The hall floor had water damage. Added a piece of aluminum to firm it up.

Carl, you are correct- no floating or tile or electrical. No sheet vinyl or planks. I'm stuck in a rut with engineered wood adhered to the floor.

I called the manufacturer of one of those mats. The rep said the urethane adhesive may have an adverse reaction with the coating of the wires. So, I gave up on heated floors.

I never install filters dry- priming a series 60 Detroit would be a nightmare

Smart choice.

Booked solid till May 17.

nice job Blake

I have had 3 coaches with tags. First 2 were 40 foot, current is 43. The 43 handles everything better. The 45 Prevosts I have test driven are superior to my 43

I have a 97 - 43 foot Bluebird. This is my 4th. If I sell this one we are looking at Royale Prevosts

thanks

where is Tannehill?

I use contact cement.

or Bluebird- I have a Detroit Diesel Series 60- get 6.5 mpg while pushing 48,000 pounds

Wow- hope I never have a situation like the OP and post it here.

Check out Earthwerks Coventry It is acacia.

10 batteries- 3 engine- 6 - Deka, 4 D size AGM- and 1 generator. If I need a generator- got 15kw Power Tech.

The bulk oil filler is a device that uses the tank, a dial and a small pump. I guess Bluebird didn't want the owners to get dirty adding oil to the engine. All 4 of my Bluebirds had this feature. If you need to add a quart of oil, you move the pointer on the dial, turn the unit on and wait till it dispenses the oil. The 300 amp alternator is so large that it could not cool itself enough with just the small fins so they used oil. Bluebird, back in the day was all about redundancy- extra systems added to the coach- and the price was reflected in all the extra goodies you could add. Each coach was custom made- no 2 coaches were the same.

Well- I have been involved with Bluebirds since 1982. I have owned 4 of them. Plus, Bruce Morris and I were the original founders of the Wanderlodge Forum 20+ years ago. How is that for credentials?

Sure is- it is oil cooled, also.

Since I'm old, what does that orange symbol mean?

Boys, I was standing on our front porch. Here are a few more images and one is the 300 amp alternator. The tan paint is Astin Martin origin

Negative- that is the air intake grill.

Sorry, no plans for that rally.

Not normal - I give folks pieces of luxury vinyl planks to lay on main floor and where the slide comes in thus preventing any damage. Do this and get rid of those rollers that installer put on.
