Re: [VAC] a/c for a Trade Wind

[Randy Unter]

Wayne, how did you patch these holes? I yanked the original a/c from my '66 Overlander and the roof looks like yours. I'm having Windish RV in CO install a new Penguin in the 14x14 over the kitchen, so have to patch these, currently with a temporary duct tape fix.Windish has to move my satallite dish, so I'm considering putting the sat over these holes. Any thoughts? Randy Unter '66 26' International Overlander "Wayne A.

After I removed it there were 2 holes that needed to patched.  WAM52 '66 TWLY '63 OLLY '56 CARLY WDCU 2000----- Original Message -----From: Bill Scott <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>Sent: Sunday, June 04, 2000 5:22 PMSubject: Re: [VAC] a/c for a Trade Wind > John, your 65 Trade Wind should have 4 vent holes each one 14x14.
