Exactly why I bowed out of that particular soon-to-be-argument, but some insist on making it a federal case...
What I can vouch for is the fact that when I worked at AutoZone, we had a special on DuraLast top-post batteries of a certain size group. They were stacked on the concrete floor as a display. EVERY SINGLE ONE of the batteries on the bottom row (that sat on the CONCRETE) had problems. None of the others did. Can anyone EXPLAIN that? Call it what you want. Agree to disagree. Back to the OP's build... What's new?
|
The batteries must have been laid out in an east west direction. That will definitely do that. If you want the batteries topped off, they must be in a north sound direction. Sorry, had to put in my 1 1/2 cents.
Bus is looking great by the way.

they say it is RV/Marine, but neither the box, instructions, nor anyone on line mentions using it on an RV. Lots of people using them on their boats.

Re: 87 Wayne Lifeguard international S1700 CXXVI
Cute. Gives it a bit of alien mystery. Looks like it works good.
Actually, the front of the bus looks like a dogs face with nose and ears and with a top knot on his head.

Re: 87 Wayne Lifeguard international S1700 CXXVI
i had a mishap today. was cutting down large branches in order to move the bus forward a couple of feet so i can finish installing the awning. when i got down from the roof i noticed this:
one of the large branches must have bounced up and broke one of the windshield panes. i wonder if anyone knows where i can go for bus windshield glass.

Re: 87 Wayne Lifeguard international S1700 CXXVI
I had a small crack in mine and the weather has made it travel all over the place so I will have to replace mine eventually as well.

I have three Wave 3000 BTU models. Bring in Oxygen?
Let me assure you that my bus is NOT air tight. If it was, I would leave a window open a half inch. As it is, I have enough air coming in from my front door.
Presently, I also use Electric oil filled heaters, therefore, I only use one of my catalytic heaters. My electric blanket keeps me toasty at night.
I sleep with my coveralls, wool hat, socks, and if it is cold enough, I get in my sleeping bag.
As I am writing, it is 47 degrees in the bus. Yes, it is cold.

thanks Accordion, im pretty sure my bus is not air tight either, when ever they give a warning like that about adequate oxygen it worries me, but i dont want to be leaving windows open. 47 degrees is pretty cold to hang out in Accordion, try to stay warm where you are at, its hard to type at those temps.
