Shopping Day. Elkhart Indiana is about an hour’s drive east of La Porte and is the home of RV manufacturing. There are several great places for bargains and obsolete parts. First stop is a few miles north east in White Pigeon Michigan. Bontrager’s is a RV surplus parts dealer with three buildings of misc parts and pieces. I pickup a circuit breaker so I can wire in a “whole house” surge protector (more on that later). $6…what a deal. We find a replacement bathroom light fixture of $15, and a RV AC receptacle.
Heading back toward Elkhart, we stop at Johnson’s Surplus and find the bathroom sink we badly need, as the current one is cracked and needs replacement. At $10, the sink is a great bargain, as well as the $2 for the drain fitting.
Onward to RV Surplus and Salvage in Elkhart. This is a very large building with a great mix of new, obsolete, and used parts. We are able to pick up a new door lock assembly and a vent “pillow”. The vent pillow is used to block out the sun and heat coming in through the shower sky light. Too bad. It turns out that pillow is too small for our opening. Not a good deal.
