly wood stove.
I have roll out storage under the permanent bed.
These are things I did for me.
One thing I haven't done yet but am about two seconds away from doing is taking the
awning off. I love it when extended, but cannot get it to properly roll up.
It has made me feel like a "Darrel" (smile if you get it).
I hate that dirt and everything else gets stuck on top of it.
I can do
fiberglass work so thats not a problem.
My plan would be to put up a bag
awning if I do take the Dometic down.
My biggest problem right now is
electrical . I believe ima have to replace the converter. It wouldn't charge the
battery past 12.1 last summer.
I have 2 separate
solar systems (one for
fridge and one for everything else). But, would still like the option of a converter.
The other elec prob is the 7 pin. According to the diagrams I have looked up, my wires don't match - I can make it work except for the brake
lights. The left and right turns come on but not the bright brake
lights. Also the rear running
lights seem dim to me.
One thing I'd like to do and can't find, is do away with the 30 amp extension cord and put a 30 amp plug in where the cord comes out of the body. Anyone have a link to such an animal?
Here's some pictures....sorry, its dirty.
Couldn't figure out how to add comments under each pic....
1) Cubic Mini Grizzly..I also have one of those fans that is heat activated. Put it on the stove, it gets hot and starts turning.
2) sideways pic is the cabinet i built . It serves as a wood box.
3) 42 lt.
Fridge its on a roll out shelf. When finished, will have a drawer on top.
4)
Battery and charge controller for fridge is where the
microwave was. I don't use microwaves. Still have it though.
5) this is where I'd like to put the 30 amp plug in.
Thanks for reading.
Any and all input is welcome.
