Is there a way to store an unmounted tire that eliminates dry rot concerns?
I like the dispersed spares idea. We did this with airplane parts to keep from getting gouged when away from our home fields, although we usually overnighted them to each other which made it easier. What’s freight on a bus tire? 🙂

Both definitely have to be on for the system to work properly.

“Could have used them for a custom cabinet or shelf to replace the old built in coffee maker.”
Great idea!

They may say that, and it may be correct, but I still wonder if they have proof as in an actual test. As they say, the proof is in the pudding!

Wanted to give everyone an update on our AH replacement. I did travel to just north of Denver, CO & had John Carrillo replace our (water) leaking AH. John was able to get his hands on an model 600D which has twin 2,000 watt (120VAC) heating elements.
In prep for the new twin electric element AH, I needed to run an electric cable from my engine compartment to the 4th bay on the curb side where my AH was located. Parliament coach had placed an extra 30 amp circuit that was wired to the engine bay, but not in use. I ordered 25′ of Pacer Electric 10/3 round boat cable, 25′ of Southwire Ultratite-Type NM liquid tight flexible conduit, 2 watertight junction boxes & some screw on NM liquid tight connectors. After running the wiring from the engine compartment to the 4 C/S bay, I had 3.5 ft of cable leftover – just enought to made the final electrical connection at the AH model 600D.
We arrived in Longmont, CO at a beautiful state park named St. Vrain. All of their FHU sites have 50-amp electic at this SP & can easily accomidate a 45′ coach. John was all booked for about a month out, so that gave us plenty of time to make reservations for the state park and do some touring prior to our service appt date.
John is a man of his words. John obtained the twin heating element AH model 600D. John had to convert the new style wiring with the 600D to my old style AH control wiring, but for John that was no problem at all. John arrived about 8:30am and was completely finished by 4 pm the same day. John put down a blue tarp on the ground and made sure none of the antifreeze spilled on the ground. Very professional work. When working and his phone rings, John lets it go to voice mail. He did not even stop to take a lunch break.
Bottom line, I have always wanted a twin electric element AH and now I have it installed. The AH heating elements are controlled by 2 separate circuit breakers and during the warmer months, I will need just 1 heating element most of the time. But come colder winter weather, I will turn on the 2nd circuit breaker controlling the 2nd 2,000 watt element and our 45′ coach will stay nice and toasty warm. We will be able to take a shower and heat the coach at the same time using both 2,000 watt heating elements.
I have 4-15,000 BTU roof heat pumps/A/C’s, but for quietness, you just can not beat the soft warm heat that is emmited from the floor registers heated by the AH.
If your coach ever requires a new or rebuilt AH, I highly recommend John Carrillo with Heatmyrv.com John has earned the title of Hydronic Heating Specialist!

Buddy…doesn’t Jon have dibs on all the “waste material”..aka poop for his garden?

You still have pockets?

Last September we drove through Colorado, Wyoming and Montana. Had no problem with Grand Teton or Yellowstone in our bus with Toad. But no way could you drive a bus through Glacier. Roads are tight enough in a Jeep. Great trip though. One of our most memorable.

Geo,
I wasn’t making a reference to the merits or drawbacks of exercising our coaches, but of Allison calling for a procedure as described by the tech.
My position on exercising our coaches remains the same. If you are not going to drive it for an extended period, either drive it long enough and hard enough periodically to get everything up to full operating temperature, or don’t start it at all. I cannot speak about other coaches but on my last two it takes forever to get the transmission up to its full operating temperature and if the coach is not taken out and run on the highway I am not sure a transmission will ever reach its full operating temperature.
