Looks like a great haul on parts. I've been looking at the DC fridges too for mine. I don't NEED a new one but I've been thinking about it to get off the propane as much as I can.
Yeah, it was a good haul. I'm happy. Unfortunately, the fridge is gonna add to the list of projects. We had a 7 Cu foot fridge (56" tall). They had the same model as what we bought in a 8 cu ft version, but knowing how my wife likes to pack, I opted to get the bigger one. Its 60" tall and I had measured the cabinet where it fits and knew a 60" model would fit, if I got rid of the riser that was installed. I didn't really think too much of it.
Well, I should have pulled the riser before buying the fridge...Circled in red is the drain line from my sink. The fridge needs to sit flat on the floor to fit in the existing cabinet space. DAMN IT. Couple different options...I have plenty of depth, so I can re-route the drain. That will involve pulling my shower though (It appears to share the same drain line). The other (and more probable option) is to replace the cabinet face and change the upper cabinet. It will get shorter...but honestly, that will be the easiest solution. No returns allowed when you buy this stuff...so I would have to try and sell it, then drive two hour south and buy
another fridge to use the cabinet as it...and the face has some damage anyway.
I got most of the wiring pulled today that I'm going to pull. I still have a couple AC lines to remove and one more DC circuit, but all my old tank sender wires are out, my DC wires are pulled, the LP tank sender is pulled, etc. I have a LOT of extra copper now.
I also worked out getting power to my DC-DC charger. This is coming together nicely. Weather proof Cord grip through the firewall, runs along the side of the coach and finally terminates at the charger. Used up all 40 feet of the wire I bought doing it this way though. I'm a lot happier with this circuit being inside the walls, vs dangling along the frame, outside. I'm also cleaning up all the poorly added circuits and the OLD factory electronics up front.
Old. The circle is where they (Coachman, the upfitter) tied in two circuits vs pulling power of the rear distribution. The battery maintainer is supposed to go between the house and chassis batteries...It was only connected to the house side so it wasn't maintaining anything. All that loom was for added circuits and splices. The blue thing in the upper left is my old isolator. It was a MESS.
New...Still have a couple wires to trace down, and I think I want a buss bar to bring power off of for all the tie ins on the starter solenoid. That solenoid is for the battery boost switch...which I will elminate since my Li batteries cannot be used to start IC engines. My next bunch of work days are going to be very electo-centric.
