Plastic Surgery Part 3

Here are today's pictures. I didn't realize they took the whole inside of the van apart, too. About the only things still intact are the closet and the bed. The stove, sink and fridge are out and so is the rear passenger seat. Most likely, the bed will eventually come apart, too, as I asked Mike to check the battery box and replace it if necessary.

First, I'll report on the fridge incident. Since they had the refrigerator out, I thought I would replace the drain hose and also clean the burner and chimney. I replaced the drain hose a couple of years ago. Somehow, I cable-tied the hose to "something" that I couldn't see well because it was up in a hard-to-reach spot and behind a layer of insulation. When I went to remove the old tubing today, I cut the cable-tie and then pulled and pulled and pulled until about a foot of tubing came out of the hole. I came to find out that I basically cable-tied the tube to itself. There was nothing TO cable tie. The tube just goes up through a hole and attaches to the drain tray in the inside of the fridge. That was my big DUH! moment for the day.

Now on to today's pics:

A better angle of the lower body panel. If you ever wanted to know what a Dodge Roadtrek's black water tank looks like, here it is. No wonder why our sensors don't work all that great. The tank is only three inches deep -- if that!:

The driver's step removed.

An update of the rear quarter panel:

And here is the inside -- sink and fridge removed. Now should be the time to get a new faucet while the sink is out:

And here is a Ha-Ha photo. Note all the seeds. I don't even know what kind they are, so I have no idea if they're Connecticut seeds or Massachusetts seeds. I've had the fridge pulled before -- twice, actually -- and I'm sure whoever pulled the fridge did not leave all those seeds there.
