'71 Starcraft Wanderstar- "The Hilton"
Thought I should post this up because the "Search" feature doesn't return any results and there might be some useful info for older Starcraft owners or those that are mad enough to embark on a complet...

Thought I'd bump this thread up because I have a question or two. First, small update on the Hilton. I finished the heater piping and then moved on to the TV. I have a repairable Samsung LCD but don't know when that will get done or if it is worthy of the Cowboy/Hilton so I went down to Sam's and picked up a Magnavox LED lit 32". Happens that this is also the most energy efficient panel in it's class. Win-win.
I made a mounting board to span three studs:
Mounting arm attached to back of screen:
Game on:
Now on to the next poject and this has to do with those questions. I'm going to build an insulated and heated enclosure around my single waste tank. I plan to do this with a steel frame, aluminum cover panels, foam board insulation, and a heating wire device used to keep gutters deiced. The drain piping will be individually insulated and heat taped, also.
First question: Has anyone done this or know of someone that has?
Second: Am I overlooking anything fundamentally wrong with the general aspect or materials scheduled?
Third: What would be the easiest way to control operation of the gutter tape? It puts out so much heat that it will melt a 24' solidly iced gutter in a few hours. I know it's overkill but if an event like a full tank of waste sits in subzero climate for a few days, it may be nice to have the overkill available. In regular operation, it might only be necesary to use 10% of it's output.
