Tom,

After almost 3 years, Pam and I are able to be back on the road again.  I have spent the last month repairing and replacing items from front to back.  It's amazing how much stuff I have forgotten about all the different systems I once thought I was pretty familiar with. So after saying all that here is my question.  Is it possible to download the entire forum?  I was thinking how neat it would be if I could read up on everything while Pam is driving us around and when I'm relaxing in the evenings.  We are going to take a short 3 day trip to Arkansas this weekend to test and check everything out.  Our destinations are usually in the mountains and it's hit or miss if there is any wifi or cell service.  I just thought it would be great to have all this past knowledge that everyone has shared at your fingertips when needed or researching.  I totally understand if its not possible, not knowing how many TB's that would be needed, or if it's even something you would want to do, it was just a thought.

Thank You, for all you do in keeping this forum going, I have solved so many issues by just reading the information that you are storing and providing for everyone.

Jeff

The guy who bought my bus is having trouble with the alternator not charging. Is there a fusable link or circuit breaker on the charge line on alternator?
The alternator is a Leece Nivelle with probably 4000 miles on it. 
Thanks

The fan for the bedroom heat is not coming on and I've narrowed it down  to the thermostat being the problem.  

The fan works just fine when I jump the 12v+ wire to the heat output on the back of the thermostat, so for whatever reason the original thermostat is not sending the needed voltage to the heater fan.

Since the thermostat controls both compressors on the AC and the heat I'm not sure what I can replace it with.  

Has anyone replaced the original PSG thermostat with another model that will work with our AC and the heat?

Thanks 
Tyler

Just wanted to share a project that I completed today. 

I decided to fix a couple of bay door skins that had started to come loose.  The wet bay door had started sagging and the small door next to it was coming loose at the bottom.   I wasn't for sure how difficult of a job it was going to be so I started on the larger one and got it finished first.

At first I thought I could do it with the frame still attached to the coach but ended up removing it to make things a lot easier.

Removing the old double sided tape was the toughest part but by the second door I had a pretty good system.

Once both sides of the aluminum mating surfaces were clean, I had Hannah help me set the frame onto the skin.  Once the tape touches the joining surface there's no going back so it had to be perfectly aligned . 

Total cost was about $150, the 3M tape was $125 and the roloc disks about $25.

Our 1984 will not raise to ride height. I can switch it to leveling, and get it to come up.  Brake air is rock steady at 120. Supply air seems to be losing about 10lbs per minute . I should be able to hear a leak that big, but I have not found it . This is not an emergency yet, but it will be when the snow comes here to Iowa !

Does anyone have the part number for the 90s allison ht 740 output shaft seal? I had oil coming out of the weep hole, tried to get the part from an allison dealer/shop but the serial number only pulls up the long bore output housing with the retarded, no the shorter coach /tour bus version and will argue with you that the bus housing style doesn't exist. I attached a picture of the seals, top is the one they sold me, bottom is thr one I pulled out of the housing behind the yoke shaft and in front of the bearings. 

I'm about to put the whole thing back together with the old seal cleaned up and oiled, reassemble everything and limp to Vegas, because we are 80 miles south of Elko, NV and I can't get any help here. We are going to pull over at every rest area and check fluid levels and top off accordingly. 

Oh, if anyone needs it, the retaining nut on the yoke is 2-3/4 and it took my 1" pnuematic to Crack the torque. 

Thanks!
