Good Day Everyone

Just dropped by as I always do everyday but wanted to break the silence today, so good day everyone

Good morning Dan,


I stop in every morning with coffee too.  Bus is still in the barn but will be out in a week or so for a good warm up ride.  My Onan 5500 was giving me trouble at the end of last year and that will be the first thing on my bus list...

Good morning James. Caught me sleeping in this morning. Great news on getting the bus outside! Haven't paid ours any attention as it's actually done & I won't say that twice! Doing lots of yard work. Good luck on the genny.

Good evening guys. Just got back from the first camping outing of 2023. Felt good to have the bus on the road even if only 1 hour and 45 minutes each way. Ran perfectly. Looking forward to FMCA in Greenville Ohio June 7 - 11 and a week in Shipshewana afterwards.

Good morning Bill. It had to be great getting the bus breathing again and the perfectly part is a 10 out of 10! Looking forward to meeting you in Napannee.

Ours came out of hibernation a week or so ago, not that it was not time,  but primarily to have it pointed toward the gate in case of short notice to evacuate because of the wild fires.
        It appears that the wildfires are now pretty much contained or under control.  The change in weather has also helped.

Good day, busnuts!

School field trip season is flourishing after the plague years.

Getting my fill of long haul fuel consumption, with someone else paying the bill!

Love me some New York City, first come first served!

Happy coaching!

Hello everyone. I don't post much but read often. Bus is in the shop waiting for me to get other projects done that have to be done. I wish I  was working on the bus.

Still intermittently getting a cool morning now & again down here in Central Florida. 59° yesterday & today for early morning. We relish these temps as 95 95 as we call it (temp & humidity) are right around the corner. Hope everyone is having a great memorial day holiday. Thanks to all our military & veterans for your service.

Hello gents. ^^ tonight and present humidity is 95% with 85 tomorrow. Bus is doing fine on the road for our 3 month move and back to our spot for three more. City makes us move it every 3months. Got tomatoes and herbs in the ground this week. The rear ac lost its charge have to look for the leak and figure out what to charge it with. About early 90's'. Hot water heater is back and forth but can jump it when needed. Control board on order.

Cat got into one of our bays and was there we guess for 4 days and did her business all over the bay. Have to pull everything out and steam clean.
Isn't life wonderful.

most ac units used r22 which is no longer available but try to find r 407 which is replacement for it.

Sounds like full timing alright. You probably have the bus "down pat".
One thing we always liked about full timing compared to the multi acreage ponderosa was the decrease in the scope of responsibility.
Cool how you substituted the downed roof air with the portable unit.
How did you make out with the water heater control board?

[dave5cs]

Water heater control board and new thermostats worked great. Don't have to go out and light it as I jump the gas valves anymore.  The board I got from ebay didn't work so I ordered the same number from Amazon and it worked right off. So now I have to look up the ebay one and send it back. Was only 47.00 but will probably have to pay shipping back where as Amazon don't have to pay shipping.

Dave if you put up a stink about paying return shipping because of the product being defective that might concur. I've done it several times with success. HTH

Thanks Dan yep Amazon is easy to send back not so on ebay. The second one I got stopped working now too so will send both back for a replacement.

The new air was shutting the main off in the bus and then remember the roof tops are on separate circuits so I cut loose the rear 110 wire put in a plug with it and made that the dedicated circuit for new air. Works great and waters our herb garden outside too.
