Hi Guys, to answer your question about tradewinds, Yes I was there just before the rally at lazy days this past spring. They installed three new a/c units for me and changed out my front tv and cleaned up some extraeneous wiring up inside my coach. They also painted the a/c units and sattelite dome to match the coach . they did a fine job with a minimum of fuss. We needed someone in our area that can handle these coaches and so they should be able to help you guys out . I have them on my list along with Jeff rowe who also does good work and ben Cummings over at Parliament coach who is the west coast guru of florida. Im looking for kickbacks from all three LOL just kidding . I think you will be happy with their work.

Great new seats
Hey Rod and Nancy, will we see you in OKC. We are in need of cockpit seat work, too!

Great looking seats ! Congrats to you and Stitches for their amazing work.

“If it is, the engineering was done and there is absolutely no worry, he knows his stuff…”
I’m worried. Looks like he would have engineered some taillights in that you could see from behind.

For you old timers, is that Peter’s bus from WA? If it is, the engineering was done and there is absolutely no worry, he knows his stuff…

Take some pics of the license plate and post it here so everyone will know which coach to NEVER buy if it comes on the market…!!

That’s the plan then…breakfast at Pocketstone then on to Glacier Park.

Grant,
It’s a bit of a drive from poulson… but if you haven’t been to Glacier NP it’s worth the drive…

The charts don’t ask for a higher pressure specifically for the inside tire of the dual setup versus the outside tire, but they do spec a higher pressure for both tires in the dual setup versus pressures spec-ed for a single tire, such as a tag or steer. One can assume the fact that one tire ( and we know which one) in the dual setup works harder is already factored into the pressure load tables.
I have a feeling if you’re measuring the temps at the center of the tread you’re effectively measuring the road temperature. To me the sidewall temps, especially a few inches away from the tire shoulder, where the tire deflects and flexes the most, are more telling of the flexing, frictional, and hysteresis heat generated by the tire.

I have no money, I visited Jeff last month.

Stand by Jack, Jeff will see this…

You’re right Jon about so many places to trap liquid. Thought this might be a good job for a Detroit shop to do but not sure they will do a better job that I can.

Well yesterday I finally finished the brake chambers on the drive axle. Those nuts were stuborn as well but at least they are high up so I could get a 2 ft breaker bar with and additional 2 feet of pipe to break them free. The original bendix chamber (according to the build sheet and bendix cross reference) were 30/30. when I pulled of the existing chambers they were 30/36 so I went back with 30/36. A much bigger spring and retaining screw/nut. So I know these were changed at least once the 20 year coach history.
All new hoses and chambers, Soap tested joints under pressure and no leaks.
Replaced the double check valve (I hate working in the bumper compartment!) and I now pass Jon’s test.
I’m also feeling the Norgren love today. I set the coach at normal ride height yesterday and turned off the ignition switch. The coach is still in the bubble after 24 hours. Both sides of the rear have settled an identical 1 inch and the front has settled 1/2 inch. Not perfect but I’ll take it. Still sitting just to see when it will bottom out but should be at least 4 days. Of course to get those results I have added air to the aux tank twice. I still have some aux leaks which I will attack this winter.
I also found a small leak at the primary pressure sensor in the bumper compartment. I’ll fix it this winter also. I just could not do another game of twister in that compartment. Still dropping about 30 psi overnight on the primary and secondary. More bus fun to come.
