Well, the winter break is over...my Revcon started in one second, I even didn' t have to recharge the front 12v battery. I just turned its main switch on. Storage 1 R.

There is an exhaust pipe inside of a black tube. The black tube has the function of an air intake. It was kinked, causing the heater to shut off. Now the Truma is working again. Truma 2 R.

I didn' t find any new ones...I have searched everywhere.

Dekaseal 1 R. Forum.jpg [ 83.57 KiB | Viewed 6496 times ] So we used Dekalin 8936 Dekaseal to create a "gasket". For this job you need a steady hand. The result looks like a real one. Let' s see how it works in a heavy thunderstorm...and I hope that the windows don' t start rattling. Dekaseal 2 R. Forum.jpg [ 72.31 KiB | Viewed 6496 times ] Dekaseal 3 R.

I checked the space on the roof for the second AC Unit. I am going to take a Dometic 2200. Second AC Unit Preparation R.

We mounted the vintage yellow fog lights (Bosch - Made in Sweden!) on the front bumper. Fog Lamp R.

I have bought two original sales brochures from Ebay. Revcon 80s Brochure Front R. Forum.jpg [ 95.28 KiB | Viewed 6073 times ] Revcon Brochure R. Forum.jpg [ 136.88 KiB | Viewed 6073 times ] They provide some very interesting information, e.g. the use of aircraft aluminum (6061) for the exterior skin.

Some facts about the generators. By the way, I bought the 3500 i/o Pramac inverter three days ago. Revcon Brochure Information 2.jpg [ 26.99 KiB | Viewed 6070 times ] It will need an anti-theft device when mounted on the slide out. My mechanic from Eastern Germany suggested a set gun. This was not a joke. During the Cold War he was responsible for the maintenance of the SM-70 on the inner German border. A very good man, but this is creepy. I like the floorplan with the big bar option opposite the kitchen. I´m just wondering if the GMC Motorhome could be ordered with such a feature... Revcon Floorplan 33 Canterbury with Bar.jpg [ 76 KiB | Viewed 6070 times ] Well, in those days everybody needed a drink everywhere. Have a look at "DALLAS" (1978). https://youtu.be/qgzP_8Olk8o This show was heavily played in Europe. Obviously an expensive motorhome from the 1970ies had to be delivered with a kind of booze storage. There is also a small second bar between the swivel seats opposite the sofa. My Revcon is equipped with a kind of mini-bar, including a mirror and a brattice above the fridge.
