I would like to start a new thread but don't have a clue.
Please hook me up:)
Background, I'm Getting Back in Camp mode, and never have been in full road mode.
Purchased a storage coach once used as a construction sleepover while rebuilding their home after a So-Cal Fire in '03,. It had been sitting for 7 years.
ROUND 1 of the Refurbishing - 2012-13 ($4,000)
After Massive CARB rebuild, and just about every other component within 3 feet of it, Including the entire Battery and Ignition System. She ran great...that is, up until 2nd gear.
Then I discovered the value of this Wonderful GMC Network.
Before too Long, my New Manny's Tranny was riding to Southern California courtesy of The Howard Express (Thank you, Howard!) -while getting his 1-ton front end from Jim K (the Man! - Thank you Jim!
Finally in drivable condition (If you leave out Wastewater systems and Propane (stove, heater, etc)
Pulling down a few cabinets to rehang and now hopefully touch up the Interior paint.
Oh, yeah, the Rats -on top of the engine, then under the Bonnet -and through-out the ventilation system, cabin and coach - all the way to the rear bed.... 7 pounds of nests and , well... you know.
The Coach Project has been underway again recently. From storage mothballs to live-a-board. This is Round II. (no rats of course)
Wastewater System
I really need some help understanding the Tank end of the wastewater system. Gate valve under the Body/Chassis area is Bad.
Can I buy the typical generic RV gate-valve or is there something special about the GMC?
Where in the Users Manual is it discussed? On-line?
Any Tips?
Propane System
I haven't moved over to the idea of lighting up the Propane System/Tank (so to speak). Is there anything I should pay particular attention to
aside from smoking anything while working on it?
I'm looking for an adapter so I can just plug in to the system and set it outside the existing tank, on the ground. is that Lame? or should I put some energy into
using the completely empty tank (dummies -that's the ONE thing you don't do. it creates the possibility for moisture inside the tank. So I'm a bit worried that it needs to be resurfaced/sandblasted inside.
which is more than I am inclined to do right now.
Any TIps?
Getting Back in Camp mode -I lived in her for two years, then storage - now back aboard.
