Took out the tanks yesterday

Broke a few bolts on the way, no big deal
Tanks look real nice, hardly any rost outside and very clean inside
Sender and socks look like new
Hoses all broke at connection, but hey they lasted 40 years and one of the problems is the barbed clamps used the really brake hoses, will never use them again
Today I will take out all old hosing and clean op selector valve and breather

Now just waiting for my new barricade hoses to arrive and it will all go back in with the new filter/waterseperator

Nice. How did you lift the coach? Looks like it is levitating from the pictures...

Yes Magic power !

No, 3 layers of 2" block under rear wheels, high pressure in bags and jacks for safety
Not much space , but just enough

Got out the evaporator, broke both bolts

Now this cannistor, is there any service I can do to it?

Charcoal canister has a thin filter in it. Would stop debris, but little less.

Seems obvious to me: He has those long hub caps, so put wooden blocks
under them. Clever. :-)

I think the coach is laying on it's side. No problem though, if he got it on it's side, he can get her back upright!
