    Gary, this is what you are looking for, the mic connects to the coax and the antenna connects to the front of the box. It has to be behind the wall.

    Well said for someone with a plastic coach! :))

    Hey Brett, what kind of bus are you looking for and we love pictures. There’s a good chance someone here may know it?

    May 10, 2017 at 8:37 am in reply to: New Sewer Hose

    We use the Rhino hose that is very heavy duty. I have used this same hose with the other coach so it must be going on 5 yrs. (It’s still like new). I had to buy an adaptor for it to fit the ‘rose petal’ Liberty sewer connection. :o)

    I use the smaller hose that came with the coach as it fits exiting under the coach and I can close the bay door, etc. The small hose works well if staying at a site longer than several days as I can release the tank from inside of the coach. Otherwise, I just connect the Rhino straight out on the Liberty connection, open valve, empty contents, unhook the hose and put away.

    90% of the time I use the Rhino.

    Safe travels!

    May 1, 2017 at 12:36 pm in reply to: Replacement of the trusty 50DN

    My experience with the 50DN began on my 8V92 equipped coach in which they used a different oiling system integrated into the engine. When I sold the coach it had in excess of 300,000 miles and the alternator had never been touched.

    Fast forward to the S60 with externally mounted 50DN. First alternator functioned to about 120,000 miles and began leaking. Replaced with NEW unit which had the bolts holding the two halves back out and shear on it’s first trip; I assume poor assembly workmanship. Almost lost the engine due to oil leakage from the alternator! Replaced it with a PX-833.

    Great people to deal with, no worries of oil leaks or cross-contamination of engine oil. Unit I bought is a 24 volt, 300 amp replacing my 270 amp. No wiring changes and bolt-on.

    I did have a problem with the bolts holding the alternator bracket to the engine shearing. I assume it MAY be because of the loss of some support for the alternator when the large drain hose is removed. I believe the bolts were originally about 7/16″…my solution was to drill out the 3 mountings to 1/2″ and install grade 8 bolts with no threads (only shank) in the stressed area. Now at 210,000 miles and doing fine.

    Under the cushion in the front there is a tab you pull, then the cushion slides forward and then up and off. It’s above the bar that you would use to slide the seat forward.

    I just hqd had a leak too. A line was clearly rubbing the metal frame and it leaked. I used some plastic repair stuff and it worked. Lucky me.

    April 30, 2017 at 3:15 pm in reply to: Oil leak

    I think you are all correct. I believe I see where a clamp would have fit on the steering tie rod about a foot from the unattached end. I’m not sure it was the Howard system as I see it was adjustable and had a controller near the driver’s seat. There is no indication of a controller and the cyclinder does not look adjustable. I see on line there are hydraulic steering assist that seem similar to this one. I will take it off. Thanks for the feedback; very helpful as always.

    George,

    There has been a change in staff at the RV resort twice in the “group Management” position. With your permission, I have moved you to site 110… it is a much prettier site and is closer to everyone else… Hope that is ok?

    102 actually is off of the river by several yards ….

    If that is not what you want, I will change it back…

    At present, we have had two cancellations but have 13 coaches coming… a good group.

    Hopefully, the access is better… we have not had an issue… and a lot of big coaches come to Catherine’s Landing… so, I hope all will go well.

    Several are signing up after the Bella Terra Event… please do so as soon as possible… good group coming…,

    We will have a suggested “non schedule schedule” for the “non rally rally” … soon…

    Hit us with any questions…

    Hi Corey,

    RE: $149,990 1998 Prevost XL 45′ Parliament Conversion

    My wife and I both like the light interior of that coach. The exterior colors may not be our first choice but it’s certainly not a deal breaker. Does anyone konw any of the specifics on this coach? It’s $20,0000 over budget!

    Shocked! I never meet Peter in person, but you could tell what type of person he was in his long phone calls. What a awesome individual! He will be missed in this small community and certainly in his equine business.

    Condolences to his family! Rest In Peace my good sir!
