Chinook RV

Kevin,
Sent you a PM

I will be listing my 2004 Premier locally for sale soon and as a long time member I felt I should mention it here before I list it locally. We live in Washington state 30 miles north of Seattle. I am almost 70 and facing a number of health issues and can no longer maintain our Chinook as it should b...

I am not sure how bad that is but I have had good success repairing ABS with a slurry made by dissolving ABS pieces (old ABS pipe cut into pieces) in Acetone. I keep a Mason jar of "slurry" around just for these type of repairs. I use a very thin slurry as an adhesive to bond broken pieces...

I would hope the quality would be consistent with Chinooks of old but I understand that they have little to nothing in common with the Classic Chinook.

When I installed a camera I ended up putting in one and use it full time as my rear view mirror as well as a backup cam. The most work was running the wire from the camera above the rear entry door to the 7" head unit which I attached to the mirror. I ran the wire along the drivers side along t...

Good luck whichever way it goes.

I feel the same way.

I installed a 12V 19" Axess flatcreen (no longer on Amazon) to replace the old boat anchor tv. For power I used the old TV wires and installed a 12V cigarette lighter plug in the overhead.
