Hey guys. I am new to the sight and new to RV ownership. I have owned a class b van for a long time but the family has grown and we decided to move up to something a little bigger. We just purchased a 1973 Dodge Chinook 18+ and I am looking for some information. I need to put in a house battery as it does not have one also I want to clean and inspect the fridge,heater,water heater and such and was wondering how to do this and what to look for. Thanks in advance for any help. We are really excited to get out and hit the road.
Very cool. My Parents had a 72 18+ on a Chevy they bought new. It stayed with the family for 30 years.
My dad mounted a house battery under the RV with a framework of angle. It was screwed to the floor underneath. Not the best setup but it worked . One used a floor jack to lift it into place.
If you have the spare wheel in a compartment by the back door you can mount it to the exterior wall and gain some storage space.
