My battery wiring recommendation was something you didn’t like before. I guess now that you have what looks like a somewhat typical marine application you can see the value.
My battery storage area is also open to below. In most cases these can be sealed with small below battery emergency drain.

Thanks for all the responses , Rick , I’m looking at the Summit but based on the pictures it appears that it has to be mounted vertically as opposed to horizontally ( parallel to the counter edge ) because of the way the controls are oriented , is that the case with yours?

Hi Luvrbus,
This is good stuff; show us more. Many of us recently purchased buses. Maybe we can give a nod or two to the values on your sheet based on our recent transactions. There’s no need for folks to disclose actual numbers, unless they’re so inclined. It may be possible to offer simple ballpark remarks to help bracket the prices and sort of zero in. According to your sheet thus far it looks like wholesale garners about a 35% discount.

ditto.
When I sign in using your name I can edit. What device are you using? We might be starting to see those issues appear again as browsers and devices get upgraded and the forum software cannot keep up with the changes.

No I just meant if you’re not using the bus turn off the water heater. If for some reason the water heaters get emtpy because of a leak or something, it will burn up the heating elements.
G-Man – You don’t have a 110v button on the bottom of your 12v your panel for the water heaters like this:

Peter, you are a Prince! But!
Alternator is putting out juice, about 70 v at idle 90 + at high idle. have 25v at ign source on regulator but I think my buddy who is helping me said the relay is NOT closing….the relay that the house alt. connects to, it is mounted just to the left of the regulator.
Going to do a bit more testing and report back.

They need to remove the turbo fresh air outlet tube to check for oil. The compressor may be pumping air but allowing pressurized intake manifold air into the crankcase. S60 techs often recommend removing the compressor’s intake manifold line, plugging it at the manifold, and permanently connecting the compressor input to the air cleaner.

Since it was last working have you or anyone done any work in the area under the slide. I was working on mine awhile back and it would not go in fast enough so I helped it with a push and bend the rod. I replaced the piston and when I had it all back together it would only work real slow. I played with the valve adjustments and no help. I took the slide out and found that I had kinked the air line going to the piston. fixed the kink and all is good. If you can take out the slide and look at the lines and piston you may find your problem.

Took me 7 days to see anything on the CC, I didn’t mind using Michelins money.:)

Dick, I have a buddy who was on a deserted country road in Alabama. This old Cadillac appeared and came right up on his rear bumper. Then he passed him and got in front of him and started slowing down. My buddy was able to get around him. And it happened again. Again, he was able to get around. So after a few attempts, the Cadillac sped off. A few miles up the road, my buddy topped a hill and the Caddy was parked across the road! My friend had just enough room to get around and he had that Eagle to the floor trying to find civilization! He has a fingerprint gun safe built beside the driver seat. He was already locked and loaded just in case! Luckily, he came to a town and the. Caddy was not seen anymore. We live in a world where some crazy people would rather kill you and take what you’ve got rather than working for their own. I don’t travel without a way to defend myself and my family.

Tom,
They are a pain to get off… some come right off and others take a great deal of force… When I had mine switched out at Marathon tampa and had a bad batch of LEDs Marathon sent me a little tool that they made… its basically a wood circle same diameter as the ring with no slip stuff glued to it… helps apply even pressure and then you turn… I will try to post or email you a picture..
Hope that helps
Bill

Love the extra five feet! But I know I can’t be the only person who doesn’t like slides. I guess it depends on how you use your bus. Mine spends more time going down the road than parked somewhere. If I were going to go sit somewhere for weeks at a time, I might feel differently. But then, I grew up traveling on a 96″ MCI with a bunch of other musicians. 102″ and 45′ seems huge compared to that!

Grasp the outer brass edge and rotate a smidge, which is more than a mite but less than a dash! 🙂 It may help to apply apply an iota of upward pressure in the process.
Seriously, try to find a loose one to practice on.

Rubber gloves work best, turn left and they should come off.
