Hi all,

Many of you know that Sharon and I purchased a second coach after loosing the engine in our 78 Royale rear lounge on the way to Mexico this winter. Three failed engines later it is sitting in our garage in Kerby, Oregon, with a forth rebuilt engine ready to go in when we get back.

The second coach is a Clasco that the owner of Laminart (high end industrial laminates) took to Clasco for a full redo in 1994. Both JimB and one of the guys who works with him were at Clasco when this coach was built. They both remembered the coach and the owner (now in his mid 90s and living in Naples, FL). This coach has been driven only 11k miles since coming out of Clasco and has been stored in an air conditioned building. The owner insisted on having a $300 detailing done before we took possession. it really is stunning and looks like a time capsule. You can see pics on JimBs Daily Pose.

The coach was taken to Orlando where it got new tires, tune up, belts, hoses and rubber parts where needed. All systems were checked and found functioning properly. We flew in a week or so ago to help with final preparations. We added a new 220ah 12vdc d4 AGM battery for the house and an AGM starting battery for the chassis. We left the front diode isolator in place as the .8 voltage loss across the isolator will bring the alternator output down to the correct long term charging voltage for the AGM batteries. A new three stage charger converter provides filtered 12dc to the house and proper charge for the house AGM battery. We will add a 2000w true sine wave inverter when we get home. For now a small modified square wave inverter powers the chargers for the cell phones, iPad, iPod, PowerBook and LED TV.

We are now at the end of day two of the trip home. I will use this subject as a form of a blog to share our experiences bringing this grand old lady to a new home in Oregon. She has never been to a rally so will be new to you all and I think you will like what you see when you join us for the three club rally in Coos Bay, OR, the first week in October (details on the GMCWS, GMC49ers and GMC Cascaders web sites or email me).

Tonight we are at a remote fish camp on the bayou in Mississippi. The coach is waking nicely and runs more smoothly today than when we started. She does run what I consider too hot at a gauge indicated 205 to 212 after I added a cooling system enhancer product that did reduce the temps 5 to 10 degrees right in line with claims. I can't hear the fan clutch cycling but Jim's guys said they did confirm that it was working properly. When I find the correct fan clutch somewhere on the road I will install a new one to see if that brings the temps in line. Locals say these temps are "normal" for air temps around 100 and humidity near the same. Hot here!

The coach is very solid with every surface a nicely coordinated light gray Laminart product mounted on really flat substrates. Doors close with a reassuring "snick", the counter tops are granite look solid surface, corners are all polished aluminum and light fixtures are chrome eyeball reading lights and hidden twinkly lights. Seating is all light gray leather look vinyl. The overall effect is what I call "who shrunk the Prevost" as it reminds me of pre-slide Prevost conversions of the mid90s. Floor plan is standard GMC but looks larger with all these light interior colors.

More tomorrow.

Sounds very nice. Isn't the feedback to the voltage reg after the isolator on the engine side so the diode voltage drop is negated? After you check the alignment it should really drive nice!

The local Abita Amber beer is quite good.
Give it a try if you can. We sucked up a few of their suds while in
Louisana and Florida last year.

Not Jerry, but here's one place to get it

http://www.amazon.com/Happy-Campers-Organic-Holding-Treatment/dp/B005XEFA
DU

Same one we are now using. It really works.
"Always Fresh" is another one that really works.
We used to use Always Fresh, but Happy Campers was a little cheaper via
Amazon and the free shipping for the 64 oz. package.

I like the idea of the water separator.
May have to look in to that.
We have had only two vapor lock problems since we installed the aluminum diamond plate under the fuel tanks with a kick up on the leading edge.
Each time we had vapor lock was at altitude pulling on a long up grade.

Yes we also run the 3:70 from Jim K.
Works for us here in the western states.
Last summer up over Wolf Creek Pass CO over 10,000 feet
Not a problem running a max speed.
Again thanks Jim.

I have the Marvyn Peck gears that I believe are 3.55:1. I often use second gear over the Grapevine, etc. if I had to replace them I'd go with Jim's 3.70's

The coach loves to run at 65 and I often find 70+ creeps up on me by surprise!

Roy,
I cannot keep track of things. I know your right.
Papers don't lye.
Larry, Marvin Peck and his group had so much problems with their gears,
they decided to have me supply them our 3.55.
They had 2 gears, 1st was around 3.46, 2nd was 3.49.
Marvin was quite a guy, we had lot of fun moments hasseling around on final
drive units and when he wanted me to purchase his inventory of spacers and
bearings, he led me to believe that he was the most underfunded person.
Later I ound out that he had so much
