POG 9 - Country Coach Session -Topics

[mcirco]

Jim Skiff has scheduled a session for Country Coach Owners at POG 9 in Kerrville. I have agreed to conduct the session but I would like some input into what areas we should discuss. As you know I obtained all of the available documentation and electronic spare parts and printed circuit boards when Country Coach was liquidated. I will be happy to bring whatever materials we may need to discuss including the database that includes most of the drawings. My background is as an Electronic Design Engineer so I will be happy to focus on any specific electrical or electronic areas that the group would like to dig into. I have a reasonably full schedule between now and October so I would like your comments as soon as possible so I can prepare and search through the database for the appropriate documentation. Feel free to e-mail me at mcirco@hughes.net if you have any questions or needs.

A CC session? What, that lasts two days? Where would you draw the line?

[Jerry Winchester]

Mike,

That hurts. They could do one entire day just on plastic shields.

I read on another thread about replacing the hot water heater on a Country Coach. Don't you just go buy a new CC and throw the old one away when the heater goes bad?

[MangoMike]

JDUB,

A lot of the wait staff around Mango Mike's are familiar w/ the CC's and have offered a few semiars for POG 9.

“The Mother / Daughter Boards – Incest or Necessity”

“Plastic Shield – Prophylactic or Bling Killer”

“Country Coach Technical Help Line – 1-800-BITE ME"

“10 Ways Obama is Like Country Coach”

“Prevost Country Coach; Will You Have To Chew Your Arm Off To Get Rid Of It”

“Stimulus Money for CC Owners?”

I'll be glad to donate some Webasto "The Good, Bad and The Ugly" time for some more CC seminars.

How about a couple of these?

“Lava Enema or Country Coach Ownership?”

“When The Love Fades – First Electrical Glitch in the CC”

“The CC Digital Dash – Break Thru or Boat Anchor?”

“Country Coach Pre-Buy Inspection – Hell on Earth”

“Country Coach or OBAMA; Will You Be Able To Get Rid of Either?”

“Make a CC Plastic Shield For Your Toad – NOT”

Looks like we will have some comedians at POG 9 - looking forward to it.

It is the Liberty guys that have the swollen hot water heaters.

Y'all be sure to keep your day job.

I've been framed! I expect the taco twins will have some blind sides coming after that retort!

Mike and Jerry, Thanks for the humor. We feel the love.

Miles, Thanks for this contribution you are willing to make on behalf of POG. I am interested in learning as much as possible about the electronics on my Bus even though I have not had any failures. The mother boards in the first cargo bay were intimidating at first. As I learned how they supported our systems I gained confidence in their performance. I would like to better understand how the switching system works between our lighted switch plates and the board section of the computer. I think some owners are confused about voltage in the board section. Is it 12 volt, 24 volt or 110. Also, how does the digital dash collect the information it displays. I have always been amazed at how the owner can select so many different configurations.

Miles, I will give this some more thought and come back with additional ideas. Thanks for the work involved in this project.

Jdub & Mango,

Whats the difference between a Liberty owner with a technical problem and a Country Coach owner with a technical problem?


Liberty Owner - Ring, ring -"Liberty Coach, how may I help you"?

CC Owner - Ring, ring, ring, ring ring, ring, ring - "I'm sorry, that number has been disconnected."

Just for my buddies.....
