Hi guys

My "new to me" 39,000 mile '77 Palm Beach was driven across the country from eastern Canada to the BC interior and parked up in August of this year. The coach is in a storage yard (outdoor) in the North Okanagan/Shuswap, covered with a tarp. So far all I know is the batteries were fully charged before they were disconnected.

Because of the road conditions and high mountain passes on the routes down to Vancouver Island and the fact she has summer tires on, the initial plan was to leave her there until April when the snow has gone then go up and get her OR have the guy that drove her across Canada bring her down. He wasn't the owner so I'm a bit concerned he may not know the routine for bringing her back to life after sitting all winter. The trip to Vancouver Island through the mountains is about 300 miles and there are three possible main routes, the Fraser Canyon, the Coquihalla, or through Manning park.

Any ideas?
