    replacement for wedge wood stove

    in Coach ApplianceTech Issues

    Posted

    I found a wedgewood dealer here local and he said he could tell me the replacement I just need my old model number. I went to look on mine but the plate is so rusted I can't read it. Can someone look at their stove in their dolphin and tell me the model number of their stove?

    I have an 84 Dolphin with a 21" wide by 17" high stainless steel Wedgewood stove/oven. The model # is T2130. Mine is in good shape, so I guess I'll keep it. Nice to know that a replacement is no problem. Happy camping! :)

    I've owned a 84 Dolphin with 22r engine and 4 spd stick for 6 yrs. I'm happy with it and it gets good mileage (15-17 mpg) for a unit with 110k miles on it. I always treat the gas with Seafoam before storage to keep the carb working well. Never has let me down on trips. Just can't be in a big hurry. :)

    Just love my 22r w/5spd in my 84 Dolphin. Bullet-proof engine with excellent mpgs. If it wasn't for this Toy, I wouldn't be RVing. Also, lotsa fun to work on, bringing her up to date. Working on the upholstery this year, among other things. One of these days I'm gonna post a pic of "Cricket". :D

    The coach battery doesn't drain the truck battery. That is because of the isolater, I believe. Could it be that your idle speed is too low to chg up the battery? I don't understand the mechanix real well. Just trying to help.

    I was wondering, if you plug in coach, if it charges truck battety as well as coaches? Hopefully, soon you will get a knowledgeable answer from the pros here. :)

    I can't drive... 55!

    I usually get 15-17 mpg out of my 22R w/stick shift, traveling 55 mph, on a good day. If we're bucking winds, considerably less. When I travel long distance, if there is a bad headwind, I camp for a while. Tailwinds are, of course, a real mpg booster! :D

    It, also, helps to be retired and in no hurry. :)

    Please help a noob

    I have a 84 Dolphin and have always been afraid to walk on the roof. The roof looks fine, but I thought it would be a good idea to remove and reseal vents, seams and windows, some day. I weigh less than 150#, but not sure of my roof's strength.

    Would soldering the "adapter" to the switch be reasonably easy for a beginner to do? I'm sure that I can solder. Just not sure about the rest. Maybe some pics?

    I have leds in my new car and fridge and like em. Sure would help cut back on battery use, when boondocking. :)

    newbie bought one...how'd i do ?

    Congratulations on your new Toy.

    About your batwing. I installed a new wingard batwing antenna on my 84 Dolphin with booster. I get more channels on my new digital ready 19in tv, than I get on my basic cable at home. Excellent reception. Of course, it all depends on your location. Sometimes I camp where there is no cell reception, unless you climb the highest river bluffs & call. Now that's campin! :)

    We plan on dragging our 10 year old torti on her maiden voyage this spring. We're quite anxious about it because she's a very skiddish cat. I'm hoping that her attachment to me will be enough to get her used to her new digs. Do you let your cat go out of the RV?

    There's a mention of 'nice pics' on your posting. How do I get to see them.

    The third and fourth posts on this thread have pics. Two on third and click on "katz" on the fourth. Cute pics!

    gas mileage

    Perhaps he is effective at praying for a tailwind. :D

    I found an easy and effective way to increase mileage while coming north thru California. I find major trucking drivers who are running at 58 to 60 miles per hour and tuck in close behind her/him. I don't use the cruise control as this would be inviting a disaster. This only works on the flat but what the heck, I was driving up the flat central valley. Drafting got my overloaded V6 up to 15.8 MPG (using regular gas) for two tanks in a row. The downside is that I almost ran over the large wheel mounted tire laying in the lane. Couldn't see it till last second. I lucked out and missed it but 12 vehicles on the side of the road weren't as lucky.

    YIKES!!!! :o
