Got the kitche area pretty much finished today, still have to add a small section of counter top. We took out the stove because it seemed like something we would never use.

I take it that it's a microwave where the oven might have been? Interesting 'Delete'.

so I've noticed a weird problem with my 75 sportsman chassis motorhome, the turn signals work fine during the day (no headlights) but when i pull the headlights on, one of the turn signals doesnt work. any idea why that would be or does anyone have the wiring diagram for that year van chassis? (its B300 i believe) its a tioga if that helps. thanks guys sorry if this isnt the right forum for the issue! painting is coming along inside, covering up the old owners hideous taste in pastels is a slow but steady project on my days off. will post pictures or a blog soon!

I understand.... but did you Delete the Cooktop? My cooktop makes stuff as well. [emoticon]

Thus my comment 'interesting delete'. But I guess I could live without the burners, if I had a 'Nuker'. Since I don'e use the oven as much, it gets used for storage a lot.

LOVE PIZZA, but I'm not trying to gain more weight! [emoticon]

I would suspect bad wiring. If you have a flakey connection, then the additional draw of the headlights may be sucking up all the available power so the turn signal can't get enough power to work. Check all the wire connections to the headlights and the turn signals paying particular attention to the ground connections (these often get corroded).

Vax,
I had to replace both my tail light assemblys when I bought my 74, I initially wired them up wrong. Turn signals worked during the day but with lights on they wouldn't work. When I got the wires in the proper sequence it all worked fine. TreeSeekers advice on grounding is good also as these rigs often have grounding problems that show up in odd ways.... good luck,

I don't think anyones dying statement ever contained the words "I wish I had spent more time in the office", so lets go somewhere!

Vax,

I forgot to mention to check the lamps and sockets for corrosion too. Most of mine were corroded. I used a battery terminal round wire brush to clean up the sockets and a regular wire brush to clean the lamps. A few lamps I just replaced. Then I coated everything with dielectric grease to prevent further corrosion.

I had to basically re-wire mine from the cab back. We had worn and shorted wires in the tail light set, corroded bulbs and sockets, corroded ground connections, and very cheesy clip connections in all the "house" section if the lights wiring. We set the whole light system -other than the head lights and front turn signals- on a new wiring set, ran the tail lights and all the running lights off a relay wired to the headlight switch, cleaned every socket, cut all the clip connections and soldered them instead, ran heavy ground straps to the frame, and finally have reliable lights that work. Thank goodness for a very good friend who spent three days with me doing all this.

Grounds. Start anywhere and clean them for days until you're done.

A "double-barrel" 360? Is that a boxlock? [emoticon]

Still the original Magic Chef. Long day Friday's pizza is a great option )especially for the kids) when we get to the campsite and don't fell like cooking. er... grilling.
