    Boat supply would also be a good start. Most boats are covered with vinyl that sits outside and needs fixin' But check with Stan or Marty first. BTW Silicone II is crap.

    A 1" piece of hard foam placed on top of your head helps with lifting. Never wear a baseball cap with the button on top while doing that, unless you want that soft "baby" spot on top of your head to return.

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Fridge Fan Exhaust

    Thanks Rodger, that's sufficient to get the general idea. I was thinking about using the reflectex insulation on the sides and top, since there is very little room.

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Fridge Fan Exhaust

    Here is some interesting info I found regarding cooling / venting. "The purchase of an add-on fan can solve a lot of problems in border line venting, but is not a cure all for terrible venting. The important thing to remember is that the fan should be installed above the cooling unit...

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Extra Gas Line on a Hawk?

    I would be inclined to add a grommet in the stove where the copper tube passes through. A few years of vibration might wear on it. A piece of rubber hose can be slit and used, providing it doesn't get too hot. DR

    Generally the screws are #8 x 3/4 teks (self drilling). Home depot has 'em by the 100 pack. You would need to be sure you are screwing into the frame tube.
