Abbie Normal is now a working girl……..

……..and after a year of set up were getting some payback what is it she has first been programmed to cut?over the past 10 years and longer, we have hand cut all those smooth solid black body side molding kits most dealers have offered.  Cutting these vinyl pieces by hand was tedious and dangerous!

Annies “pinkie finger” router has become pretty talented!with this small router head she can cut the body mold ends, wall panels, cabinet pieces and more in plastic, wood and light gauge aluminum panels like the original dash overlays that we used to have.  Now with this ability we can make our own.

So after a year of jokes about Cabbie Normal over there in the corner…….she works!Thank you Alan for you persistence ……..……

This is something like what’s going into the coach electrical system I’m working with todaythis in Lincoln’s coach electrical system…..the Semlax ACR-160 has double duty replacing the (blue finned) battery isolator…..that pulls .8 volts of charge to the batteries AND replaces the short duty battery boost solenoid! We have positive manual battery shut down sealed switching and resetable circuit breakers foe both battery systems.

The ACR-160 is truly an amazing device…… Will even allow the living area power converter to charge the engine battery if it’s low……automatically!  This primary power circuit is truly a better mousetrap….hey remember I said the isolator pulls .8 volts of charge to the batteries…..this thing pulls 0….nothing!  If you’re into electronics at all you will understand when i say “very cool”!

The day is on…gotta go.  See ya later…….
