Dick, with OTR pressurizing the coach is very easy.
On the evaporator side of the system there is an air inlet that has a baffle or cover that blocks outside air from entering the system. As our coaches are set up the OTR system recirculates air and does not introduce outside air. Remove the cover or open the baffle so outside air is being drawn in.
Then start the coach and go to fast idle with the OTR system on. It brings in so much outside air that it will be difficult to close the door. The inside pressure will be great enough so you can squirt a soapy water solution where you believe leaks are, and if there is a leak at that location you will see a lot of bubbles.
If you do not have OTR you have to have a high volume blower taped to an open window, a technique used by Prevost and others in lieu of using the OTR system.

Cory, do you ever sleep, 3:26 am?

Charles,
I never leave home without 6 of these for that very purpose.

I indicated my early interest in the first seminar but, the dates did not work with my work schedule.
That may happen again between work and scheduled trips.
Im interested But it will depend on timing and location.

It is coming out of Ohio. I think the price quoted this morning by Elgin was $210 or $230 for the passenger side.

Thanks. That is not the usual finger I get to see.

Dorel, Our bay TV is a 32″ and sits outside the original opening but is not too wide to obstruct the speakers. The smaller model that fit inside was a 22″ and just too small for outside viewing. However, I chose the 22″ model for use in the bedroom. The 24″ was literally 1/4″ too wide to fit inside the opening.
Tom, I need to perform the same operation on my bay TV for external volume control. The old Sony TVs I pulled out had a small line voltage converter installed by Marathon. I guess I could pull that unit off and reuse it on my new Sansung. How difficult was it to get inside the case and to the internal speakers? That 22″ unit has a headphone jack on the rear that serves this exact purpose so bedroom TV functions as was originally designed through the Clarion amp.
Here are some interior pictures. Can someone please teach me how to rotate them?

Excellent bypass job Charles…

Bob, If you have what I call a double bubble- they cost me only $5.11 each. The other light that I see on the later model coaches, and for me that is 2000 and later, are a rectangle surface mount, that are 5 7/8″ x 1 7/16″ and have 21 LED’s in them. they are all 12V and cost about $100 wholesale. I’m not at work, so I do not remember the exact price. They come with 2 wires that have a .180 bullet plug. I’ve seen lots of these style lights with only three or 4 LED’s on Liberty coaches. Maybe, more and brighter lights with all that polished stainless would be too blinding.

On mine (Yours may be different) the locking bolt is spring loaded and will retract (unlock) in the event of an air failure…air is needed to keep it locked. I disabled mine by elmiinating the air source. Obviously, on my bus, loss of air pressure is not a concern in an emergency but, if I still had air pressure, it would be one more obstacle to overcome to get out.

Reminds me of the $45.00 Rollex watches you can purchase in Tijuana!

John,
There are indeed numerous aviators in the group. Even a few antiquers. We’ve owned quite a few antique and classic airplanes over the last 30 years or so and had a 195B that we restored and flew happily for almost 20 years. She was a favorite.
I recently lost my head and became a rotorhead. Anyone know of a Bell 47 in Florida that I could beg or buy a ride in. Like old airplanes I’m hung up on antique helos. Will be flying a Hiller in Sarasota next week. No Brantlys please.

I have verified info from Dave W. at Liberty that someone has a wide smile and just cannot get to sleep. Wife sends him off to breakfast so she can enjoy the comforts.
