[a/s] 75 AS Sovereign

[Andy A Anderson <androo2@xxxxxxxx>]

I have written before regarding this unit I purchased for a lake lot in Texas.

This is the first travel trailer I have owned,  and of course an older unit that sat 
unused for 9 years can expect to have some repairs needed

So far , this is the scenario.   I purchased the unit on Thursday, June29, 2000.
The move to my  lot at Cedar Creek Lake in central Texas went without aproblem.
It only required a move of approx  9 miles, and the job was accomplished with a 
Chevrolet 1/2 ton pickup.

The AS was parked, leveled, connect to electricity and water from my existing house.

I intend to use it for extra sleeping accomodations when the kids and
grandkids visit, and never intend to travel with it.

The existing Armstrong A/C worked for approx 24 hours before it failed,
so a new Coleman Mach 13, 500  Btu was installed.  

The existing toilet was a two piece with a foot pedal, and it leaked like a sieve, 
so a new aqua magic  was installed.  The floor plate had to be replaced to
accomodate the new toilet.  After installing the new toilet and doing a leak check, 
the brass water valve that shuts off the water supply to the toilet was cracked, and 
so my latest problem.  The copper line from the "T" to the shutoff valve is one size,
and the water line to the toilet  is even smaller.  Is this a standard application?

I have done all the work myself so far, but plumbing is not one of my areas of expertise.
Does it seem reasonable to just run a straight copper line to the toilet
and forget the shutoff valve?  If  another leak or leaks develop, I can
just shut the water off  at the house for further repairs.

The other area that I cannot solve is the refer.  It is the gas/elect model and does not
work.  The knobs at  the bottom are all missing  and I don't know how to
turn it on.  There is no propane in the tanks, so I don't know if the gas
function works either.

Appreciate any help from ya'll out there.

The saga continues.
