What about using a window cooler at one end of my mobile, opening the doors at the other end to get flow through during the evenings.
During the day using the A/C in the traditional manner to save money?
Any reasons why this would not work?

Re: drop in electric cooktop replacement
Thanks for the info, I did check it out and the box is marked with 2-30amp breakers for the cooktop. I assume that that means 60 total!?

Roof Turbines
I moved into an early 70's mobile about 6 months ago. Now that winter is over I think it's about time to do something about the noisy roof turbines that are there. They were mostly stationary this winter except when a it was very breezy and then they would spin but make a lot of noise. They are the ...

drop in electric cooktop replacement
I have a electric ceramic cooktop in an older home I bought. It is just really shot, we can't get it to even boil water. I'd like to just replace it with a nice newer standard electric coil cooktop. It apears that the top is hard-wired to a junction box under the top and the top is held on by severa...

Re: Replacement Hotwater Heater
It's a gas hot water heater and I'm thinking that in order to put in a 50 gal unit I'm going to have use an exterior closet and put it in there. I live in California and wonder if this is a viable option? Enlarging the area that has the present one in it is not an option. I think cost wise for the u...

Re: Sewer connection
JD,
Great idea with the wax ring, thanks. I did finally find some ABS connections that would work, they just don't seem to make a 3" union like I really needed.
thanks again,

It is in fantastic condition and seems to work just fine except for one thing- The top oven selector control when turned to on...
