The Co-op: Sorry guy, I’ve been away…..well not away but man just busy…….

This survivor is all but ready to meet it’s new forever home.  Note our 3 primary power switches up front, new 16.5″ tires on Weld aluminum rims…..The motor still sporting a carb has been tuned, new wires, plugs, carb adjustment, timing, etcvalive covers were leaking AND the fact the dash AC still has that monster A-6. dash AC compressor that has that equally monster upper bracket …..we’re leaving that all of!  When the dash AC is resurrected it will be cheaper and better to have it converted to the Sanden compressor system at that time.  The motor was pretty dirty but we couldn’t put that nasty metal back in could we?The guys are giving the living area systems some love before it’s picked up.  The direction is it will be driven south for the winter where the new owner will refinish other things before it goes into service.  Stay tuned as the coach hits the door.

I said goodbye to Nutcases this weekend driving it around town to be sure the new Ford F150 radiator would do the job.  He’s being put into service testing 3 drive trains we have to installIrd REAL life is as a drive train (motor and transmission) check out stand.  This week this motor and trans will be removed and Jeff M. New drive train will go into initial total service in Mutcedes BEFORE the 30 your process to install it in his coach  I know a FEW people who will be glued to this progress.

For those of you at the GMCMI convention, I’m doing a motorhome fire safety talk at 1pm, if you’re bored go rake a listen.  I’m dedicating this talk to the Duggers you may remember had an accident leaving the last Talahassee rally where they lost their lives.  If you are at the rally, please come to the talk.

So I need to prepare for that this morning so I’ll cut this short.  The guys are on task today, a little rainy which means cooler temps……its beginning to become the reason I live in Florida!  Call if I can help, thanks for dropping by and I’ll do my best to not have big lapses like this in post a…….hey, its as much for ME as it is for you!  Thanks and see ya later……..

Man, check out Eleganza’s diamond plate food box…….keeps other critter she doesn’t catch out!Yes, that’s her custom made bed by out upholstery……”pleather”……only the best…..
