Restoring 1973 Sovereign Baton Rouge

[BWMorgan225]

Back on my 73 working again!
Does anyone know source for new aluminum strip along the bottom? Otherwise I will attempt to polish the old strip.

BW if you are talking about the lower beltline molding that goes around the bottom of the shell at the transition between the shell and the belly pan. I have been told by Andy at Inland RV that it is no longer available. I have a 73 as well and am missing a piece on the bottom of the door. There is a newer style available from A/S but you would need to buy enough to do the whole trailer to get it to match.

Yep ..will check with AS. thanks

Replacing Window Gaskets
Working on windows, replacing gaskets, have removed and cleaned the old solar coating inside/between the window panes.
Anyone have experience or preference on the gasket type? I see there are two types, the original which has double compression flaps and the newer "D" gasket. Which is the best?

Tank Dump Valve Froze
The dump valve will only move approx 1/2" back and forth but will not open. I assume the rust inside is keeping it from opening. Any suggestions? I assume I will have to saw the conduit and replace if I cant get to work.

I am removing the refrig, stove/oven, pump, electrical converter/panel and furnace from kitchen. If anyone needs any of these contact me. I can send photos.
