I'm not sure how to do a thread or yahoo group but I am open to learning how. I am in the Northwest for the summer (to hot in Texas) and not in my Glastron. I grew up not far from you in El Paso and visit my dad several times a year. I might contact you and come up to the mountains sometime when I'm there. I have a lot of experience in old RV's of several types but mostly the Glastron Motorhome. Glad to be of any help to you and Jimmy. It would be cool if we could do a Glastron Rendevous someday. Gary

Hey Craig, Great pictures, we have the same vehicle for sure. My grill area is larger, may have been cut out to improve engine cooling which is a common problem. I have always wanted an awning, I like the way yours looks. The woodgrain vinyl for the exterior is still available, I have replaced mine once and need to do it again. On the inside, my water tank is the same as yours but my converter and breaker panel are located under the rear couch/bed. I don't have the knife switch on the side of my breaker panel like yours but I think I know what it does. When you are plugged into external power 110 volts is fed into the breaker panel above the switch. When your are using the generator and your external power cord is not plugged in, you engage this switch so that the generator can now provide 110 volts to the breaker panel. I would verify that by checking the voltage with a meter on the generator side of the switch prior to engaging it. Be careful not to get shocked. Mine is done differently. In the aft side door on the drivers side where my external power cord is there is a regular 110 volt plug that my power cord is plugged into when I am using the generator. I have the original Kholer 1 cylinder generator which has been noisy and unreliable, someday I want to replace it with a quiet newer one. I hope that answeres your question and I hope it will work when you try that. I think a Glastron page would be great. Good luck!

Craig, we have a Glastron dicussion in RV forums now. Check it out.
