    Hi,
    You wouldn't happen to know of anyone who had an Argosy main door hinge for sale would you? They are different from the Airstream and mine snapped while trying to close the door.
    Thanks

    Thanks for the info TG! A lot of delays lately has me just about to start the work this weekend!
    If you dont mind, can you go ahead and send me your email in case I run into some questions.

    One question/concern I have is on the copper water lines running in/out of the heater tank.

    Is it ok to assume its 1/2" Di? And that 1/2"sharkbites will work?
    Best regards,
    Billy J. Chase

    Thanks TG! Im not the best with how pipes inner/outer DI are measured, will 3/4" sharkbite fittings and tubing work with the existing copper lines in/out of the water heater?
    Thanks again!
    Billy

    Hi TG, you gave me advice on hot to run my homes how water line through the Airstreams hot water heater (thank you).
    Is it possible to by pass the hot water heater all together? and connect my homes hot water line before it hits the hot water tank (so I dont have to keep its water hot) and have it then connect on exit water line from the water heater tanks?
    Ive attached several images that may or may not help.
    Any suggestions are welcomed!
    Thanks,
    Billy

    Hello, probably a long shot, but do you have any more of those l-77 handles you made up a while back? Thanks

    Hey TG,

    I have a 26' 1974 Argosy also. I have been towing it with a 2001 F350. I just sold the truck and bought a 2016 Nissan NV3500. I am looking for a Weight Distribution Hitch. Are you still using the Andersen hitch and would you recommend it for my application?

    Thanks

    Peter

    Hello from Olsburg, Kansas, I am currently working on a 76 24' Argosy. I am looking for a readable 12 volt wiring schematic. Previous owner/s ripped things out, threw things away, etc. Luckily, the bathroom in rear was intact. I have put in a new larger breaker box for 110 volts and now working on 12 volt system. I still have top/middle celing open and lower side panels are off. End caps are temporatily in place. I connected what I believe are all of the 12 volt wires to the Univolt that is working but humming like they do. It is putting out power when I checked it in my garage. I connected the battery to it and checked the twelve volt lines around the trailer and no power. I have yet to check the grounded frame connection to the Univolt. I did download some schematics for 76 AS but it I am unable to read the colors since the original photo is low pixel.

Here's a few before and after of the galley. Still need to install the sink faucets and do some detail work. Painted the old refer frame today. Should have done it before I set it in place. It would have been much easier. Did some more cleaning of the interior skin, beyond the initial cleaning prior to installing the cabinets and appliances.

I ripped out all of the copper and replaced it with PEX. Along with installing a new water heater.
