Re: 2002 Six Pac T150 Camper Prewired Speaker Locations...?
The Six Pac literature specifies an optional factory prewire for 4 speakers and it is definitely a speaker wire and not an antenna wire. I'm not sure if the 4th wire has retreated up into the ceiling or if the 4th speaker is intended to be mounted adjacent to the stereo. The wire matches the other two speaker wires (thin with clear insulation) and is not coax or power type of wire. It goes up into the ceiling hole and seems to go toward the center of the ceiling as I can hear it when I jiggle it. I can only trace it a few inches though. Sinc the existing two speakers are already adjacent to the stereo I would expect the other two to be on the other side of the camper. Normally, prewired items are indicated with a sticker or plug or something but I cannot find the slightest hint to help me. I have contacted the company but they no longer make campers and I'm not sure if I will hear anything back. Meanwhile I'm keeping my eyes out for a similar camper that has the speakers installed already. So far my internet searches and even the company catalog pics do not reveal the secret of where the wires are supposed to be prewired to.108Views0likes0CommentsRe: 70s Six-Pac, trying to figure out how to run new plumbing
Also, the fresh water tank has no drain so most owners add a T to the outlet side and run a hose and valve out the side or out the door to drain the fresh water tank. Don't use your pump to drain the tank. ALSO, NEVER USE BLEACH IN YOUR RV WATER SYSTEM AS IT WILL DAMAGE THE SEALS IN YOUR PUMP! THE PUMP WILL NOT HOLD PRESSURE AND WILL RUN A LITTLE EVERY MINUTE OR TWO WHEN THE SEALS GET DAMAGED. BLEACH WILL HARDEN THE RUBBER SEALS AND THEY WILL LEAK! PURCHASE SPECIAL RV WATER SYSTEM SANITIZER! The sink drain hose that you cut uses a "zero-clearance" clamp (PEX type) that just barely fits inside the hole in the wall of the camper. A regular clamp will not fit unless the hole is enlarged. Just leave the hose in place and repair it with a barbed connector.612Views0likes0Comments2002 Six Pac T150 Camper Prewired Speaker Locations...?
My 2002 Six Pac T150 has 2 speaker installed from the factory located under the storage cabinet below the stereo. A third speaker wire (unused) emanates from a hole in the ceiling just above the stereo. Where does it go? The factory prewired speaker locations are not marked anywhere on the ceiling (and I don't see a 4th wire either?) Got any pics of your Six Pac interior showing the factory installed speakers so I can figure out where this mysterious wire goes so I can install flush mount speakers in my ceiling? Any year will do that has a similar layout with the front dinette and short box.629Views0likes2CommentsRe: 70s Six-Pac, trying to figure out how to run new plumbing
I just bought one of these Six Pac campers for my short bed. It is a 1976 model and is just like yours. The water fill is located in the far front left near the camper jack...and the 1-1/4" fill hose runs under the cushion to an elbow and then down to a holding tank that occupies the far front left cabinet on the floor. It was a generous 15 gallon tank. There was only a manual pump faucet used (and they frequently leak around the handle) so the wiring is likely from an aftermarket addition of an electric pump. The water line from the tank to the faucet is run under the lip of the bench (dinette) on the inside of the unit (not sure if this is original though.) It enters under the sink in the front right of the cabinet thru a hole at the bottom. There is no grey water tank unless it was purchased as an option so the unit is designed to dump right over the side (I'm sure the Forest Service loves that!) I'm planning to fit a plastic container into one of the wheel well cubby holes to catch grey water. Even the 2002 models dump the grey water over the side! The vent tube for the fresh water tank actually terminates inside the camper on the opposite side of the water fill just above the dinette cushions! The tube is just sitting there begging children to stuff jelly beans or used gum into it! I considered replacing the icebox with a fridge but it really would be worth just getting a newer version of this camper that has the fridge since $1000 or so is required to do it. Getting block ice every few days is actually cheaper than the hassle of propane which only lasts about a week anyway. Also, running a propane line across the camper is a challenge that requires adding a frame to the bottom of the camper (needed for proper clearance anyway on newer trucks) so that the space can be used to run a 3/8" galvanized pipe across the bottom. Later models of this camper were manufactured this way. This camper had no converter, battery compartment or fuse block that I know of. Three wires +12v,Gnd,Running Lights emerge from the left rear wall and plug into the pickup. Only the lights use electricity. There are no other electrical items in the camper. There may have been a factory battery shelf in the left rear corner behind the 7" wide skirting...or one could be added there...especially easy when adding the frame to the bottom of the camper that is needed for truck bed rail clearance on these units. Just make the rear board wide enough to reach the ends of the rear skirting and a battery can be added on each side! A narrower-than-normal battery is required such as the Walmart SLA battery so there is no interference with the truck bed opening. A solar system will keep them charged so the lack of a converter is not so bad.613Views0likes0Comments
