XL belt-line problems

Curious as to the business you are in to give indicators. Do you mind sharing them.
Curious as to future as I have a large investment working that should have been marketable 5 months ago but due to lack of workers we are a couple months away.

If you did your homework before buying a coach, considering the importance of a pre-purchase inspection, a budget to handle the use and costs of owning a coach, you have done all you can do.
Bernie can see indicators, but so can we all if we look for them.
As to supposedly knowledgable people putting out on-line videos take 100% of them with a grain of salt. If you want information from experts look for real owners, especially long term owners who are very involved with maintenance, the costs of ownership, and who have the specific conversion you seek or own.
When they have their own money in a coach from acquisition to care and feeding you are getting the truth. Pay attention to Bernie’s opinions, just understand he is biased towards Marathon, and against one conversion in particular. We all have opinions and sometimes we cannot avoid expressing them, but Bernie’s opinions for the most part are valid/

A1,
You and I both know my points are valid and biased only because I know the difference and when some people on here get going with the kool aid it needs to be corrected.
We used to debate on here good or bad but it served a purpose of people being able to get knowledge of what we are talking about and get a feel for the differences in converters.
What I see now in the bus market is don’t tell the new guy anything you don’t want him to know. Your cruise airs suck or any number of things that would influence buying that bus. What a shame.
One more thing Bill. That’s a seam not a beltline.

Whatever it is, it’s the same line shown in the OP’s post.

Bernie, I shouldn’t say this, especially in print, but your comments are pretty much on target. But if the preponderance of Marathons had OTR I likely would be driving one.

Blasphemy!

Now that’s just funny. Who needs the Comedy channel.

Does anyone know what brand of Paint Country Coach was using in 1992?
-
Ok so i am getting close here to figuring out my Bus paint. From what i have found out my Bus was painted at Prevost with Indian Silver Metallic then sent to Country Coach for the rest of the paint. Harbor Freight has a $9.99 spray gun i am going to purchase to run some tests. I have some areas along the roofline i am going to reshoot then the clearcoat.
-
Got to love Harbor Freight. I have purchased various “cheep” Harbor Freight tool to just through ONE job. 10-15 years later I am still using the “cheap” tool. LOL

I agree Chuck, these paint guns have 4.5 starts with 4K reviews. They don’t sell different size tips for thicker or thinner media, so i plan to either make my own tips or modify the existing ones.
-
Ok we are getting close to shooting paint, Awnings gone, Ladder gone, body work is done. My bus has 6 colors that are affected by all this, I got some 4 ounce samples and shot them on coupons today to verify the color match. Should be ready to start painting next weekend.
-
We are moving along, 6 weeks of body work removing the ladder and all awnings. Paint work has begun.
-
It’s been a long 4 months but i am finished with the body work and paint. Leaving for Quartzsite Monday.

Mike
