Merry Christmas to all you nuts! I was thinking about making overhead cabinets for my 4104, both for the front sitting area, and the rear bedroom. Is there anysite that would show how these are attached to the roof and walls of the coach? Any tips and adivce on how to do this would be greatly appreciated. I can handle the carpentry part of it, i just want to make sure they stay up there when finished! Man, i was working on my winter to-do list, and it is a long one, looks like i will be leaning on you guys for lots of info over the snow months coming. Enjoy your day! | ||

Don't know how much you tore out of your bus...but I used my package trays that were already there & built a frame & cabinet doors for them... | ||

Hi Bob, At some time, the package shelfs were taken out. Basically what is left is a small shelf running above the windows that was used as a wire chase, and a good spot to put some accent lighting. The shelf uses up the space without giving back much storage. I would like to put some cabinets there, and run the wires/accent lights underneath. BTW, it is a beautiful day in northern Minnesota. I was out this morning and for the first time i located the emergency shutdown valve in the air intake. This is thanks to reading about it on this board. The guy that sold the bus to me never did point that (and much else) out to me. I will have to chk out why it is not wired up to the dash switch, but at least i know what to look for back there if the need ever arises. Hats off to the best bus-nut-list i have found!!!! | ||

I have to respectfully disagree with you Bob. It is not only for a runaway engine. I personally had the rack stick open on my 6-71. The engine did not run away, It just stayed at 2100 rpm. I used the emergency shutdown to turn the engine off. And on, it did not damage any seals as many have preached will happen. Richard | ||

Using inexpensive aluminum angle stock is the easiest way....  Just drill holes top and side, screw it to the ceiling, and to the inside of cabinets to anchor them up... (uhh.. I'm assuming you still have the ceiling?) |
