Rehab Project Update-'79 FC 33'

[mccoyb24]

Hello Group!

It has been about three weeks since our new to us '79 'lodge made its
way to its new home. The starter issue is being discussed on another
thread. This one will be just an update on what else is going on.

Since this unit is a twin bed model, we decided to replace the funky
matresses. Those have been ordered and as of yet, have not arrived.
The new toilet showed up and has been installed. Replacing the toilet
was more cost effective than rebuilding and reinstalling the old one.

The ceiling shrouds for the roof A/C units were removed, repaired where
necessaryand cleaned. I reinstalled those this morning, after cleaning
the interior of the units themselves. I have the forward roof shroud
removed and will be repairing that as soon as I come up with a repair
that will work. For now, that's a work in progress. I looked into a
replacement shroud. We're not paying $360 for one of those.

Next up is replacing the refrigerator. We'll be shopping for one soon.
Once that is accomplished, I'll start pulling the Suburban furnaces out
of their respective hiding places. I know that at least two of the
three need to be overhauled.

The list of lights and other low voltage gizmos that don't work properly
is long. But on the whole, I can understand why these coaches are so
desireable. I'll keep you posted and will ask questions when I get
stumped.

Talk soon,

Bruce.
