    Please do not forget
    it’s not the original engine
    to my knowledge
    3 air conditioning systems are in the bus
    roof, driver and floor

    Parts of the coach are really professional done
    Other parts not
    after the builder / owner parted with the bus it was over with the proper care
    the mileage is correct
    under 6000 mls
    it reflects the tires who still look like new
    but from the stamp code are from 2005 all around
    same with the provincial inspection sticker
    2005
    engine and engine department is not nice to look at
    why ?
    where is the problem to paint or at least clean the engine before you put it in ?
    supposed to redone internally
    sounds and drives like that
    someone told me they changed the most stuff with the engine still in the frame
    bottom line the engine does not match the expectations you see inside the coach
    period

    What runs off propane. Thats enough gas to power a cooktop for years. Water heater? Furnace? What? Although I am not of the opinion most of the prevo crowd view propane as a big negative.

    I wonder how big the fresh water tank is it looks huge.

    Regardless how much u turn up the hp in a bus when the coolent temp gets to 210 the ECM pulls the HP back and when u turn one up in a bus with the rad in the back that is what tends to happen so usually u can turn one up only so far and it will then benefit to some degree.

    I told Cat to stay away from mine with the rattle cans. The absence of fresh paint displays the petina only a good piece with many miles can provide.

    My best friend in Germany said the same
    better to leave the engine like it is
    looks honest nothing to hide
    but it’s for sure no showpiece

    Huge water pump. What toilet did he use?

    That fridge will run for about a month on 1 20 lb tank.

    The panel is interesting
    The generator has only 108 hours
    does that fit to the mileage of 5500 mls ?

    Paneltronics has a lot to choose from. Ive used that stuff before thats what ill use in mine. I like the look it kinda dates it but i like that era.

    Here is an old project i did with paneltronics. Analog gauges and manual switch. Fun project. I like the way they format and organize the panels. DC volts and amps on the panel and AC volts and amps to the left. Between just the 2 sources Granger and Paneltronic i put everyrhing togeather. They r both still in buisness too!!
