Chinook RV

Hello, I am new to the board also, so welcome. I have the same type of windows in my 72. I wish I could tell you where to get direct replacement parts. eBay does have a variety of "slide window channels". If you have it out you may be able to match it. Good luck and if you find the outer r...

Hello, Are you sure it is not the stove or hood making noise? Your rig is probably to new to have a regular oven but I wrap my oven racks with towels and have hold downs for the cook top grates. If I didn't they would make a racket. Just a thought.

Hello, I saw your new rig on RV trader. What a beauty and a deal! Congrats. I have found that high tire pressure and no load will make most truck suspension feel harsh. Running your tires at the maximum inflation pressure will help mileage on the open road but will rattle the rig like heck on a wash...

Hello, the smell may be because your P-traps do not have water in them. The sink and shower P-traps will allow the smell to vent into the living area if empty. Hope it's that simple.

Hello, with all the virus precautions going on here in CA, I keep my Chinook gassed and ready to go for trips that may require a bathroom break or even a bite to eat.

Okay, here is a picture of an early Chinook 18+ door window, this is the inside of the door. Is this the type of window you are looking for?
Sorry to here about the break in.
