How is that for a eclectic topic?

Anyway, I am inquiring about getting rid of the 6kw Onan and installing a new 4kw. Anyone do this? can it still slide? Will it fit? And mostly, is it quieter?

Next, I saw a Youtube video of a lady who refurbished an elderly Class C, and frankly she did a great job. I am liking the idea of painting my laminate cabinets, as she did. She used "Beyond Paint" and it rolls on very thick and other than a thorough cleaning, no other prep work is involved. Anyone "paint" their laminate cabinets and walls???

Thanks.

Larry

A new 4K what by whom? Usually repairing the 6K Power Drawer is the best long term plan as they will outlast new units and have the unique pull out feature.

John, thinking about sticking with Onan. Not giving up yet on the Power Drawer. Thanks.

Larry-
We're thinking about painting our cabinets as well, likely as an interim
measure before a more comprehensive remodel. I'd be interested in a link
to that video if you still have it handy.

Thanks,

Here is a link to what this gal did to this Class C but it does show her finished (repainted) cabinets.

Here is the link to where I first saw her rig and I believe describes the "beyond paint" in this video

Eclectic?
I hate it when people use words more than 5 letters long. 4 letter words are even better.
