maybe a loose armature/bad o-ring on the 5 stack?

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.

Interesting. I have never seen or heard of a mudset base on top of a presloped Kerdi base. Are you going to install Kerdi membrane over the base and curb?

Yes it can and be sure to get the proper torque on it when done. I don’t remember what it is, but I am sure you can find out from PASS or someone here will have it.

If “Hay Julian…” was meant for me
My name is Ken, live in Julian NC which is 5 minutes south of Greensboro NC. Or 15 minutes north of Toyota’s new battery plant.
Usually I drive. My profile is Scarlett my yellow lab in driver’s seat of old bus.

Some bays will be easier than others but the process was the same for all of them.
Only work on one strut at a time, never both one the same door.
Put the bay door up, support it (I used the locking bracket) but a 2×4 would work too. Then I used a flathead or a hose clamp pick to just pull the little spring clamp out enough to pull the strut from the ball joint. Do this on both sides of the strut. Putting them on is easy, just snap them into the ball joint. You shouldn’t even have to mess with the spring clamp.
Now, I say some bays will be more difficult because it’s hard to reach back and high. I used a longer flathead screw driver for these.
If you’re doing the “extra heavy duty” struts for the first bay doors, then the process is slightly different because the the springs need to be slid into place with makes it much more difficult on the hard to reach upper strut ends. For the first bay doors, I had to unbolt the upper ball joint. Once I had it removed, I just put the new strut on the ball joint and then bolted the ball joint back up. Two wrenches is all that is needed, however, you will have to lay on your back and reach way up in there.
If you’re not doing the extra heavy duty struts, then this job is much easier and very straight forward.

a faulty or partially open neutral is a possibility.

Almost finished with my inverter/electrical system. Removed my genset squirrel cage which opened tons of room and setup my 48V system inside there which now consists of 2 quattro 5000w inverters on split phase and 2 SOK 5kwh batteries. On the top is the MPPT for solar, Lynx shunt and lynx distributor and the CerboGX hidden almost above the inverter. Added a powersurge protector for the 50a shore and put an external shore plug along with the touchscreen to control my inverters. This lets me turn off the shore input so I can unplug and/or switch amperage at the plug before plugging in. I can do everything from my phone but this helps.
Unfortunately when setting up somehow the old 48V inverter’s board fried after a firmware update so Current Connected is sending me a new control board.
I still need to put gym mat flooring under everything once I get it nice and clean. Also will be adding some wood and maybe some mini fans to help get some airflow incase I ever run the genny again.
I have room for at least 2 and maybe 4 more batteries in that bay without taking up room for my hot water heater which is going on the left side.
From here the power goes to my breaker panels AND I still have a 12V 5000w inverter which powers a few outlets and an AC unit. I can change the setting to pull 30amps from the 48V (like when plugged into shore) or I have its own shore plug still in the front of my coach so I can get tons of power coming in if I have 2 pedestals. The 12V inverter also still has 10kwh of EG4 batteries.
I added wiring between my panels so incase any issues I can connect everything to one or the other inverter quickly. Not sure if I can find a better solutions to quickly switch from using both to one or the other without multiple additional boxes.

Just looked on FMCA and can’t find option for roadside assistance.

Nope didn’t come with a ladder like it a lot better

I think these environmentalists just want them (Old 2 Strokes) gone. Makes no Diff how clean some run.

Don:
I know a few individual owners have done it. Don’t think any companies have or will touch that.

99 Liberty, 4 horn options. Car type horn, air horns, and train horns. There is also an Ultimate horn with bunch of sounds that play out of speaker behind the bumper.
By the time I figure out what one I want to use, the person I want to honk at is long gone.

Ha ha, that might be true!!!!! One of the coaches there in the picture is actually our coach, but with the former original owner. Also, apparently, the time of the year is a HUGE factor.
