We have added two 115V AC receptacles to our 2004 Winnebago Sightseer 35N, if interested photos of that project as well as other projects at: Picasa Web Albums - Terry & Bev + Cookie.

Nice deal, where did you get the box for the receptacle on the desk? I like the shape.

Hi TheBerrys. I purchased the receptacle from a local "Job Lot" store. The products are made to be used in a "Cubicle" office environment, they also make one with a "USB" port. Next time I go there I will see if there is a name or website that you may be able to use to locate it. PS I have checked out your pictures nice work.

A complement from you on our upgrades is saying something. You’re famous for the stuff you do.

Thanks for checking for a manufacturer on the box, it sure looks a lot better than a square blue one.

PACE 89: Great mods. Have a question on the electric hot water heater. Do you have to take your gas line apart to drain your tank? I have the same heater in the same place and found I have to take gas line apart to drain the tank on mine. I wonder how many times one can do this before getting into trouble.

Hi Homer. Yes you are correct I have to disconnect gas line every time to drain the hot water tank. The heater was installed on a previous coach & was moved to the 2004 Sightseer in 2004 so this year it makes 6 times on Sightseer & at least one year on the other coach that the gas line has been disconnected/connected, how long before a problem?? Heater still works good.

That is comforting to hear. I must admit it worried me a bit. I always check the connection after, with soapy water. First year for me on this type heater. My previous were built in.

Hi TheBerrys. Checked on the receptacle manufacturer today. It had two web sites I checked them & it turns out that; Rubbermaid appears to be the parent company of Rolodex. I was able to locate product photos at: Rolodex go to "Virtual" workspace, skip the intro, then go to Hub systems. Product photos are located there. I did not check but they may list a location where they are sold.
The price at the location where I find them is $ 3.00 each. Good Luck & I hope that this information helps.
