I'm getting ready to purge a system myself and plan on installing a valve at the pump for draining most of the system....taking the handle off the valve for "safety"....you have to think about doing this....Mine has been 46 years without a drain and change.

check the gear exchange board in the "used popup camper alert thread" at the top of the page The interior is one of the best I've seen lately....exterior needs a little tlc...but the price is good http://www.wanderthewest.com/forum/topic/7380-used-pop-up-truck-camper-alert-thread/page-237

about 1970+- Cab over Alaskan 3 days old...nice dry interior...very clean woodwork...small front dinette...about 55" exterior needs a bit http://pueblo.craigslist.org/rvs/5692732582.html

interesting that they recommended an isolator plate above the bed but recommended an aluminum washer and a steel nut....in direct contact....below the bed....somebody not thinking this through to the other side I have to deal with this issue with a heavy, welded aluminum boat.....marine...

Reminds me of the pea and the princess story.... :D

in this case...you're much better off getting them from Alaskan...or salvaging one or 2 from a wreck...or an abandoned camper there are those around...a wreck in Missoula Mt. right now....and they come up near you as well...Willysaddict is redoing one right now and looks to have a machining...

there are those who would travel across the country to purchase a used one of those.....LV to Anacortes.....maybe a 2 day if that's the one....go get it....It may not be there...later today ;)

closed cell polyethylene foam...the packing stuff....you can get it in rolls up to 5' wide and 1/2" thick...fairly light material..... over or under the roof....it wont absorb water either way and rolled up it stows easily...even 1/4" will deaden most "noise" from the agua it cuts easily and...

X2 on the info...being an old guy....was thoroughly fixed on 2 way and 3 way refers...and Norcold after sending the other half on her first weekend trip by herself in the Alaskan...and having the Norcold drop soot on the thermostat and stop the frig...I'm nearly ready.....(she took phone...

There's a thread on 12v compressor frigs on the FWC board.... I'm interested as well...I have a relatively new Norcold but these new 12v high efficiency compressor refrigerators are nice and clean....and you can run them while underway nice solar array, good batteries...batta bing

that VHB tape is a good idea....I've not used it but have heard some real impressive results using it..... anything to minimize holes in the "boat" cure time is about 36-48 hours with 5200...to firm.....any thicker lines would take a bit more....but at 7 days...it's tough to remove

that "wicking" under the edge is the cause of several problems...additional holes from pirelli et al I don't think many individuals involved at the outset of the company ever had in their wildest dreams that the campers would last as long as they have...let alone be the subject of restorations...

Another special little detail inherent to Alaskans....when you're caulking the inside edge of the rain gutters...both front and rear finish the caulking line just below the gutter end at the edge of the camper and leave a small drip or ball of caulking below the end of the gutter then pull the...

the choices we make.....I think the punch/drill is by far the cleanest method...but time consuming I thought about this...and even went outside and tried a couple methods.....and buggered things up a bit in the process I'm planing on paint so it'll clean up nicely "The trick in successful...

I don't care what it takes...it's going in the truck this afternoon....well almost.... ;) Two consecutive new years....Endurance reaches a new level I did get it in the truck...to measure height/cab clearance for the riser platform Why do we do this :wacko:
