1967 Ritz-Craft Model 150

Does anyone have any information or knowledge of the camper manufacturer Ritz-Craft from Argos, Indiana. I have a 1967 model 150 I recently purchased and want to restore. Needed are the entry door and possibly a new stove top. Any and all help will be greatly appreciated.

For what it is worth, when we bought our 1969 Terry last year it did not have any of the tanks on it either. That is just as well because I would not want to mess with a 40+ year old black water tank.

 

What was still intact was the interior plumbing. When I gutted the camper I noticed that the sink plumbing was connected to the black water tank so our camper did not have a gray water tank. When I put it back together again I think I will probably do the same thing.

 

I have seen where a lot of other people doing restorations have a 5 gallon bucket outside of their camper. Then they have a drain right above the bucket and they dump their gray water out of that bucket.

 

Here is just one of the websites I have found along the way while looking for information for my restoration. Scroll about half way down the page and you can see a few pictures of the setups.

Jim, Maybe there were no tanks to start with. I heard about some early models had no grey tanks.Thanks , Bern
