Hello all. Just bought 1977 Dodge Jamboree 19 footer with a 360-2bbl. motor that has been sitting for three years and not used much before that. It has 54K miles on it and besides being totally crudded out when I bought it, seems to be pretty much intact. Changed all fluids and after a tune it actually runs pretty good. After gutting all the cushions, curtains, carpet, and fabric, I've started to work on the systems. It has two standard grill-size propane tanks and thus far I've gotten the 3-burner stove and the heater to run properly.
Working on the Dometic fridge which runs on propane or electric. Don't know much about the fridge or the electrical converter. Does the converter turn 12V into 110V when no electrical source is available? If not, what does it convert? What do I need to know about these items and what are the most important things to consider when I tackle the water system (i.e. holding tank, grey water, sewage, toilet, sinks etc)?
As I said, this is my first motorhome but I'm up to the challenge of refurbishing this relic. I'll just need some occasional guidance so any help anyone can give me will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
Bud Shaw
