[VACList] Re: Plumbing in 54 FC

[Patricia Raimondo <praimond@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I need some advise!

If you look at the Vintage Advantage, vol. 10, on page 13, photo # 22, you'll see t
he exact layout of my 54 FC. It says it's a 53 and mine is a very early 54 with 
much in common with the 53.

My questions:

1.The fresh water inlet is in the center of the front under the window. I do not 
have a tank there now. Where would the tank go with the folding table there? It 
can't block the dinette benches as they have cubby compartments to the ends.

2. Note where the hot water heater is in the photo. It sits under and behind the 
drawers. Now look at photo # 24. Note there is no vent door on the outside that 
would go to the HW heater. It is electric only and I want to put in propane 
continuous heater. Will I have to cut an outside door? I can't even see how I 
can remove the existing one w/o removing the sink plumbing.

3. Anyone know where I can order an innerspring mattress to size for the rear 
double bed?

4. There is no air conditioning or even 12 volt fans so how do I wire? Run down 
the walls with a cover?

I am planning on attending the VAC rally in Colorado 8/8 and NEED to get alot 
done by then! Right now it's at Trailer City getting the tongue cleaned up. When 
I get it home I'll take some digital pictures and post for all to see! Such fun!
