Hi everybody,
Please allow me to introduce myself. I just recently discovered this forum and I'm really enjoying reading these articles. There is such a wealth of information here. Okay, a little about myself. I'm a 42 year old self employed Mobile RV technician. I run a 1 man mobile RV service and love what I do. I've been an RV technician for the past 13 years and have been master certified for 9 of those. Somehow I managed to work on RVs all this time but never had the pleasure of working on a Wanderlodge! Boy was I missing out on so much fun . Recently all that changed when I was hired to perform some upgrades to an '84 FC31SB. This has been an eye opening experience & I am quickly falling in love with this interesting machine. I am very impressed with the quality and heavy duty construction. Nothing else I've ever seen quite compares to the way these things are built. The complexity of it's systems have challenged me in a way I haven't been challenged in some time. I've really enjoyed working on his coach, but my work is almost done here. I am far from an expert, and there is so much I still don't know, but still wish to learn. As a result of this project, I am now considering finding a Wanderlodge of my own to play around and travel with. My youngest daughter is a sophomore in high school now and I have aspirations to sell my home so my wife and I can travel full time. I may even take my serve van in tow so I can work on the road to help finance our adventures. As for my nearly completed Wanderlodge project, I completely removed all copper plumbing (for fresh water system) and replaced with Pex and Flare-it fittings. I also eliminated the sporlan valves and simplified the system (per my customer's request). On the electrical side, I installed an inverter and modified the wiring per his wishes. For those of you interested in seeing pix, I've uploaded them to this site. To view just copy and paste the following to your web browser: http://autos.ph.groups.yahoo.com/group/W...show/dddb? b=1&m=s I'm really glad I found this site and plan on hanging out and reading your archives in my spare time. Looks like that will keep me busy for some time to come. Bye for now, you'll be hearing more from me. Tim |
