The Co-op: 1 delivered and another today

It’s nice to have more and more projects coming in but far better to me and the our customers is having coaches leave out.  Just such a blesses event happened yesterday.  I would have done a couple of delivery pics but John bugged out the minute he got a look at his new dash…FiTech panel….Flip out radio ……… I did a test drive yesterday morning just before John arrived.  5.17.18 morning 9  It’s on the fun side test driving FiTech projects.

Then we got the generator out of JD’s coach to find out why the starter….stopped starting.  This is a Honda EV-6010 so I’m more than interested 5.17.18 morning 10  As we know from years of installing these that reliability is fantastic on these thing.  Yup, the starter shorted out…..pretty odd..they usually open……… but wait, she’s still not kickin……..time for a call to the Honda generator Guru which is Paul over at Pinellas Power Products……..A few tests and we find we had 2 issues…..the starter took out the control module….bummer 5.17.18 morning 4  Ready to go back in…good thing, JD is coming in today from the Florida panhandle!  5.17.18 morning 8  Another test drive yesterday on JD’s coach, man that’s a good lookin dash 5.17.18 morning 7 it too is fitted with FiTech…Jared still needs to mount the FiTech readout panel though.

Ruby’s been getting a little love too while trying to push other coaches out the door.  I hope to install the earl;y style glove box door back on today. 5.17.18 morning 1 The rear cap and bedroom walls are now in and we’re starting on the bulkhead walls  5.17.18 morning 2

 

5.17.18 morning 3    Stay tuned for more…….

I can see by the increase in the hit counter that we are having more folks come by to view this page…thanks and I hope you get something out of watches what it’s like to deal with these old war horses.  Hey but we wouldn’t have it any other way….no cake work but I’m a meat eater!  The guys here are too so thanks for coming by to watch all this.

Stay tuned for more…wish us luck today on JD’s delivery……remember, every coach move that much closer to their delivery when this happens….Yup, keepum goin out…….
