Re: Model 05 Silver Eagle
Looking at the specs it says 5.7 amps at 230 VAC. How do you get 350 watts? 5.7A x 230V = 1311 Watts. This is most likely running amps too and the LRA (Locked Rotor Amps) would be much higher. sometimes 3 to 4 times as much.

Re: Model 05 Silver Eagle
The color looks great with your interior We like the idea of having the metal on the ceiling because it's easy to keep clean, allows for the use of magnets for our lamp shades, ceiling drapery, etc. and it's strong/reinforces the roof integrity and provides a strong attachment point for stuff. It is an energy drain no doubt (especially since we didn't do anything in the way of thermal barriers or added insulation/spray foam), but we plan to do an insulated roof rack.

Re: Model 05 Silver Eagle
Love the color. We are going to leave our metal ceiling too. I like how it cleans. We are going to go with the Bus Kote on the roof to cut down on heat.

Have you tried getting work with the local thespian group? That would allow you do get some more experience in front of a live audience. There are people on some of the RV forums who work at the many living history museums who need re-enactors. Apparently they pay pretty well. One couple talked about working at Westville. We may have seen her at the time that we visited the place in 2007. Being comfortable working in front of a live audience would also be great for character tour guide jobs or story telling gigs.

Re: Model 05 Silver Eagle
Can you give me more details about the A/C ducting. I assume you mean the warm exhaust and not the cool conditioned air. What are you going to do with condensation out the back of the unit?

Re: Model 05 Silver Eagle
I am going to put a drain pan under it. and a hose that runs out and down.i use it every day it works great. The hot air exahast out the back and out the roof and the cold air blows inside! I will be upgrading next year to a mini split system. and will use this as a back up.

Re: Model 05 Silver Eagle
Looks great. Like the generator build. But please route the exhaust from the honda either into the bus exhaust or out and away from under the bus.

I need to pickup a welder. Im going to use coduit pipe to make the exhaust. When i run it i turn all the fantastic vents on for air flow. It smells inside a bit. Not good. A welder is on my list maybe for next week.

Re: Model 05 Silver Eagle
If you get a welder...get a decent one. And migs are the easiest to learn & use in my book But, everyone I know who bought a cheapo, Harbor Fright flux core mig soon dumped it a bought a "real" gas-shielded welder. The uses for any bus builder/converter are never ending. And the deals on quality unit like Hobart & Miller are better now than they were 10 years ago.
Just my dos centavos. Best of luck. (from a guy who owns & loves his 2 Millers)
