Hey guys, I have a friend who owns a '61 GM bus conversion with a DD series 71. He was going down a long grade near Ashland, MT when the engine began to overheat. This, obviously, is not what one would expect. The engine shut down, but he was able to restart it when it cooled down and move it more off the road. Coachnet will be coming in the morning to tow him to a repair facility. What I am looking for is any recommendations in the Billings, MT area (nearest big town) for repair facilities. My phone # is 951-236-5312, or e-mail me directly at [email protected].

He says he had just topped off the coolant this morning before they started out. I'm thinking it must be one of a few things......water pump failed, blown water hose, bad thermostat, or lost fanbelt.

Anyway, if you are familiar with the area and can recommend a repair facility that would be great!

Thinking of getting a new GPS, not too satisfied with my Magellan. Only thing I like about it is the 7" screen.
Considering of getting the Garmin dezl 7" or maybe using a 7" tablet with either Co-pilot software, or just using the built-in navigation. I would like to have the capability of height restrictions, turns, etc. on the tablet.
One other thing is why are gps's in landscape mode? Wouldn't it be better if they were in portrait mode? It would give you twice as much forward view of the map. At least with a tablet and the right mount I could use it like that.
Anyone using a 7" tablet for navigating in the coach?

Garmin has just announced a new version of the 760 LMT specifically for RVs. The difference appears to be the inclusion of

Quote:America’s RV Parks & Services Directory. This comprehensive listing of RV parks and campgrounds contains nearly 20,000 sites in the U.S. and Canada, including national and state parks and privately owned campgrounds. America’s RV Parks & Services Directory lets you search by preferred amenities – such as pet-friendly, on-site laundry, electric hookups – so you can easily find what you want, away from home.

They are also including BaseCamp software with the RV 760 LMT. However, it appears you can download BaseCamp for free from Garmin's website http://www.garmin.com/en-US/shop/downloads/basecamp.

Well on my '93 I had no problem on 30 amp running what I needed to.
But with the '98 and the SCS basement a/c will I have any problems if I'm on 30 amp?
I do have a splitter to plug into either 2 30 amp or 1 30 + 1 15 amp.
I have the Coleman Mach thermostats and what I understand is that if I switch the fan switch to low then only 1 compressor on each unit will run.
And I can run the Aquahot on diesel. So I guess I'll be ok on 30 amp.
Anybody did this?

the 3m clear plastic shield on the front of our coach looks terrible. it has started to yellow and has dings in it.

we are putting a stainless trim piece across the front and newell strongly suggested to remove the mask at leas where the stainless strip goes. i had read online about how there is no easy way and many people ruin their paint doing it.

well today, darlene decided to take it off and of course she was right again and i was wrong. or at least too conservative.

working on it for late morning and all afternoon, she has about 1/4 to 1/3rd removed with no damage to the paint. i believe this coach is imron and very hard paint.

she is using a hair dryer and a heavy plastic chisel that steve bare had and scraping the shield off in strips with it and then using goo gone to remove the rest of the mask.

there is no easy way and i helped her some this afternoon. she hopes to have most of it done tomorrow. that will be some kinda record from what i have read about removing this stuff.

later

tom

This past Friday we arrived in Janesville, WI to overnight at a Walmart. As we exited the Interstate the speedo was working, and so was the cruise control. The next morning both had stopped working. Have checked fuses, and wiring inside coach, but will have to trouble shoot back to the engine compartment. Can anyone tell me where the speedometer sending unit, or sensor is on an '82 Classic?

Has been raining the past two days so haven't pursued the outdoor trouble shooting yet.

I have several dead bulbs in the small overhead lights that I want to replace. I am hesitant to try to remove the bezel using a screwdriver for fear of screwing up the light. How are these removed?
