Does anyone know where to get one of the old-style pump faucets?

Leisuretime-rv.com carries a variety on the pump style faucets. Price range varies quite a bit. Shop around on the internet I'm sure you could probably find one that matches the one you have or get one that's even fancy looking....good luck.

Thanks for the comments on our popup!  We got it at the end of last year and just had our first official outing.

The battery installation was not that big of a deal on my unit.  The angle irons that hold the propane tank were spaced just right for the battery box and battery.  I just placed the box in what looked like a good location and drilled holes.  I did use washers and self tapping screws and put the screws in the low spots so as to not have the batter resting on them.

As far as wiring goes, I already had a red wire that I traced back to the power converter.  All the fusing looked good at the converter so I just crimped on a connector at the toung end and attached it to the battery possitive terminal.  I made another (black) wire for the ground and just connected it to a convenient spot on the frame close to the battery.  I have not added any fuses or switches but have been reviewing other's battery mods and will be adding an inline fuse and power switch when time permits.  I see these additions as just for estra safety and convenience.  Never hurts to have another fuse, or power switch just to make sure.

So far I'm into this for the cost of the battery, battery box, wire, and misc. crimp on connectors.  FYI, I got my battery (deep cycle) at Cosco for a realy good price (I thought, less than $70).

My TV has a 7 pin round connector with the center being power and I'd like to get that hooked up as well but I'll need a batter isolator first.  With that hooked up I'll be able to charge my popup battery while driving and run off the TV battery if needed.  As far as the connector goes, right now the popup has the old four pin connector and I use an adapter that I found at an auto parts store.

As soon as I get my plumbing worked out I'd like to do some dry camping also.

Hope your awning finally get's fixed and you don't have any other problems with it.  Getting one of those is also on my wish list.  My wife thinks I have too many things on my wish list already!

Jeff, if your 7 pin uses the center pin for the 12 volt aux wiring it is wired incorrectly. Here's a link showing the correct pinouts: http://www.rverscorner.com/wiring/index.html

Ooops!  That's what I get for relying on my memory instead of verifying/looking things up first!

Thank's for the link.
