Ted and Jan - congratulations.
I would be scared of the sortie that may be flown in OKC by the Taco Boy with that comment about last weekend. There may be some orange sheep grazing around the new bus.
Volunteer Orange to be precise, from the school that stole its colors from Tennessee and its intitials from the Buckeyes.
Jon,
Just as a point in passing. While on our round the USofA trip June 2008, diesel was $5.90 in Northern California:eek:. Fortunitely that was the only tank we had to get at that price!
This year on our June trip I think the highest price I paid was the mid $2.50's range in New Jersey - worst truck stop I've been in, just off of I-80 nearing the NY State line. I won't be going back into that one again, in fact I think I'm staying away from the northeast entirely.
See ya in OKC.
ted and jan...wishing you all the best with your new coach...she served us well the short time we owned her...treat her well...and she will you...she did us...best, shookie and linda
Congratulations Ted and Jan.
That is one beautiful bus! I admired it many times on my visits Liberty Coach.
Thanks, Shookie, so far so good and it is a nice upgrade for us. Hope the meetings are going well.
The darn thing looks like it was never used. Liberty has a few things to do but really it didn't need much. The step slide is slow to extend and I think it needs a new cylinder. They did install new chassis batteries.
We're right in the middle of love bug season so no pictures until we get home and clean her up.
Now just let me say that I always liked my 8V92T Detroit. Took some management as far as keeping the coach moving along at highway speed, but if you manage the momentum they do fine. With the Series 60, that's out the window. Forget it, if you need to go, she goes. Nothing like what I had become used to and a nice surprise.
The touch screen computer deal is just neat. Took a day to get used to it and the drivers screen is hard to see in daylight, but the important commands are easy to remember.
Our old coach rides like a dream. The new one is so much smoother. I think the IFS is responsible for the ride and there is a big difference.
I appreciate everyone's nice comments.
Don't worry about OKC, Loc. JDUB's boys will bounce back and win the next few games (like Rice this weekend) ((now there's a challenge)) and he'll be the same ole Okie we love.
Jan says we should keep the old bus. She tells me with the way I've been putting them in the shop the last few months, with two we might always have something to drive. I reminded her that I do the humor in the family and that her little comment was way harsh. I don't know what she meant when she said, "but you make it so easy."
I'm going to bed.
Go Big Orange? Yea, they are in for another butt kicking this weekend at the Swamp.
Did yall hear about the Oklahoma Orange-??
it is a multipurpose color.
Game colors on Saturday, Convict colors on Sunday, Litter crew pickup on Mondays.
Ted,
I hope your trip is/was safe and congratulation on the new purchase.
I can offer a comment on the step slide opening slowly. On my Country Coach, the step slide cylinder had a pressure regulator suppling the solenoid that controls the step slide. I assumed this installation was done to prevent the step slide from going out with such force as to injure anyone in the way.
FYI

PS - We are in Jackson Hole and the weather is beautiful.
