I am fortunate to have purchased my coach from someone that took extremely good records and had most, if not all, the original documentation. I found this illustration the shows 6 air tanks. Is the tank the Accessory tank or the Secondary tank? Thanks

Hi John. Sorry to get you upset, as that was not my intent. I didn’t call the M380 “basically junk”. In fact, I said it is beautiful. As for your questions, yes I have owned a Jaguar and while it was also beautiful, it suffered from a lot of expensive problems and failures that I’ve never seen in other cars before or since. (When was the last time you saw the differential fail in a 3 year old car?) And, yes, I have seen, been inside, ridden in and driven an M380. As I noted, my close friends and travelling companions have one. The problems I described were the ones I personally observed. They are not alone in suffering from these and other problems. Anyway, I’m glad your experince was contrary and I hope you enjoyed the heck out of your Bird. I only mentioned it as an example regarding lemon laws and making sure the converter is around to address problems because, as you noted, all RVs have them.
Oh, and by the way, if anyone wants to see a state lemon law in action regarding a motorhome (which just happens to be an M380), paste this link into your browser: caselaw.findlaw.com/us-8th-circuit/1495337.html.

Matt,
My coach is 8 years older then yours. Having said that, mine has a toggle switch, last toggle switch on left end of bottom row of toggles. If you don’t toggle that switch “ON” no lights, no recepticals, no TV, no microwave, no radio, no nothing. The bus will start and run normally. So take a look and see what hapens if you “toggle Suzie ON.”.

Russ,
Running the engine preheat pump while the main engine is running should not be a problem. You are experiencing a noticable increase in heat transfer which is most likely an increase in flow rate of engine coolant through the preheat coil.
Now if the engine coolant lines were to be connected backwards, then the two pumps would work aganist one another. But in your case, the noticable increase in heat says yours are in sync with one another.
To the folks that have successfully repaired a split fresh water loop in their heaters, please accept my congratulations and my admiration of you expertise. This is above my pay grade and a fine accomplishment. Bravo to you.

Hi Steve…
We’ve been “homeless by choice” and fulltiming in our bus for the last 3+ years. We travel with a rather grumpy 20 year old attack cat and a 4 year old high energy Jack Russell mix. We love the lifestyle and have no plans to come off the road anytime soon. As others have noted, onboard space is certainly a consideration, but not anything that cannot be overcome. It’s all about compromise, after all. Jeff has been a key for us, doing not only the routine engine & gen maintenance, but also installing new water heaters, air bags & norgrens, and an updated auto gen start module for us. As time goes on, we’ll have him do some other upgrades (new refer, floors, etc).
If you have any specific questions, drop me an email.
Travel safe…hope to meet you out there somewhere one of these days.

Have (2) 75 gallon holding tanks on my old coach. Have 4″ plugs in top of tanks and wash um down every time. How do you run them over with a monitor to watch (gauge) them?
