    Your bus should be 11 inches off the ground and if your lucky it may go 4 inches higher. The older the coach the less chance of 4 inches so I would say 3 inches.

    Then you have your Webasto, generator and engine exhaust hanging down so you need to allow for the that.

    Since beginning the test I have not varied from how I use the coach, such as more or less towing with a toad, except for replacing the Hummer with a 1700 pound lighter Jeep Grand Cherokee. We use the OTR as we normally do, go to places we typically went to so things like hills, were no different than normal, and most importantly I drive with the cruise set at 1500 RPM (62 MPH).

    Since the installation of the Air Dog the miles traveled have been 4413. The fuel added, minus 9.2 gallons attributed to the use of the generator was 686.828 gallons for a MPG of 6.43.

    Testing and data recording will continue, but to date mileage seems the same as the prior 35,000 miles.

    Joel, do you have any pictures of the damage that the blow out caused? Was it body related or more mechanical damage?

    Makes perfect sense to me. Do you have any pictures of how you made the upgrade? Did you extend the existing wires or just replace them? Did you have to drill through the box or did it have access? Did you completely remove the generator?

    Last night I found a generic voltage regulator on Amazon for $41. Specs are the same and it even looks pretty much the same. Reviews were fine. Has anyone used this? If it would have been $100 cheaper I probably would have passed on it. For less than 10% of the cost I had to give it a try. Has anyone ever tried this part?

    Bill, If you are adventurous, it is for sure a bucket list item, Regarding tickets, You want to get in to the initial Lottery to get an early ticket, that requires you to have a burner profile and account all setup and ready when the tickets go live. Same process every year. Last time I was there was like 4500 each ticket. The ticket price covers the entire event, even if you only stay a few days like me. There is a nice truck wash, i run my RV’s thru on the way out in Fernley that does a nice initial cleaning of the outside.

    We use our small ones when we’re in the coach, especially when its hot out. Seems to keep the sun out and coach cooler. And creates more “shade” inside the coach.

    When you lost the awning of your Endeaver, is it possible the wind simply pulled the staples out of the plastic?

    yes. Generally, my bus uses about 1 gallon of oil in 10,000 miles which is my oil change interval. Since there is about a gallon between add and full on dipstick, I seldom add oil.

    Not all Liberty coaches were built with aluminum holding tanks. My 87 and 97 both had stainless steel tanks. I believe, but do not know for certain that the aluminum tanks were installed on later model coaches.

    That said, even if a coach of interest has aluminum tanks stainless replacements can be purchased and installed, such as at ETLC. Just adjust the price you are willing to pay accordingly. Those aluminum tanks were not the best idea.

    I’d think a good place for the Jake control would be with the cruise-control switches. Ours are under my left hand.
