plan is to fly to iowa and drive back to n.c.
i am still collectiong info, because i really need this trip to go uneventful.
this is a 75 eleganza 2, TZE165V100157
how many grease fittings should i find if all is stock, location info is appreciated, and if all were empty, then how much grease should i have on hand. i like pictures, i dont think i am stupid, but as i have gotten older i know i may be a little slower than i used to be.
also, i see so much info on air pressures,
i would like to have in my notes the recommended (owners recommended, not gmc recommended) air pressures for radial and non radial tires, and if it matters then with the 16 and 16.5.
i fly out to iowq on june 11th, and if all is perfect, that saturday will be spent changing oil and fuel filters, toping fluids and etc,and heading east.
then tuesday sometime pulling into driveway in n.c.
coach has 117k miles, and at one time was well loved, but i need to assume that the last couple years it has been mostly ignored. wheel bearings and such i will need to be cooperative til i get home.
I will be relying on prayers a lot, common sence a little, trying to be prepared, and hopefully the black list will not be abused.
total trip is approx 1100 miles, and i have already warned boss that if i need another day off i will call him.
i will be bringing basic tools, and buying fluids, filters and hoses once there.
any input besides the idea that i have lost my wind is appreciated, my wife has already advised me of that a few times.
and for the record, it is not lost, there is a small box in back of closet that i keep it in. since i may not used it, atleast i keep it in a safe place.
boone iowa to asheboro nc, i am hoping approx 200 miles saturday, then 300 or so each day, sunday thru tuesday.
