My #2 son-in-law and I ran up and back from Atlanta to Berry College in
Rome, GA. It was British Car Day at the college. The round trip was
202 miles. The coach ran great. I've completed a total frontend
rebuild. Coach is nice and tight going down the highway. I had
repaired a loose ground for the A/C clutch last weekend so we gave the
A/C a workout. About 90 miles into the outbound leg the A/C started to
squeal. No problem figured I retighten before return leg.
Walked the car show. There were a couple of hundred cars. In a weaker
moment I gave my SIL one of my Healey's. He's working to restore the
3000.
Got back to the coach and worked on tightening the A/C belt. I have one
of those no-longer available belt tensioners. We cranked up the Onan
and fired up both A/C units. Here's an issue. The circuit breaker on
the Onan pops after a while. Any ideas?
Ride back was uneventful. A/C cranked cool air. The fan clutch would
kick in every now and then but the water temp stayed at 185. Is the
heat from the A/C causing the fan clutch to engage?
Changed the oil yesterday. Took a Blackstone sample and dropped a
Mondello magnet into the filter and added ZDDP. We're headed to
Charlotte for the NASCAR All Star Race this weekend. I'm looking
forward to the trip where the tools stay in the box. I know all the
work is paying off.
Thanks for all the help along the way!
