Hey guys its john. You are all right the bath module is a son of a you know
what to remove. I was able to remove the front kick boards and vacuum
underneath the module. Found another 5-7 dead mice. I am going to need to do
it to the rest of the modules. Sink, Closet, ect. Would removing the kick
plates and sticking the shop vac hose underneath it the easiest? Any
thoughts. I am going to need t find an alternate way to mount the dark
tank . Then the water pump and lines, does any one have any pictures of the
way it is suppose to be hooked up. I have a new fresh water tank, and am
thinking of getting a new pump and accumulator tank anyone have any
ingenious ideas? And finally any body have any creative ideas on a bed
design? I am going to make it for a permanent queen size bed or close too. I
am going to kick it in to full gear to get this done by end of summer. It is
almost gutted so any help would be appreciated. Just to be clear I would be
appreciate some pics of the area behind the fresh water tank of the water
lines filters and accumulator tank if anyone has one hooked up. Also I was
reading about inverters. Is there any good ones that are inverters as well
as battery chargers that anyone is using that they like and did not break
the bank as I know these can be very expensive. Sorry for all the questions
but I would really like to get this thing done so can show up at a rally to
show off my hard work.

Thank you everyone,

John,
You're headed in the right direction. There's not a lot of
flexibility in FW tank local but a you can do some creative things to
make filling it and servicing the pump and filter easier. Not much
can be done with that bed area either there's just no way to expand
the area other than removing the P-side hamper and utility cover on
the D-side. That will add length, but not width.
There isn't much out there that isn't better and more efficient that
that old buzz box. Very simple to change out too. Once you pull
drawers and access panels off you'll find the rest of the areas that
need cleaning. You'll need to do something to keep the urine smell
from showing up in humid climates, a good sealer comes to mind. When
I had mine gutted, I must've slathered on 5 coats of a good water
sealer on all unfinished wood surfaces. Never a problem since.
Get to some rallys and start going through coaches. So many good
ideas out there, so little time to steal them.
