I have an 84 New Horizon 21ft. The Atwood hot water tank has got a split in it and I need to replace it. Not quite sure how the fittings are removed. Is the tank itself just sitting in a cradle or is there mountpoints to undo? The propane heater works great, so just the tank needs to be dealt with. Any sugesstions or manual links would be greatly appreciated.

After much discussion on the pros and cons of buying a motorhome, my wife and I decided it was not fiscally responsible to make a purchse. And then we got one. So much for rational thought. Knowing that the bigger and older units in our price range would be maintenence heavy, we chose an 84 Toyota New Horizon with 68,000 miles on it. Luckily the previous owner kept a well documented file on all the work that was done. Everything works and the tires are new but the interior was not a priority and so that is my mission with this motorhome. I am in the proccess of re-habing all the paneling (sides and ceiling) there was some water damage before the roof was replaced and resealed. Recent heavy rains proved the reseal was successful so now onto the sanding, staining, painting etc. I am also going to tackle the exterior and try to improve the cosmetic factor so my neighbors will start talking to me again. So far, I have spent about $150 on stuff at the hardware store ("...really honey, I need this new orbital sander") and it goes into the shop on Tuesday for an extensive tune up. Our first planned trip is the yearly treck to Bristol Tenn. for the NASCAR night race in August.

It's the 6 lug and the 1 ton chassis

Awesome! Excatly the kind of resource I was searching for. Thanks so much!

Its a stick. New batteries, tires are fresh. I looked all over CW and could not locate what I'm looking for. Also went to a few sites that lead nowhere.. Yeah, the seals around the windows are my first priorty, they are all pretty beat. Would like some fresh weather stripping everywhere. I'll give that caulk strip a try. Thanks for the info.

Just bought an 84 New Horizon with 68k mi. Everything works but it is need of some interior/exterior care. What is a good parts site for weather stripping, window seal, cabinet re-hab, etc? Going to be an ongoing project, just taking my time. Appreciate any info, we are looking forward to going down the the road with this neat little RV!
