today I hate my airstream
Taking a old frig out is a true pain.
HEAVY..
The new Dometic for mine was 1k or so at Camping World.
I can not believe how light the new frig's are when compared to the old ones.
Putting everything back together is the real fun....
But, it's worth it...
Good Luck with yours..Posted 01-11-2009 at 09:39 PM by Silverwanabe

today I hate my airstream
I'm all for keeping things in the airstream as original as possible but when the fridge in the '63 safari quit,it had to go.eliminating it opened up the floor space and I just needed that extra breathing room.my use for the '63 is limited to short camping trips so a fridge is not really needed.all I need is a cooler with ice.ice is easy to come by without ever leaving a state or national park.an old fridge can be a pain.of course to some this is heresy .what makes it even worse is I beat it out with a sledge hammer when I could not cut the bolts off the frame.worked up a sweat,felt good actually.not to be dismayed because the goucho went too,along with the furnace that smelled like heck.the previous owner thought it was a good idea to store it for years with the window open.I'll be cutting out half of the floor as well.OK then ,carry on.Posted 01-11-2009 at 05:59 PM by richie rich

so much work getting done
You are coming right along. I am impressed! Today we bought a 2001 Silverado 2500. I think we got a great deal. It fit all the numbers and I think we will be able to safely tow just about anything. We wanted to take advantage of the end of the year sale and also have time for me to get use to driving it. Hope you have a Happy Holiday and wonderful New year!Posted 12-23-2008 at 06:22 PM by danalee

started restoration
In relation to renovations, I have a question. I have a 1974 31'....Several years ago the suburban heater 'went out', in fact, it almost blew up on me!!! Needless to say, I had to remove it. I do use the little space heaters, but now that my little niece and nephew will be going places with me in the AS, I am afraid of the little ones either getting burned, tipping over the heaters, or catching the AS on fire. The Suburban heaters cost so much!!! I need to replace the hot water heater too as it is also original and having problems or else I could go out the expense for the heater....
Does anyone have any suggestions for safer heating of my AS??? Also, I am interested in the waterless hot water system---they are pricey, but are they worth it?? Has anyone else replaced their water heater with a tankless?Posted 12-12-2008 at 11:47 PM by imeynstein

after we got her home
You have a interesting set of pictures..if you plan to remove the interior, you'll find it easiest to do.. in reverse of the original install. In other words, the kitchen will have to come out first then, going backward into the bathroom. It's alittle more work but worth it. You will find lots of help on the forum. Good LUCK~Posted 11-29-2008 at 06:54 PM by 53flyingcloud
