Some of you will remember this story as I have told it before, but worth
retelling. I took off from San Francisco to LA to delivery my daughter and
her stuff to USC. Unbeknown to me, we had left off the alternator stiffener
after some work. Left early, dropped quickly and hit the road. Quickly
thereafter, I ate the first belt. In the next 400 miles, I had replaced 15
plus belt. My average time to replace was less than 4 minutes. I found the
biggest problem was finding inventory. Bought 6 at one parts store. THEN I
ENGAGED THE BRAIN. Started the gennie which charged the battery which
brought me home without a worry about replacing the belt. That was a 23'1973
Glacier. Still love that coach. Owned by Bob in Las vegas.
