Hello all- I have a 1968 Midas Frolic. We thought it was going to be some simple repairs but has turned into replacing a whole lot including framework. It is really no longer original and as such I am now not adverse to putting some modern elements in. I have read and read until I have such a headache now, and am somewhat confused what direction to go in! I am looking for some advice - if someone has the knowledge.
I am looking at replacing the heater and the refrigerator. I do not know if either even work. Refrigerator is propane only which is ok but my concern lies in the cabinet it sits in - we will be living in this trailer during the winter- and the cabinet has a huge vent in the back which obviously will be letting lots of cold air in. Also if the fridge does work are they efficient?
As for the heater it is a Peerless and I am unsure of how efficient that is. I was thinking I would replace with a similar sized blueflame unit- but the verbiage indicates they may not work about 4500ft. We plan in staying in places that may be higher in elevation- for instance we currently live in Colorado Springs (in a 1984 Fan) which is over 6000ft. My heating concern is more for our short hair dogs and cat that will be traveling with us.
I looked into getting a good generator to run electric- ie: fridge, additional heater, ac, etc but have decided I would rather spend that money on Solar to run what I can.
Also from reading I believe my electrical is a 15 amp. Anyone know differently?
I really appreciate any feedback. Thank you.
