C'mon Jon.... it's easy.

Just do what I do.

To me, I'm best at looking at the pictures, rather than reading the words. Learned that from a publisher guy named Hefner...

Anyway, I look for the smiley face and it tells me all turned out well....

Paul, I got that part. It was everything up to the smiley that I did not get.

Jon that is a lie. You now more modern science than any ten people on the forum. Not counting all the ancient wisdom.

Well Jon, we all can't be bus experts, even if we try. Hell, I JUST learned today about bleeding the water from the air tanks, nobody told me anything about that. I hope there isn't much more I don't know that could cause my bus harm. Now if mine was new enough to have a computer, maybe I could talk to it and tell it how much I love it.

Geoff,

Every one of us has learned our coaches the hard way. Through experience. Sometimes we get lucky and someone else gets the experience and posts it so we all can learn and react before we have problems.

One of the biggest problems any owner will have is trying to keep pace with the maintenance requirements on the bus. The house has its needs, but those are less critical, such as remembering to clean or change air conditioning filters.

Maybe others are the same way, but I have to get out the manual, not only for the bus, but even my cars from time to time just to reteach myself how to work the radio. I'm not kidding. No two are alike, so just the ability to push the right buttons in the right sequence so the radios will do an automatic search for nearby radio stations has to be relearned.

Today I have the pleasure of reading the books to try to reset all the clocks.

But with the mechanical stuff I can see how to do things. There aren't a lot of little electrons running around my Norgrens or slack adjusters so I can handle easy stuff like that without reading the book.

You are right of course, I want to learn as much vicariously through POG and other sources as I can.

I guess I can learn the bus as I did MS-DOS when I got my first computer, by just picking up the damn book and reading, then trying what I just learned. Only problem is with this, if I broke something on the computer, no big deal, on my coach, different story. But that is what POG is for, right?
