I think the structual solution is to run a cable from either side under the paneling with a turnbuckle and plates at the end to pull the side back in to the center. This would provide a stetchable support and allow the edges and the shrouding to be resealed and eliminate future strain.
1976 Dodge Sportsman, Suveyor rig, "rustic" condition.
Does anyone have any info about these?
I plan to recondition it..and one of my first priorities is adding a house battery.
I noticed it has an alternator with an external regulator.
I'm thinking of buying an isolator to charge 2 batteries.
I've seen diagrams on how to fit an isolator, but was wondering if I come off the regulator, or directly off the large terminal of the alternator to the isolato-or from the regulator to the isolator?
I need to know how to do this.
Any info or web-sites that might be helpful?
Also any info about reconditioning these would be a big help.

Got hot water, nice. Even the refrigerator works. The one side of the RV continues buckle. I'm goint to have to start to look at what is suppose to be holding it up. whether the cabinets have somehow disnengaged from the floor or the bracdes are all wet and bending..This is what makes these old RV so excitiing and gets the grade 'rustic'.

Well, they used to market the 1905 as a direct replacement. Perhaps they stopped due to problems... same problems I'm experiencing now. I wish I would have just went to Napa and bought a refurb. Thermoquad and been done with it.

According to the guy I spoke to at Edelbrock, they do not have a direct replacement for the Thermoquad. He was not very forth coming with info... kinda had'ta drag it outta him! His total answer was "take it to a shop, they should be able to make it work!"
Not the answer I was looking for......

I just replaced the Thermoquad on my 1979 Mobile Traveller with an Edelbrock Performer carburetor. A square bore to spread bore adapter; Edelbrock P/N 2696 and the associated gasket is all that it took.
p.s. I don't have the owners manual that explains the camper part of the vehicle. I know nothing about the gray/black water system. My toilet bowl gets only a very small amount of water into it after each flush!
Thanks, Scott
There are probably 2 levers on your toilet. When you flush them both together you get just a little water after the flush. You probably need to hold the second lever until the water is at the height you like. It is not like a residential toilet where it fills to a pre-determined point.
Honey with 50k miles. Needed some roof work done due to pooling of water but has been repaired and now I am ready to hit the roads for some fall outings.
Hope to see many more join in on the topic of Dodge based RV's
The john has a single knob. I mean to go out and try more than just one twist and release. It may fill if the release is slow (or paused). The only thing I can think of, is that the knob once released slowly to fill the bowl and has since worn out and just snaps back to close. (thus allowing only a very short time for refill.)
