FYI:
My Brother Mike passed away on Veteran's Day after a year long bout with leukemia.
Mike had owned a '76 Palm Beach for about 15 years, but sold it several years ago.
Mike supplied Arch with the Toronado motor that became the Koba.
Mike also contacted Jim Bounds so I could donate a Birchaven that became the Duramax 23.
Mike, like 4 of His Brothers, served in the U.S. Navy.
He retired from the Navy with over 23 years of service.
He was 63.
The very next day, I lost my 1st GMC (230 Sequoia (The Banana) TZE033V101523) due to fire.
Although I had checked under the air filter and beneath the coach, the investigator determined that some debris must have been under it.
The fire also destroyed my garage and motorcycles.
The Registry has been notified.
Please contact me off list if there are any questions.
Thanks!

So sorry to hear of your loss. There are more coaches and motorcycles, but brothers are not replaceable.

Speaking of fires, as I was troubleshooting my Onan I found it to be packed full of combustible stuff by mice. I would recommend anyone with a new coach take all the sheet metal off the Onan (if they plan to use it) and make sure it hasn't been packed full of tinder by vermin. I really couldn't believe how much stuff I pulled out of mine.
