Re: [A/S] Argosy repairs
hi Mucho, or should i call you Mr./Ms. Gracias.
i own a 76 argosy but i am no expert. i have owned for less than a year.
i have replaced a rivet though. make sure they are aluminum and the size
matches. i bought a assortment of aluminum rivets and have put a couple in
and have had no problem. however, i haven't gone far, yet. i have also
recieved great info about touch-up re-painting. be sure and check the
archives. the email from the group about touch-up painting to the trailer
was a kind of pep-talk about doing it yourself, it is tough the first time
but then you know how to do it.
my charger will be my first big job this spring. it no longer re-charges
the battery when plugged in to 30 amp service, i will double check before
i start. i believe the archives have data on this also. another member from
saskatchawan sent me his well documented (28 pages) info about this task.
they also modified the battery to a two battery system and adjusted the
storage of the batteries.
good luck, jeff ballou
