Hey Red, while you are out there bring your mower with you and cut the grass. By the time you get there the sign might be obscured with the weeds. I guess TDOT does not have mowing money either.

That is a big piece of history. I remember seeing a large spread on that coach quite a while ago.
For the youngsters on this site the Newman is not Ryan Newman who did drive for Stewart Haas, but Paul Newman the actor and race car driver.

Buddy,
You want to watch who you pick on. I can change your password and not tell you.

Last week had the same trouble. My thermostat controls all four roof units. After much hair pulled turned ot to be a small on/off switch on the bottom of the trermostat that was pushed unknowingly to off when cleaning. Never saw it before, will never forget about ever again. Once switched back on all was cool!

Very nice Charles. Did you get your PC discount at Elkhorn?

Looks good Peter!
if you have time could you share a picture of your LED Rigid lights you installed in place of the fog lamps?

I did not have to remove the reflector. I had to use a little bit of force when inserting the pins.
I did a total of 48 and after the first couple of lights you get the hang of it.

Yes, you are correct. Allison stated to me they have a fix for this by dropping the transmission module and installing all new steel sleeves. I’m getting this done on my coach tomorrow at Allison. Cost $1500.

Thanks Jon. I have narrowed my serch criteria down (although its just about where it always was). I will be shopping for a Liberty xlii, non-slide, would prefer Girard awnings but will accept Zip Dee. No bunks…I’m single. I believe I have found one that clicks on all cylinders so to speak but am hesitant to mention which one as there are only a select few, and I wouldn’t want someone to get interested in it. I have read all the posts and comments and articles concerning the pre purchase process and will NOT let my peeked interest in what I preceive as the perfect coach get in the way of common sence.
BTY, I dont see a spell checker on the header withing where you type your posts….am I just missing it? -
A very minior exhaust leak on a 8-V 92 will cost you boost. Been there done that..Look for any carbon traces before turbo..

After being in business for many years, I agree, being the sole employee has it’s merits.

As usual Jon your analysis is right on the money. As I understand the history of the coach it started life in Indiana and then moved south to Louisanna and Texas. The previous owner told me he did not change brake chambers or air bags in the 10 years he owned the coach. ( I priced the coach knowing this and tires essentially out of date). I suspect the chambers are original. They were not leaking but I wanted them gone. I did not expect to find the clevis pins locked solid and it will be interesting to see if I have better braking power now that they are “freed up.”
Prior to the norgren change I did have the leans on the right rear. I’ll be interested to see if they are cured. But won’t be surprised if they are not. I previously had the middle air bag on the right rear replaced because it was leaking at the bottom seal. I don’t see any corrosion on the bottom of the support plates. Between the plate and the bag won’t be known until I replace the rest of the bags. Currently planned for early next year.
Yes it will be earier to maintain in the future and I have learned a lot about the coach in the process. I know much better what needs to be routinly inspected from the underside.
I’ll post back with some additional results as I get back to the job.

An oil sample is a good thing as a snap shot of the engines current parameters, but the ideal information is a history of samples showing any trends over a period of time and mileage.
