Their was some rust in one lower corner visible, which had to take care of, and I also want a window to see through.
I had luck and their was no hole rusted into the windowframe, so only sanding all the rust away - and at one seem on the front above the headlight on the driverside -, than priming and finally painting.
The new used window is cleaned up and I hope to install it this weekend, so that I can drive the Army Goose out of the garage. | | | Re: What Did You do To your Van Today? | Joined: Mar 2007 Posts: 4,463 Likes: 12 pooh-bah | pooh-bah Joined: Mar 2007 Posts: 4,463 Likes: 12 |

I installed two of this panels 4 years ago in my travel trailer. The light in the restroom has a 230 Volt bulb and had a 12 Volt bulb with a bad plastic socket. And since this soccet caused problems not only in the restroom but also above the bed I removed it in the lamp in the restroom and put two of the panels in.
They are so bright at night, that you not only have light inside the restroom. If you open the door, part of the travel trailer is also illuminated. | | | Re: What Did You do To your Van Today? | Joined: Aug 2001 Posts: 12,107 Likes: 37 Maniac | Maniac Joined: Aug 2001 Posts: 12,107 Likes: 37 | Today I fixed my AC system. I had the AC system in van completely rebuilt a few years ago. it wasn't cheap, but the guy did good work and replaced many parts the previous shop should have but didn't.
Earlier this year I tried to use the AC but the air wasn't cold. I decided to try and troubleshoot it myself before taking it in to be serviced. I discovered that the system was low on refrigerant and that was all that was wrong. Yay! Now my AC blows out 46 degree Fahrenheit air. That will come in handy in the near future of 90-100 degree weather around here.
I still need to open up the rear walls and fix the leaks in the ducting from the rear AC fan to the rear vent outlets, but that is a project for another day.

As I've gotten older I sometimes wish my van had a/c. We've definitely had plenty of very warm days, and hotter than normal coming up. Crazy dry and hot weather in Washington this year. | | | Re: What Did You do To your Van Today? | Joined: Aug 2001 Posts: 12,107 Likes: 37 Maniac | Maniac Joined: Aug 2001 Posts: 12,107 Likes: 37 | Thanks guys! Yep, it has been HOT and DRY lately. I need to still track down a radiator fluid leak and then tear apart the back of the van to figure out how exhaust is getting in while I drive and repair the rear AC ducting. All before the next road trip on July 17. Gotta get busy!
