You have it made. Inside storage with heat is ideal.
Since you will not be active in the coach, reset the inverters to a low current draw, and you can have power at the outlets, your refrigerator, and keep the entire electrical system alive.

As I said I have already spoke to them. Already been quoted a price that I am sure will make sense.The issue is what I will be aloud to advertise. If you notice you never see current Garmin products advertised much or at all under list price.
Garmin really has come along way in the last few years. I have a watch and my favorite is the bike computer with rear radar. The radar alerts you to cars coming behind you. Truly amazing and life saving technology. If you cycle, have an eBike or even a golf cart I would highly recommend. Garmin Radar I use the 1030 and the Varia Radar. Works great!
I do not work for Garmin. My friend does sell the product, but as you stated the volume that he does with them 20 units means very little to him. My only reason for making this offer is that I wanted to give back a little something to our members.

It looks like your charger has 2 – 12volt outputs. if that is the case, make sure each one is connected to one of the 2 12volt post so it charges both 12volt banks. If they are on a 24volt post they won’t charge anything. Preferably you should be using a 24volt charger connected to the 24volt post of the equalizer for the chassis batteries. (looks like the one in the upper left of the picture, btw the LED comes on with a 12v load)
The smell is from a over charged battery. It’s possible you have one or more shorted batteries and that may be why they won’t hold a charge. The gas is deadly, so stop chargingg until you figure it out. At this point I would replace the batteries – all 4 of them – Sealed Lead Acid type, make sure everything works including the Alternator output is correct and the equalizer is doing it’s job before connecting a charger. IMPORTANT – make sure the charger shuts off while driving (often over looked) It’s possible that the charger can back feed the Alternator causing damage or visa-verse. If it’s not a trickle charger then put it on a timer so it only comes on a few hours a day or only plug it in when you need it. It is possible to over charge new batteries even with the best chargers.

Jon…I took your advice 8 years ago and I also ended up with a flat tire when the Equal was stuck in one of the valves. The Equal was installed in new Michelins by Marathon in Oregon.
The low pressure tire was very inconvenient and I’m sure it didn’t do any good riding on it until I could fill it up. I now have Centramatics.

I believe my window from Prevoist was about 17000 install was 250,00

Everytime I wash the coach before a trip, it rains in the first two hours. So I wash it at the destination!

I believe that it was designed that way for certain weather conditions that can cause almost instant fogging of the windshield. It is most likely a safety thing for a bus driver. Geo

Mike:
Only problem is I don’t like TV dinners. LOL
You are pretty good with electrical and electronics. I can only use up to 4mm wide LED strip lighting. I have found 4mm strip lighting available in 12 & 24 VDC, all sold with 120 V to 12 or 24 volt dc converters. I am assuming I can connect these directly to the 12 or 24 VDC on the bus. I am I thinking correctly?

You will never stop the air from going thru the defroster vents, just the way the system is set up. I roll up a bath to towel (same color as dash) and lay it over the defroster vents. Forces more air through dash vents.

Dennis thank you. That is exactly what we are looking for. I guess from an old car background Jessica and I love the old coaches as well.
How many miles and have you had to do any major drivetrain rebuilds or replacements?

Thanks Jon, sage advice as always.

Sadly, since the glass is now road kill on I 80 and I have no way of confirming if it was OEM glass I’m afraid you’re probably right Joshua.

That site Jeff posted is very useful. The rule of thumb on oil is 1 oz for for every 7 or 8 feet of lines over 15 feet. So you should have plenty. I don’t use weight at all but rather use pressures keeping in mind that they, too, are guidelines. When I get cooling I am happy with, the Eagle has landed. Go slow and add little bits at a time on the suction side. I have been known to add an ounce at a time letting things stabilize each time until I get what I’m after. Old and slow trumps young and fast. Mike

Thanks Bernie, doesn’t sound like the way that shop is run. Maybe new people?
