Spruce Aircraft & Speciality did have the part and it is called a camlock. I just hope I gave them the right size. They have about 14, based on the travel of the spring.

However the VAC pendant is smaller 2x4 (I think), so some people opt to go with the smaller size flags. If you go with the larger flags be certain that your poles are tall enough that the flags don't hit the trailer.

Range top works great, oven does not. We've about given up on getting this one fixed and on finding model 727 to replace. Thus we are turning to purchasing new. However, it appears all those out there are significantly smaller. The depth on the new stoves are 3-4 inches shallower, which would leave a significant gap in our current cut-out. Has anyone ever successfully replaced their range/oven unit? Specifically, what did you measure to achieve your fit? Did you face similar problems with size, and if so, how did you overcome? Is there a model number of Atwood, Suburban or Magic Chef range that would fit? Many, many thanks!! molly & tom ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 17 Mar 2003 11:15:12 -0600 From: "Don Hardman" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: Re: [VACList] magic chef for 69 Safari I have a Magic Chef four burner stove and oven that I took out of my 1976 Airstream. Everything works great, I did not need the oven so I installed a cooktop only. I don't have the model number but its series BT22G-47. The cutout measurements are: 20 1/2" wide, 19 7/16" deep and 21 13/16" high. I am in the Houston Texas area. I can fax the materials on the unit if you would like. - ----- Original Message ----- From: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Monday, March 17, 2003 10:54 AM Subject: [VACList] magic chef for 69 Safari > We have a Magic Chef oven in our 69 Safari.

Once knew some GM dealership mechs that worked on a car for a week or so, only to find that the problem was a fuse that looked good.
