Hi Brad, When I think about that vent set up like that I compare it to the gas water heaters or furnaces I work on every day and would not even think of leaving it vent like that. I will post a picture of my vent idea in the next day or two.

Doug, I have the same stove and it does vent through the wall to the vent cover you see in the first photo above. The second photo shows the hole in the wall before the stove was installed. I think you really want it vented outside as that releases the CO as well as the heat.

Doug,
How do you plan to secure the gray and black tanks...I have been struggling with this in my mind as I want to be able to get them out. I'm a long way from installing them but I've looked at many different set-ups and I'm not clear on it.
Thanks. Don...

Thanks Norm, I think I am going to vent my stove up through the counter top in front of a window. Smiler to a standard home stove.

Hi Don, I am actually working on the tanks now and not sure if I can make them removable yet, everything is pretty tight. At this point they are held up with 2x4 lumber cut tight to fit into the main frame rails on both sides.

The power is on!
Got the Cruiser running on battery power last night, hooked up the last wire to the battery and no sparks Installed a storage box on the side of the power box for extra fuses, tape and a couple tools. Located the power/fuse box under the bench facing up so it could be easily seen and worked on.
Found fittings for shower drain to grey tank, planning on gluing trap right into top of tank so I don't have to raise shower floor. Also trying to build in an overflow between the black and grey tanks to give more grey capacity.

This is how I did mine, http://www.airforums.com/forums/f36/...-38289-14.html , pages #14, #15 and #16, post #210 and #213 very important. To replace tank, cut rods, there is enough room to install new rods.

Thanks Toastie and Steve, I picked up a better shower drain fitting today at HDepot, it should make it seal better. Also picked up some couplings that would allow the tanks to come out easier.

Plumbing
Pluming progress, I think I have it worked out so tanks could be removed if needed but hopefully never have to, never have on any of the SOB's that we have had. Vanity will go over the wheel well, just like original.

Tanks
Tanks are in and hooked up installed a bypass between the top of the two tanks, should add a little more grey tank capacity if needed.
Made up the vent cover for the stove vent, need to cut out the counter yet.

Nice trip to Ikea today, way to busy for me! We were successful at finding a nice bathroom faucet, small aluminum curtain rods, bed spreads and pillows and a few accessories for the kitchen!

Bathroom vanity
Started the vanity layout, going to keep the approximate shape of the original.

Weigh in time
Nellie's weight is at a slim 3300LBS, with maybe another hundred pounds or so of finish work left. A lot lighter then the SOB's we have had in the past.
I can't post pictures yet but just closed a deal on the next piece of aluminum, picking it up next weekend. It is older then Nellie and a little shorter!

Made the vanity top today, finished wiring the electric brakes and worked out a deal for the next project, pretty good day so far.

That is the only picture i have so far, its going to be a long week! He tells me the inside is in fairly good condition and mostly original. I missed a similar trailer last year by 15 minutes so very happy for the chance to work on this one. Even though I know it will take years.

Hey Brad, The sink was pretty chipped and rusted so just sanded and four coats of chevy orange spray enamel.
Can't stop looking at Curtis Wright trailers now, it could be a early 50's silver streak also. Looking forward to the road trip next Saturday.
