Not trying to sound like an infomercial, Rob, just reporting some great performing items that really work when the going gets tough.......Stock stuff in good shape can also work well.
We are in Kelowna, BC tonight parked in a very friendly farmers field arranged by Dan and Judy Borlase who are the hosts here. About a dozen coaches with owners from around the area who heard about the group being here joining in. Got a great "concert" from the farmer and his kids plus 26 grand kids with the older ones all playing different instruments. Tomorrow we go different directions. Three or four coaches head for the Maritime Provinces, others go home and we head for the Slocane lake region for a week, then to Joseph, OR, then to Spokane, WA, and finally back home to southern Oregon. The weather is really cooperative and Dan and Judy have been fabulous hosts here.

Jerry,
Gee, I didn't know you were in the ad industry, I thought you were in the woodworking business; the email below sounds like an
infomercial for 1 ton front ends, aluminum radiators, transmissions, and transmission cooling lines! ;-)
Sure hope the people with plain old OEM parts can make it all the way across Canada!
Regards,
Rob M.

We are out of touch in Canada for this great rolling rally so don't know if anyone is keeping you up to date. The last two days
have been some of the most demanding driving we have experienced in our ten years with this coach. Unbelievably beautiful scenery
and what I'm sure would be amount Gene F's favorite roads. 13% grades both up and down, lots of 6 to 11% stuff, some 20 to 40 km
long. The coaches are holding up well for the most part. It is a real testament to Manny trans, Manny one ton from ends, alum
radiators and the large cooling lines from trans to radiator. Lots of smelly brakes from the coaches without the larger one ton
from rotors and calipers. A few with over heating issues on stock radiators, but for the most part every one is making it. It is
great to drive with 94 octane real gas and no alcohol. More later. Wish you all were here.
Jerry
