Anyone interested in 83 Pace Arrow Tear down and Rebuild?

When I put this assembly together, I could not put the rails all the way at the bottom, because of running into the screws.

Therefore, I put them about 1.5" away from the inside edge. This will show up a little better in the picture after this one.

When assembling a structure, it's important to have a secure way to hold the frame.

Just happened to be the correct distance between the counter top and the ceiling! Lol....

I've spent some time the last couple of days looking at different options for a couple of things that will be needed during the finishing of this build.

One of them is a bottom freezer, top refrigerator. They are made in a 12 volt dc compressor version, that will actually fit in the area that I have available for that purpose.

The wife and I much prefer a bottom freezer, since we, like most people, are in and out of the refrigerator way more than the freezer.




I have run a a bottom freezer model for 15 years and love it. Also a 12 volt unit.



Specs are available HERE!

I have run a 12 volt bottom freezer unit for 15 years and love it. So much nicer to get things into and out of it.

What brand/size/model do you have? Does it have a Danfoss compressor? I hear they are kind of the cream of the crop. Thanks.

Mine is a Nova Kool. Yes, it has a Danfoss compressor.
Novakool.com. Their primary market is in boats so most of their dealer are boat places.

Thanks for the info. I'll have a look at those.

I also assembled a second set for the rear of the drawer set. At this point I was out of time, so I called it a day.

I started cutting a bunch of framing members for the drawers that will go beneath the passenger side counter top.

I have the first set glued and Kreg screwed together.

Next area for some drawers. No, that's not a current water leak. That discoloration was from a long time ago, when the roof was not water tight.

Hey, I have got to have place to store the Instant Pot, Breadmaker, and a whole bunch of other "must have" appliances.

I'll show this to the wife, but I think she'll go for the extra counter space to the right of the sink. That will still give us some space to the left of the sink, just not as much.
