  1. cabinets are cherry, flooring is acacia- looks great to me this has been the choice of many of my clients, although I did not post photos here
  2. Since, like Mallie, we have a coach that has 300 gallons fuel capacity. I haven't a clue as to what the cost is per mile.
  3. Day off The floor registers are available at Lowes. Those pictured are cast iron
  4. The OSB is in a large sheet close to 25 feet in length with no seam. When I installed the diamond plate and added the patch to help with the slope, the engineered wood went down without any issues. Everything seems nice and solid.
  5. The hall floor had water damage. Added a piece of aluminum to firm it up.
  6. 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.
  7. 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.
  8. I never install filters dry- priming a series 60 Detroit would be a nightmare
  9. Booked solid till May 17.
  10. 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
  11. I have a 97 - 43 foot Bluebird. This is my 4th. If I sell this one we are looking at Royale Prevosts
  12. or Bluebird- I have a Detroit Diesel Series 60- get 6.5 mpg while pushing 48,000 pounds
  13. Wow- hope I never have a situation like the OP and post it here.
  14. Check out Earthwerks Coventry It is acacia.
  15. 10 batteries- 3 engine- 6 - Deka, 4 D size AGM- and 1 generator. If I need a generator- got 15kw Power Tech.
  16. 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.

  18. 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?
  19. Sure is- it is oil cooled, also.
