    It may not affect the folks leasing a coach, but having that much refrigeration on the roof would drive me nuts with the noise, not only of the number of fans sounding like pushing a tornado through a key hole, but the drumming drone when the compressors are running.

    For the dollars involved I wonder if there would be some way to get a whole coach generator powered unit custom designed with multiple evaporators located conveniently through the coach and a large flat roof mounted condenser?

    Thanks for the tips. The dimness does not bother me much but I do not want it dark.

    Hey Guys,

    Thanks for the replys, There are,used to be a couple of companys that put 2 Generators on there conversions.I think the main reason they did it was because they didnt run bus air,So they wanted the back-up generator in case the main one went down for air conditioning purposes. I am in the planning stages and though my shell will have full over the road air,I am just thinking I want a back-up generator for just in case.That may get changed when we get down to it,But I am just trying to build a fail proof coach and the generator is one of the things that has caused me problems over the last 28 years. I know it takes up a lot of bay space,adds weight and cost,But if it is there just the one time I need it that something has happened to the main generator it will be worth it for me.

    Thanks Again,

    Robert

    No diesel smell at all in our ’99 with 160kmiles. But a little bit of diesel will go a long way. I’d double/triple check the fill hoses on both sides. Or just replace them to be certain.

    The pilots on here know that practicing stalls is something that goes on and on. The reason is so the pilot’s reaction to a stall is reflex. Failure to recognize a stall or impending stall could result in loss of control so it is important to always be spring loaded to respond properly.

    As drivers we cannot practice reacting to blowouts so the next best thing I think is to review videos such as what was posted above regularly until our brains are always going to make us respond properly. The recent crash of a church bus that cost 8 lives and the photos of the Newell that got damaged after a blow out will motivate me to keep my foot on the gas and off the brake.

    Welcome to the asylum. You will recongize a lot of the names on here. Great group and no censoring (within reason).

    Take a look at the fuel, tire and discount program available to all members.

    ” I am going to replace mine with blue digital gauges easier to see should look cool and put in temp gauge for inside temp and outside temp had them in my Peterbilt way easier to see”

    Please tell us the story when you do this. What make/model of gauges are you going to use?
