Thanks for the information, Linda. I'll hope to hear if anyone has any background in using a plexiglas replacement. For this window, can the glass be removed and replaced from the outside, (e.g., reglue and replace window bead), or do I need to take the inside frame apart?

Does anyone have experience changing out this window and seal? Outside seal (or keeper?) is popping out, and appears to have shrunk (see gap in center photo - I'm assuming there was originally little or no gap. Prior owner had window removed and resealed twice by a "professional," and there are also some hairline cracks at the bottom of the window. I searched for replacement instructions/video online, but no luck. Any leads would be appreciated for:1) Reattaching seal (any special tools needed?) From what I've read, the "seal" I'm referring to may hold the window in, and there's a weather seal behind the window? 2) Replacement window - anyone have experience with using plexiglas to replace window? My local hardware store has some 1/8 and 1/4 inch thick that might work, provided I can cut those curved corners. Trying to find a somewhat inexpensive fix if that's possible. hold the window in, and

Thanks for the replies. I'll keep an eye on water level and just leaved it plugged in the next week or so (somebody living in it), then will look into timer options for winter storage.

Hello, The converter on my Seabreeze was updated by the prior owner to a Parallax Model 7345ru. I've read postings about fried batteries with the original equipment. Can anyone tell me if this Parallax model is ok to leave plugged in to 120v for multiple days when in use? Also, any tips about whether I should plug it in monthly during storage to maintain battery?

Good suggestions here. If I get my rig back from mechanic by the weekend (I hope) I'll do a small test with abs glue on the tank. Sounds like I'll find out pretty quickly if it's ABS if it sticks. Interesting RVDaytrader's 89 Seabreeze tank is fiberglass - the outlet on mine looks a little different. I'll still hope for ABS at this point, since I have a plan of action for that. If not, I'll be looking for more repair ideas. Thanks

Looks like there's at least hope I can avoid buying a new tank! Linda, yes, the pipe on the left is a standard 3" hub with 3" drain pipe glued into it. That 3" piece was too big diameter for tank outlet, and had been forced in with some caulking, causing the split. I cut the 3" pipe flush at the hub, probably a mistake since now I can't try WME's solution of grinding a bigger inside diameter on tank hub. When I get vehicle back from mechanic next week, I'll attempt the patch with mesh, and look at my options. In retrospect, should have tried to grind outside diameter of 3" pipe before cutting. Linda, do you have some leads on pipe parts and blade valve that would be better than Home Depot and the local RV store?

Turns out what I thought was a flexible drain coupler was a bunch of bicycle inner tube strips and wire that was hiding a nasty crack. The crack was caused by forcing a 3" drain pipe inside the tank flange. In one of the photos you can see the remains of the pipe inside the drain side of the connection. I cut the pipe off flush with the pipe hub. Two projects : Tank outlet repair. I'll try Linda's method of abs glue mixed with pipe shreds on the inside of the cracked outlet. Connecting the two pipes: not sure. Diameter of the gray tank outlet seems oddball size. Standard 3" drain pipe is too big a diameter to fit inside, but the standard 3" drain hub isn't big enough to fit over. Any ideas are appreciated. Thanks!

Thanks for the reply.. I just wasn't sure what was under that mess. I assume it's a flexible coupler. I did get some advice to try a Fernco plumbing coupler to connect the ABS drain pipe to the tank. Will give it a try- after I drain the tank!!!!

Does anyone have any experience with this problem? It looks like a few well-placed hose clamps might be a band aid fix, but has anyone replaced the coupler, and any idea where to get parts? Thanks for any thoughts on the subject.

Hello, I just bought a 1990 Seabreeze and was searching for operations manuals on plumbing, electrical, propane, etc. No information from previous owner, but I did find a CD of scanned manuals (the way I understand it) on E-bay for about $25. Does anyone have any experience with this, or other options? Thanks!
