Found this video, which is supposed to be a generic guide. Looks like it is poke and prod investigation time. Thanks to the original poster. Pat

12 volt comes from battery under trailer into electrical area under head of bed. There it goes to an always on bus with circuit breakers (for propane detector, trailer brakes, and a few other always on items) then to use-store solenoid. From there dips under floor by water heater to street side and the converter.

Finally got trailer out of storage and started on projects I’ve been planning all winter. First is removing bulky table pedestal and installing a Lagune table leg. Click image for larger version

The 23FB forum

Sometimes when you post it looks like the picture is in there twice. It’s a bug in the software, I think. Your post looks fine from here.

Thanks. Most frustrating was replacing the broken plastic water tank drain. Accessing the little hose clamp to remove and replace is almost impossible. Click image for larger version

Ooooo, I want to do this. How did you access the almost-impossible-to-get-to clamp... through the bottom access panel?

Tried bottom access panel first, even enlarged it a little but was difficult. Finally found it easier to access from above through the closet floor next to water pump with a long screwdriver. Cut away some of the vinyl to reveal a larger access hole.

Thanks for the good info. I'm sorry that it won't help me... drat! The 23D's fresh water tank isn't really accessible from up top. Oh well, it was worth asking... thanks again. By the way, ALL your projects are awesome!

If you carefully jack up the trailer with jack stands you could do it from the bottom. My problem was the ground clearance was not sufficient to work from below. That would have been my next try if I didn’t get it from above.

Actually, this is very helpful. Thanks a million for taking the time to share your knowledge and experience!

Dolson, those are all nice projects. Looks like your pup is already enjoying the extra space under the table.

Do you think the table top could be positioned in the center of the space if the Lagun base were mounted in the corner to the right of center position?

The horizontal arm is 15” long (13” center on center post) so not quite long enough unless moved somewhat toward the center plus the adjustment lever is on the right of the vertical post so it would have to be mounted on the left side.

Elfa Closet Help

I thought I remember seeing on this forum someone giving the exact order for their Elfa shelving for their large closet but I can't find it. I have a few questions. Do we need to worry about the weight of the shelving unit itself? Do we order the cabinet depth or the regular depth? What it the max width of shelving to order and not get in the way of the door? Does anyone remember seeing that post? Thanks for any help!

23FB shower door bottom seal

I have a 23FB and need to replace the bottom “slide in” seal for the shower door. I was hoping someone might be able to help me out with finding this... Or possibly the shower door manufacturer?
Also, is there a simple way to adjust the door for plumb? Any input would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

Thanks for water heater support

Just want to say that thanks to the good information I’ve found here I successfully swapped out our 23FB water heater igniter board and mixing valve. Both procedures were pretty much plug and play. The Dinosaur board seems to have exorcised our hot water demons. All good!

Morning 23FBs

Closet storage - the wire drawer installation that I have seen discussed was for the 27s. Don't remember an order list, but a Blue Box word search might reveal the thread you want. We talked to one 23 owner who had replaced the closet with shelving. That install was only solid board installation for separation and control. The Ultimate Airstream group also markets their storage alternatives.

Never replaced the seal on the shower door, so have same interest. Suggest a post in a general group like the Flying Cloud threads. The door has got to be used on other models and the seal is likely a standard extrusion.

Good to hear your WH problems are vanquished. Yes, the info here is greatly appreciated. Sharing makes the group stronger and smooths the route to just about everywhere.

Travel safe. Pat
