    Thanks for the info the one on the drivers side front is for the air lift on the bed and the pocket door, we don’t know what the other one does yet and I will change our profile right now.

    Jon…great idea but here’s what they say.

    For the convenience of our guests, we have provided separate parking spaces for recreational vehicles (RVs). Our parking team members will be happy to direct you to the RV parking area upon your arrival. Please note that RVs cannot be parked overnight. For additional information regarding RV parking, please visit http://www.universalorlando.com/hours-information/parking-information.html.

    If you are interested in overnight parking for your RV, please be advised that the nearest campground to our resort is Bill Fredrick’s Park at Turkey Lake. Please call (407) 299-5581 for more information.

    I’ve never been to Universal before so I’m not familiar with the setup. I called Bill Fredricks and they are a 10 – 30 minute drive based on traffic.

    I do not know anything about conversions other than Liberty, but with the ever sensitive electronics and systems I would NOT kill power to the coach until I knew if there was a required sequence to removing or restoring power. I do know it is possible to destroy some inverters if they have 120V imput, but you shut off their ability to sense DC voltage. Some inverters see that as a dead battery and then the inverter tries to charge that battery.

    The main pass through bay on our XL2 is 56x27x94(ish) This is the size I think you could get in there as there are things in the way. It sounds close enough your going to have to try it.

    We had our cruise air compressor replaced last winter, Roger and Donald diagnosed the problem and ordered a replacement compressor. They checked our mid cruise air as well and verified that all was working to spec. They came to our lot in Indio and replaced the compressor on site, on budget and schedule, so I wouldn’t have any reservation calling on them in the future.

    Wow JD!

    Looks like you’ll be keeping that bus another 10-years! Sounds like you did it right …

    Cool pictures, Dan. Looks like you were’nt running the Webasto as there is no sooty area of melted snow near the exhaust. How did you stay warm?

    Would also give your set up a double take going down the road.

    I think the bus owner should of loaded a golf cart.

    Have towed a tri-axle 32′ w/5′ hitch reg and stacker (83′ total) all over with exception of West coast and have never been bothered. No lettering and under speed limit (but not too slow) with only necessary lane changes. Geo.

    no the Aux air is there …. the shop replaced the leveling valve and drove it around put it in the shop .. i just got back from there and she is sitting there proud all ready to go… she hasnt lost anything in 24hrs …… one would think the leveling valve i put in last summer would of lasted a little long, But as we all know things do break or go bad… for the air suspension …. the right rear has been a pain in the Butt — . ever since i purchased this coach… the left and the front will hold air for 3 weeks ….. i will be happy with 24hrs on the right …. They are now starting the interior upgraded/remodel…….

    If I were to guess the three port valve between the tag and drive might be leaking. The ride height could be leaking also. But I think the vintage of coach might possibly have the reverse logic on the suspension system and if that is the case Tom’s question is important.

    With all the discussion of shenanigans, why would you want to camp at WalMart? Buckhorn Lake in Kerrville is a great stopover, and the campground next to Camping World at exit 2 in El Paso has long spaces if you are hauling a trailer–but it’s a lot nicer than WalMart! The truck stop at exit 156 in New Mexico is the cheapest fuel on the stretch from San Antonio to Tucson, and the Pilot truck stop at exit 208 in Eloy has good prices–especially if you have the Pilot/Flying J card. The left pump on the car side will handle a large RV, although the pump is slow–but you save 6 cents/gallon over the truck side. Lazy Days have a nice campground in Tucson.

    I just saw this on a Roadie site I follow. Showing a band bus with a 2 axle trailer behind for band gear. I thought it was 63 feet . My 40 ft mci had a 23 ft enclosed trailer overall length .In Florida I think I was told 65ft at camper world in Orlando. The tour buses are 45ft the trailers appear to be short We never used them on big tours lots of red Peters with 53 ft trailers Would like to know for future camping trips TAG
