Hi everyone, hope everybody's February is going well. I've sat by quietly enjoying the posts recently but don't feel I have much to add.
However,....Mike Miller wrote me awhile back wondering if the swap to later model FlexSteel furniture is too much trouble. I just wanted to give an update that our swap over is going well. We cut into the old wood framed LP tank compartment and subtracted approximately 2-1/2" from the LP comportment. We also re-routed the water tank fill line behind the LP tank successfully. (I know, Ken H suggested a ball valve bypassing the pump, but my Dad wanted his dedicated fill line maintained). Anyway, we just got the re-upholstered rear seats back and soon I'll be installing them. We're having a new under window rear cabinet made and we'll have to wait on that first before installing the rear couches. In the meantime, attached is a link showing the new wood form that I made to accept the furniture. We're also putting in a DC outlet back there for fans and portable electronics. Next time there I'll also get a shot of the "new" LP compartment from the outside. I'll be updating my photo-site as we progress.
