    One quick question, do you have a full mud flap across the back end of your bus ?

    My red button circuit breaker popped on me on one of my Atwoods while camping. Jim (Coloradobus) advised using a pencil with the eraser to use to reset the button due to wire connections in close . Good thought,good luck

    Paul, You may think the garage is storage only but don’t kid yourself. Seriously. Even if you never intend to learn which is the business end of the screwdriver every single one of us with a garage takes advantage and uses it to wax the coach, clean the windows, put air in the tires and the gazillion other things we tend to do when we putter around.

    If you have any desire to branch out beyond just parking the coach and want to get into doing even basic stuff allow plenty of room to at least open the rear doors and walk all around the coach, even with a tall ladder in the way.

    Trust me on this.

    Eternabond is really great stuff. Just make sure you cover it as it does hold up if directly exposed to UV.

    Fred,

    Fantastik IS a really service oriented company. They stand behind their product for life!

    If the fan is to be mounted on the outside of the coach, I suggest you use the old standby ribbon putty. It will allow you to remove the unit to clean the screen. It seals the screws just fine.

    Tony,

    Be sure to check the CDOT site to make sure that you can legally take your 45 foot bus on the road to get to the campground. The CHIPs are notorious for picking on motorhomes for the 65 foot total length and the 45 foot vehicle limitations.

    If my memory is correct I believe the full level on the 8V92 is 10 or 12 gals.

    For that short period of idle running time there would be no harmfull effect to any engine part.

    I totally agree with you Jon. There are 3 heat zones with this system, perhaps I should turn them on one by one and check for leaks that way, then I can perhaps isolate the leaking section……… unless someone has a better idea.

    Buddy,

    Since he arrived at 9:30 pm and left at 6:00 am, do you suppose he paid? I’m wondering if he was the one the office was talking about on Thursday?:)

    Buddy,

    My steer axle weight full of fuel, water and all our junk put’s me right between the 90/95 psi range on the Michelin 365 chart and I add 5 lbs, making it 100. The Royale being a 40′ and using 315’s called for 100 and I kept them at 105.

    Jon,

    What weight is your coach running on the steering axle? I have been running 105psi on my 365s and am getting a fairly harsh slap on expansion joints, pot holes and other pavement irregularities.

    Thanks,
