Does anyone know the name of the company that sells the living quarters conversion accessories, ie; camp stoves, refrigerators, the framing to hold them, etc?

I got a catalog about a year ago in the mail which I can't locate, from a tack supply store (Valley Vet supply or something similar). This company was advertising in there that they sold living quarter conversion accessories, a "weekender" type conversion was about $5000. Does anyone have a name of the company for me? Thanks!

Jazz Sales has the supplies if that is what you are looking for, I do Living Quaters and $5,000 will get a weekender type package in a 4ft. shortwall.

I think it may have been the rat pac system...found in Country Supply. Jazz sales also has a large selection of items.

Were you thinking about the modularized wall system? http://www.robertsmanufacturing.com/ Nathalie

By the way, the PakRak system is on ValleyVet. I ran across it last night looking for something else.

Also, if you're interested in a really good DVD about living quarters conversions (sans plumbing) then there's one for sale on Ebay. The current item number is 7225404916, but the seller is sankyl912. I bought one recently and it's amazingly informative. They go into different types of paneling, insulation, trim, briefly, and show you step by step how they redid their own living quarters. Pretty cool stuff. The talk on electricity is very brief, too - pretty much leaves that to pros, but the insulation and paneling, cabinets, etc - they're very detailed on all that. I have nothing to do with the sale of these...just a very very satisfied customer, thought I'd share the satisfaction. :)

Threehorses,  Interesting webiste.  When I toured the manufacturing facility for Classic trailer they told me they sub contracted some of their trailer parts to outside vendors.  Now I recognize the parts. And since the Roberts Mfg you posted is in the same community as Classic, I'm all the more sure thats who Classic bought some of their parts from.

Well I hope it's useful. It looked like a nice way to get a package going (and conserve space) for people who can do a little do-it-yourself work - hanging the brackets, etc.

I use a company called RV Surplus in Elkhart for the RV stuff I need and Home Depot for the unfinished Oak Cabinets, Do my own wiring and plumbing. See the link below for my DIY LQ's. Currently doing a 8' shortwall Kiefer for a customer, and 14' shortwall 4 Star for myself.
