hello all! I'll start off with my name, Layn and now if you reread my username you will get it. I have camped, hunted and fished, all out of tents, trailers, trucks, and under the open stars. I love the outdoors and now that I'm older I have decided that I need a better way to provide a good camping experience to my family. I'm also an amateur gold miner and a mobile camp just makes more sense. So this last January we bought a 1982 Tiffin Alegro. 30 footer. Talk about busted... I really had to do some work this winter. I finally just finished this weekend. and I thought I might share what I have done here and maybe some will have recommendations for future projects. so here is a list1. fixed kitchen sink drain
2. fixed 12v battery connections at gen/ main bank which was the reason for no water pump or propane.
3. added 4 100 amp hour deep cycle AGM batteries
4. built (myself) and added 300 watts (almost) of solar power to charge those batteries
5. a dded a 5000watt 10000watt peak inverter and now the RV powers itself.
6. had to fix broken water lines from freeze damage
7. replaced the propane water heater with a new all electric six gallon heater
8. installed a knife style shutoff switch for the generator
9. replaced the bathroom faucet
10. gave her a tune up
11. replaced the engine battery with a 1100CCA battery
12. wired in an electric fence for fun
13. had to re plumb the water lines because they had removed the hot water side
14. fixed the headlights because of faulty wiring
15. fixed the fuel tank switch.
16. hooked up the fuel tank fill house on the aux tank.
there is more but the list is a little long now. I bought her for pretty cheap $1200 and now after all that work I think she is worth a bit more and now I am finally ready to take her out camping. hope every one enjoyed the read here and happy trails to all!
