I am the extremely proud NEW owner of Gordon Wickstrom's '78 Royale.
Gordon did not represent his coach accurately.
IT IS IN FAR BETTER SHAPE THAN ONE COULD IMAGINE!
The interior is such that it could have left the factory last month.
Everything is either original or replaced with authentic original. The
exterior is near perfect . . . the factory spare tire cover appears new!
And, it comes with the most complete, meticulous logs I have ever seen on
any vehicle, or airplane.
It drives perfectly, the tires and bags are near new.
My schedule has been jammed so I have not been able to check out the
systems (gen, furnace, plumbing, etc.) that Gordon cautioned me that needed
attention, so I may be back to the list for your help going forward?
For now, I hope that someone can shoot me a photo of the door assembly for
the water heater?
The bottom latch (catch?) appears to hook around a (now missing) pin or rod
running horizontally across the bottom of the opening. Right now, there is
only the spring-loaded latch gizmo holding the door on. As there is so
little to tweak on this gem of a coach, I want even the slightest fix to be
accurate and authentic.
Can someone to tell me where to buy or how to fashion a secure mechanism
for the water heater door?
Regards,
Jay Honeycutt
