A local person who had previously viewed my 21 has found a 2006 17B that he's interested in. He can likely live with the cost but the major concern that he has is the availability of major parts and appliances.
Anyone with an older 17 have any comments or had to replace items like the fridge, hot water tank and furnace? If so, were there any problems in fitting new models into an older trailer?
I haven’t had to swap out the major components of my 2010 15B, but the fridge, water heater and furnace models used in my trailer are all still available new. So I’m assuming, perhaps naively, that they would fit. You might do a parts check to see if the 2006 components are still produced.
Just replaced rear window in our 2010 because it had lost the seal and was foggy. Exact replacement available from Lippert, fits well. It was manufactured for us, (4 weeks) and I expect they can do the same for most all windows originally furnished by Hehr (recently purchased by Lippert).
