Alternators

[Jon Wehrenberg]

This is the driveway. If the bus did not have the ability to raise and lower it when and where necessary it would not make it into the garage.

I forgot to mention, in that picture the bus is raised fully in the front so the belly will not drag. The reason you cannot see more of the driveway is it is curving quickly downhill.

As Mango will attest, when you pull out of the garage, the drop off is so steep you cannot see the driveway until the bus starts to point downhill. That feature alone makes a night time departure for first time passengers a real treat because all they see is a black hole and the tops of trees at the far end of the driveway, which also has a sharp kink in it down the bottom.

When I come up in the cars, I am pointing uphill, and I cannot see the garage floor until I start into the garage. I am waiting for the first day when I run over something on the floor because I cannot see it.

Jon, Is that a Newell leaving the pit?

It's a Newell that we cannot get to fit in the garage. It is heading for the FMCA show in Charlotte. They were very good to see if I could get one in the garage. I can't.

I can get a new XL, with the awning kit, rear spoiler and the satellite dish in the rear. It takes a little messing around, but it fits.

I hope I don't have nightmares tonite over that hill. That is scary.

I got the alternator back from the repair shop today; they changed the brushes, rotor, voltage regulator, and a few other minor things. $500 Lewbucks !!!! As E.T. would say Ooouch!

Thanks for all of the help guys!
