This link is so cool. I think it is the building 0f a 69 or or early 70s. It captures the 60 early 70s style of marketing. The music, hairdos, technology, so cool. Wonder the dealers are posting great footage on youtube. Oh, the road test is really great!

Got the new black tank and freshwater tank in!
The constructor picked a black tank that best used the existing space as modified by the PO. He talked to two different companies who narrowed the search for him, (bad scribe that I am, I didn't keep the notes) reviewed the many options and settled on a 23 gal tank. What a relief to have the right capacity for our stays.
The new fresh water tank was easy to find and an exact replacement to the 40 +/- existing tank. Now I can fill the tank and not flood the cabin from over filling as all is right and tight!
Boondocking here we come, well as soon as hunting season is over here in Florida as the places we know of that are pretty to hike are just not safe during hunting season.

Plumbing Review
We were questioned about our plumbing redo. The constructor does like to type (he would rather be working) so I will do my best to explain what he did. When I figure out posting multiple pictures, will post them.
We live in Florida so didn't need the furnace, it was removed but the box it was in was left in place. All the copper lines were removed and replaced with pex and shark fittings. We installed a new instant hot water (Girard - not near as high quality as the Precision, workable for the price) and were able to use the original ext. hatch cover with a modification.
Added a drinking water faucet on the kitchen sink water filtration system (GE 2 Cartridge)

I have just bought a 1972 Trade Wind, among many things to fix let me start with the shower. It has evidently been leaking and the molding about thigh high is buckled out and a lot of white filler or caulk is evident and molding and wall is separated. What is best to fix this?

The constructor is at work so this is the apprentice's advise. Make SURE the leak isn't from outside from a seam or the roof vent 1st. Post your problem with pictures if possible. I would post under general interior asking for help and of course search all you can. The construction will weigh in this eve. Good luck with your project, we so enjoy are ole Haily not only traveling in her but taking care of her too.
