I seriously doubt if that year coach had a 5 speed. More than likely a typo.

Again Jon the macerator was just where you said but not on top of the holding tank it is over the holding tank up in the air in a dark place hard to get at it.

Rear engine access door, stbd side, this one fills all tanks. The one in the steering bay is for aux air only.

Where do you put shop air into the bus? Rick

Use regular Sikaflex Construction Sealant available at the likes of Home Depot and contractor suppilers.
This is if you have a panel removed and wish to attach it. Not talking about caulking joints of panels already riveted.
Look for gray, but since you are only sealig water intrusion and not bonding panels any color will work as you will not see it outside the joint. A thin bead along the rivet line will spread nicely and seal the joint. Too much in the joint will be too messy and could make it wavy.
You didn’t ask, but additionally apply your panels when they are thoroughly hot, how hot is up to you. Cold is a no, no.
Way back when, the joint compound was a mixture of clay, linseed oil and turpentine, better know as glazing putty. There are still some areas where it can be used.
Prevost also uses a “putty like tape” (you can find out about it at Prevost) it is thick and comes in a roll and when applied the wax paper separating the layers on the roll is peeled off and the over panel is applied.
If you have large voids to be filles after assembly, such as around electrical wires entering a box, use your imagination here. You can use non hardening fire stop putty 9340k11 or 9340k22 McMaster-Carr.

For back up generator auto-start I would keep it simple. I would set the primary generator to start at a higher voltage than the secondary. As a simpler alternative keep one generator a manual start, and the backup an auto-start. The transfer switch just has to be set up so if both are running only one is supplying power to the house.
That coach is getting heavier and heavier. There will be no sense in planning on shore power because with 7 AC units 50 amps will not be anywhere near adequate, and to make the coach work as you envision I’m thinking you are going to need a number of batteries.
The maintenance on the coach is also getting to be substantial.
