Sorry, that should have read "this type of jack".

I found the packaging but unfortunately there is no part # just a skew.
Atwood bevel gear kit
6 92931 35387 1
That's all the information on the pkg..
Height of gears, # of teeth and diameter will help to narrow things down.
I redid two of my jacks with these gear kits and they work much better now but because of the lack of bushings on these jacks the play in the shafts stop them from working as smooth as they should.

Dennis thanks for the help on the jacks.
Did some work on one of the corners. Must be SOP to repair by putting new panels on top of old. What I noticed is that two types of pulled rivets were used the typical shaved rivet and one I've never seen. After setting the rivet an aluminum foil cap was installed on top of it.
Anyone know what they are? Just curious, I'm not looking to use them as they look horrible.

Dodge,
Do you have any more pics of your dismantled C-10? I am especially interested in pictures of the joints and construction of the overhead area. IE Gussets, strengtheners etc that help to support the overhead bunk area. Since seeing the pics of the C-10 deluxe with the 6 ft long north/south bunk, I hope to some day find another C-10 and do what you are doing, removing the wood, adding a basement, abut also lengthen the bunk to become a full North/South bunk... Like this...

Work continues. Since the last update we have resealed the roof with Kool Seal, painted and installed the propane box and started putting the interior back in. Hoping to take a big swing at this thing over the Holidays and make some real progress!
Since I am not going to use the original furnace I decided to take out this massive ugly square chimney.

Finishing up loose ends. Attached front rub rail.

Found this NOS Bargman gravity fill unit on ebay.

Also put the propane box back in.

Resealing the roof wasn't nearly as big a task as I thought it would be. Taking the AC off was the hardest part. This repair was done mostly for cosmetic purposes and to watertight the hole from the chimney. Kool Seal..

And finally we started putting in the interior walls. First step was to find the end caps and supporting aluminum part.

Going to press hard to get some more interior aluminum in over the Christmas break. More to come..
Happy Camping!

What are the two little vents for next to the old square chimney? They don't look factory. I'm sure you are going to use them since you didn't patch over them.
Looking good! I really like the look of the new propane box. I did my new box in plywood, and sealed it, but if I end up redoing it, I.ll make an aluminum or galvanized box.
Keep up the good work!

Garry,
Those two vents are stock. One was just a vent for the sink and shower drains. The other was the toilet tank vent. I will use the drain vent as a grey tank vent and the other the same way as before for black.
