Hmmm. Now I'm wondering if this is the correct part? They said that on these old Thetford Aqua Magic Starlite Galaxy toilets it's the vacuum breaker and on the Aqua Magic IV it's the water valve. Don't think I'll be able to replace without removing the toilet. There's only a few inches between...

Thanks, Alfa. Just talked with Thetford. On this Thetford model, it's called a Vacuum Breaker replacement pkg. $35, small price to pay. Agreed on bathroom wall to wall carpet instead of linoleum or something like it - wtf?

I have a 1987 Fleetwood Bounder with the original Thetford Aqua Magic toilet and I just noticed that the carpet in my bathroom is soaked with fresh (thankfully) water on the right side (as you are looking at the toilet standing in front). I felt the water pipe coming out of the wall behind the...

Unfortunately, on my Bounder, the stock Norcold fridge I'm replacing comes all the way to the ceiling, there isn't more than an inch of headroom there. And the bottom of the fridge comes almost to the top of the furnace. I'm going to need to get a residential fridge that is a touch shorter if...

Thanks folks, both of those fridges look pretty good. And thank you, Gary. Those sites are a good reference.

My family and I are living in our 1987 Fleetwood Bounder and I am done wrestling with our 2-way Norcold 838EG2 fridge. The past two months we have actually just been using it as a cold box, with a new 10 lb block of ice in there every 36 hours. We are mostly entirely stationary these days, at an...

I've got a 1987 Fleetwood Bounder with an extra battery installed for the ignition/starting. It is beginning to have problems starting and I'm guessing that the corroded battery cables (see attached JPGs) are the culprit. Can someone tell me what cables these are, or what the part would be...

Update: finally got the Dinosaur Elec circuit board and installed it. Problem fixed.  :D

Ok, I finally found a wiring diagram on this fridge, see attached image. The mystery wire I'm trying to figure out where to attach apparently connects to the "burn sensor". However, I can't find the burn sensor. Anyone have an idea where that would be?

I just bought a 1987 Fleetwood Bounder and have located a switch that I have no idea what it does. It is located in the upper cabinet, just behind the driver's seat, right next to the cabinet that houses the power converter. The switch has three settings - front, off and rear. Anyone have any...

Does anyone have a photo they can share of an installed circuit board on a Norcold 838EG2 refrigerator? I just purchased a replacement board from Dinosaur Electronics, part 61716822, to replace the exact same board (the fridge already has the board recall kit installed). I thought I had all the...

Thanks for the advice, 8Muddypaws.

In advance, please pardon these links if this violates any anti-commercial guidelines this Forum has. These are the only links I can find that show both the part and the recall information I refer to in the post above. Recall: http://norcoldparts.com/norcold-838-8310-parts/ Circuit board...

I'm new to this forum, good to be here. My family of four and I live in a 1987 Fleetwood Bounder, that we recently bought from the first and only owner and our refrigerator has stopped working on both electric and propane power. It's a Norcold 838EG2 two-way fridge with what looks to be recall...
