I purchased a 2006 six pac s650 from an older couple that barely used it. I bought it for the size of the beds and relative simplicity of the camper for when Im towing my off road car into the sierras. I also have a TT for more family glamping.Anyway, I found sixpacs old site, and spoke to FWC a bit. Im trying to get more info on the camper iff possible. There is very little out there. Things Im looking to do with mine1.Replace ice box for fridge. I think the RM 2354 is the right one according to FWC, but that is a larger than the ice box.2.Id like to add a water heater3.ID like an over as well, but there doesnt appear to be room for water heater and oven unless some things get moved around or I modify things quite a bit.4.reinforce the upper bunk/storage area into more of a bed for my 10 year old. Not sure it would hold him as it is built right now. any info would be great. There is little out there via google-fu.

Think I'd go with a compressor fridge like a Nova-Kool or a Waeco compressor unit. Not sure without extensive modification if you could put in a water heater or oven. We have gotten by with no oven for years and out old / sold Lance had one that was just used for storage anyway.

It can all be done ... but it will be money and time spent on a 10+ years old camper. It may be easier to go out and just buy a camper that is closer to your wants/needs. Maybe after you have used this one with minimal modifications for a season or two.For the oven, you could just get a Coleman folding stovetop oven, or maybe an Omnia.A fridge would be nice. I suppose retrofitting an absorption fridge into a camper that has none means a lot of installation effort. You need a gas line, electrical for 12 and 110V. Since the fridge burner needs a compartment connected to the outside air with vents and a chimney, this could be a lot of work.A compressor fridge will be easier to install, but you will probably need to upgrade the electrical system (more battery capacity, solar) to make it work.None of these are exactly cheap.A water heater also needs a gas line at the point of installation, and you will need to rework the water plumbing.If any of this is worth it to you, only you can answer for yourself.Many campers came with all these options installed, including the upper bunk bed. It may be easier to trade your SixPack for one of these and spend the saved time and effort camping.

Six-Pac was on my short list in 2005 while shopping for RV's. I even visited their factory. Nice product, but I decided that a small C was better for my camping style. I still have a Six-Pac owner's manual from that time period in my files. It is a 17-page PDF, and I don't see a way to attach it to a post here. If you PM me and give me your private e-mail, I will send that file to you.

I neglected to mention that the camper is prewired for fridge and water heater. Cutouts are all there too. Just need to cut the siding and install the appliance. In fact, its seemingly prewired for AC, stereo, electric jacks, etc.

In fact, its seemingly prewired for AC, stereo, electric jacks, etc.I'd still go with a compressor fridge over the propane. They are much more efficient, don't have to be level (big thing with me running off road) and the just work better.I'm always on the fence about replacing our 3 way with a 2 way compressor unit. Finally, the cost of a compressor unit will be less that an Amish fridge of comparable size.We carry an Danfoss cool box unit in the backseat of the pickup when we camp and it's an amazing unit. When the propane unit is struggling in the heat, the compressor unit is keeping stuff frozen in one side and ice cold in the other. Once you get one, you don't go back.Like I said, keep thinking about kicking the Amish unit to the curb.
