We found the beige dual axle 22 at the dealer I purchased a 2004 Winnebago from in 2003.
Looked to be in fair shape only suprise was the furnace was missing entirely and of course it had 34 years of dirt and everything was original except for the A/C and water heater.

Fridge mystery

Posted 02-05-2010 at 05:33 PM by arcamedies (1976 Argosy 22 a work in progress)

Dometic says to clean the LP burner and flue twice a year but do not show how to access, smelled a burning odor outside and in the trailer when lite up, but stopped 2 hours later, photos show back looking upwards but can't move fridge into trailer to access it.

Levitating the awning what fun

Posted 02-05-2010 at 05:19 PM by arcamedies (1976 Argosy 22 a work in progress)

Finally figured out how to work the rails and attached the new awning rail and installed the awning that's been sitting for 2 months in the garage.

Suprise found in the fridge vent cap, glad it wasn't summer.
