Well, now that the side is repaired, I've been testing the other systems. Inverter is working, fan in it is a little loud, sounds like a playing card in a bycicle spoke.
Also found that the water heater is bad. It is a suburban unit, went to pull the anode plug and it snapped off. Drilled it out, ran a flush wand through it, and it kicked out a bunch of porcelain material, along with a lot of white crud, probably calcification from never being flushed out.
Lucky enough, camper was built with a water heater bypass, so turned all the valves, and put a few gallons in the fresh tank and ran the pump. Found the kitchen sink cold water fitting is cracked, and the faucet leaks at the knob.
Joy of restoring a 20+ year old unit. Gotta love it.
It looks great! I've always liked that ribbed aluminum siding, it hides delamination very well. Had it on my Nomad 35 foot TT. The thing was built like a matchbook cover. You could smell the wet pine, but you couldn't:C see it.
