    Default Jon Bus Failure - A Team Summoned

    Major Generator Failure Forces A-1 to Call In the A-Team for Repair.

    Dateline
    Oshkosh, WI

    Jon Wehrenberg. unable to handle the catastrophic generator failure on his pristine Liberty, was for forced to call in the A-Team to handle the highly technical repairs necessary to get him back on line using almost 20kw of energy.

    Stationed nearby, the A-Team composed of JDUB, Granvil and Mango Mike were able to quickly accomplish the necessary repairs to the struggling Liberty.

    According to Wehrenberg "I have no idea what I would have done without the immediate assistance of this highly trained technical crew. Without their superior capabilities I would have to rely on battery power alone, in another words I would have been screwed".

    According the A-Team leader Jerry Winchester "Even a Prevost neophite, like Loc McNew, carries a spare generator belt in case of such an event as this. Since all the Cruiseairs were running in "Suspended Animation Mode" since his arrival, generator usage was imperitave."

    "We were at a total loss why Wehrenberg wasn't fully prepared" states TBC bus owner Mike Anderson.

    Granvil Tracy only had one comment "So this is the casino chic Liberty I have heard so much about?"

    As of press time while technical repairs have been completed, the A-Team was denied access to the interior of the bus to verify generator voltage readings and restart AC units.

    Wehrenberg was unavailable for comment at this time.

    Sounds like the Liberal news Media is at in again.

    I can't believe A1 is out of town without a spare belt for the Generator.

    Tell me it ain't so.

    I will wait and verify that when Fox news gets their team on the scene.

    As opposed to the phantom intersection blocking incident, there are pictures and witnessess. Is the gererator now running backwards perhaps or making sheep noises?

    Jon I see that your generator is placed perpendicular to the bus, is the radiator for it in a split bay? If so how (pictures would be great) are the coolant hoses attached and pasted thru the walls so you can pull the generator out without kinking hoses?

    Good grief, the Ayatollah of Pogolla left the safety of home base without a spare gen belt! And whats up with needing the trusty POG buddies to do the dirty work? Where was the famous one while all this hard work was being done?

    You guys are...... well...... brutal!

    I'm sure that there is somewhere, a pristine spare generator belt, in the original factory fresh sleeve, just waiting for an event just such as this, stashed away in Jon's spare parts inventory.

    It's just gotta be!

    Jon sorry to hear about all the troubles. I had a spare in Grasslands National Park when our gen belt broke. Only problem was the company sent the wrong size and we did not have an A-Team parked near by.

    Always good to have friends nearby.
