Sounds like a business opportunity for a mirror manufacturer!

Davy,
the ramps are constructed out of 6 sheets of 1 inch laminated plywood (factory seconds @ $18 each). Cut into 1 foot wide strips. Glued and screwed together with 2 inch screws alternating locations for each layer. I used six layers going from 8 feet on the bottom to 5 1/2 feet on top in 6 inch increments. I use all four ramps for the rear to support the duals and the tag. They are heavy, thus the dolly.
Jon, thanks for the tips on lubing the IFS.

A bad generator wouldn’t normally cause me too much discomfort. But we will be dry camping in the driveway of in laws for a week, just don’t want to run the engine.

Thank you for your kind comments. I really enjoy this group. The knowledge of the coaches, the comaradie, and above all the humerous banter makes this group number one in my book. This site has been a library of knowledge with everyone eager to help anyone. I can think of no newbe who could, in any way, disparage the fine people that post on this site. Again, I will repeat what has been said by numerous people…Tom and Jon, Thank you so very much for this site and if I missed anyone by not knowing the history, those I missed, my hat is off to you as well.

Boater Al and Tom,
Why don’t you want the brake lights to come on?
If you have the retarder on (on a Liberty), in position 6, the coach is really slowing fast. I want people to know I’m slowing.
I really wouldn’t put it in 1, 2 or 3 and roll forever, when it’s time to stop, I’ll go from 0-6 on the retarder pretty quick.

I have gone out of my way to always replace my chassis batteries with Delco 1150 batteries. Two of my coaches had Interstate when I bought them but at the first indication they needed replacement I got the Delco batteries.
Admittedly 5 sets spread over about 25 years is not a scientific study, but they were always still doing well when I pulled them after 5 years. In fact I have had such good luck with Delco batteries in the vehicles over the years that is what I try to use in all my cars. The exception is the Optima batteries are used for my generator and now for my 50 Ford because it will be in the trunk and I don’t want outgassing from either.
I am seriously considering two Lifeline batteries for my next chassis changeout if Tom can assure me the heat in the engine area will be tolerated.

I see his posts on Facebook and it appears that he and his bride are currently in Las Vegas sans bus.

Post or email pictures and particulars of your old chair if you don’t mind, Peter.

I have plastic tanks in my bus. During our trip last week, my plastic freshwater tank appears to have developed a crack and is leaking a gallon or two a day. I will have to pull apart the cabinetry in the bay to see what is really going on, but it is clear that the tank is not leaking from any of the connections, so a crack seems the likely cause. I believe tanks of this type can be welded for repairs. Does anyone have experience with this? any ideas on what could cause a tank to crack? We were driving in cold conditions, but had the bay heaters on and did not experience any problems with the water lines, so I do not think freezing was involved at all. The bottom of the bus looks perfect, so I also don’t think road debris was the culprit.

Thanks Jon and Diane, very helpful as always. The point about building some trade-in slack makes sense. Giving someone an extra $50k say on their trade-in but adding it to the advertised price makes no diference to the overall cost but helps psychologically making the buyer think their trade-in is worth more than it actually is. Assuming the dealer doesn’t keep both bites at the cherry from an unsuspecting buyer.
Definately starting to get a feel for what to ask for as part of a deal and where to start & what to expect.
