just east of Gunnison headed east today.  It had a bit of yellow trim and towing a yellow Dodge.  
Where you headed Ron?  Thought you were gonna be in Ouray a couple weeks.
Tried calling but guess we were both out of cell range.

Yup we are considering a stay in the north east this year and if so will have to winterize the coach. I will be using the solar system including the batteries to provide power to the house we might be staying in so don't need to disconnect the batteries.
I figure so far the only thing I need to consider is the water system which I plan on flushing and replacing with rv anti freeze and pump through both water pumps and through the entire water system including toilet faucets and sink drains. Also plan on flushing out the holding tank and put a few gallons of anti freeze in it just to keep the gate valve wet. 
Plan on putting the tires on wood planks and draining the air system and treating the fuel and keep a full tank. 
Also prepping for mice.

Any other suggestions would be helpful. 

Brad

Hi Ya'll, 
 Just got home from Alaska and was having some issues with my entry door, it only holds on the first click, I have to pull it closed and use the deadbolt to hold it closed all the way. I haven't taken it apart yet, just wondered if anyone ever had any issues with theirs? Is it a ford part? I haven't called Newell yet they may have one?

Fellow Gurus, after receiving a minor change to my orders it appears I am not going back to Japan. That being said I am preparing to list the Big Pink Bus, "Tom's girl" in the near future as boys are off to University and Heather is back to Japan and I am living in the bus down here in Altus OK. The bus has 10 new air bugs 3 new RH valves, new 6 packs front and rear, 3 roof iar co152,300 miles on the DD 8V92 two stroke that purrs like a kitten and roars up grades pulling my 20 foot car-hauler. Interior was remodeled by the Guru himself and it is really puuurty for a classic coach. If you know of anyone that is looking for a great classic this is the one. They can email me or join the group and IM me...I have more pics than Baskin Robbins...I hate to give her up but think it is the right thing to do since she needs to be enjoyed...I have lived in her for the past 6 months and have loved every minute...

Hi,

I have a question about my AGM life-line glass matt batteries. Yesterday i went down to pick up my coach from

having the HWH system fixed & all my coach batteries were dead. When i open the compartment all the battery

cases had been cracked open at the seams. The batteries are going on 4 years old. Does anyone know what would

cause this? Coach is plugged into 120vac 20amp outlet about 5 or 6 months a year.

Replacement cost $676.95 each plus labor (186lb ea). Sure would like to know what caused this.

down & out again.....

Nice to finally meet, great guy, beautiful place.. and he's doing an outstanding job refurbishing his Newell. The interior panels he's putting his toy barn should last a bazillion years at least... He's not really in the middle of a cornfield .. It just looks like it.. Angel

I didn't mean to hi-jack Alie and Jons thread on dash air but since it hit a "hot spot" with me I'll start a new thread. Dave Holmes went through my basement air units a couple years ago and it seems that each of them will blow cold. Also it appears that they are all dripping water from the evaporators. I think the problem is that they don't duct enough air to the front where all the solar gain is. Also, the thermostats for the two midship units are right across the aisle from each other in the kitchen area. You can see one of them on the wall to the left of the door in this pic. The other is to the right and the third is just to the back of the chair in the foreground. The salon area evaporator unit is in the cupboard just under where you see the coffee maker. I ducted that unit to the front to just above the passenger seat. I'm considering ducting the driver side unit (which now supplies the bunk and outlets just above refrigerator ) to the front and moving the thermostat (now located in the bunk) to the wall just aft of the side window.
Before I do all that I'll try to get Dave back to check the pressures....I should learn how to do that my self.
