Front Cabinet Bottom

The bottom of the cabinet was cut to fill in the opening where the old TV cut out was.

It has been covered with batting and foam.

It was then covered with the same color vinyl as what was on it before we started this project.. The next step will be to figure out where we will mount the new fans so that we can drill the holes. This will make it easier to mount the fans after the bottom has been installed.

Another Major Project

I am sorry Dear, but the price was too good to pass up!
Yep I have made another purchase that adds another project to the list.

We have decided to go with DISH since they have an RV package where we can pay for a month at a time.

Front Cabinet Project

We have begun the front cabinet remodel.  Our plan is to make the cabinet bottom flat all the way across.

Here is a fuzzy photo of what it started as-
It looked like this when we removed the TV-
We are at this stage right now-
And this is what we will use as the pattern when we cut the new bottom-
(It was the original bottom to the cabinet.)

Generator Job Is Completed

Yep-
The generator is back up and it runs very nicely!



It is hard to tell in this photo but the box has been sanded and repainted black also.

Curtain Tie-Backs

Here is a simple solution to curtain tie-back "hooks" that you can also tie in to match your décor.
I picked up 2 drawer knobs at Lowe's along with some hollow wall anchors.

We have mounted one on each side of the front side windows to use as the tie-back hooks for the front window curtains.

Generator Part Numbers

Here is a quick photo reference guide for part numbers that may be needed for out Onan 6500 GenSet gas generator(circa 1999).

Fuel Pump-
(Onan #149-2331-02)


Bosch Fuel Pump Relay-
(Bosch 12V 20/30amp #0 332 209 150)


Champion Spark Plugs
(Copper Plus #909  RS17YX)

Generator Tune-Up

Some of you that we met in Quartzsite will remember that the generator would not run the first morning that we were there.
We had a vendor who was supposed to fix it but we were not important enough for them to get it done during the 3 days that we were parked in their work bay at the Big Tent...so this has become the "project of the week".

You can see the generator base is being propped up with jacks and steadied by stacked boards.


We found the carb altitude setting on the 5000 foot altitude setting.

A new carburetor has been ordered and the the spark plugs have been changed. I know other parts have also been ordered so that it will all be replaced while the generator is down.
Wish us luck!
