Re: how much diesel fuel?

Just saw $3.65 in suburban Philly today. I try to buy in NJ (between .20 and .40 cheaper) when I can.

Re: Engine noise on a flat nose

I test drove a 40ft CAT powered pusher. It was much quieter and faster than my 36ft Bluebird TC2000. I needed 36ft max at the time because of my property limitations. If you plan on a lot of...

Re: HEAT

Sounds like another heater, as long as your winter camping trips are long weekends or shorter, and a decent 0 to 20 degree sleeping bag will warm up the bus nicely. Also, in my experience, its nice...

Re: bench seats

Unfortunately I don't have the original seat foam. After pricing foam I think my 16 ft bench just became 8 ft long... at least for now. Too many other things to buy that seem much cooler than...

Re: Kerosene heat

I use a kerosene heater to heat while tailgating. It has worked great for me so far. I can get about 12 hrs per tank, which I think is about 1.5 gal. I have no additional insulation and the...

Re: More Questions, more organized

Re: Hard start/no start DT 466

I had a similar no start problem with my 5.9 Cummins when I stopped to take a break in a rest stop. It would run ok on starter fluid but would immediately die after I stopped spraying. It turned...

Most that I have seen have been bolted. I am looking to only bolt thru the side, between the windows, to minimize the potential for leaking. I have not yet decided whether I will need a center...

Re: Pennsylvania Registration

Try form MV-426B as a starting point. I think you "modify" the vehicle from a bus to a motorhome. I also remember a different form requiring pics and 4 of 6 additions like separate heating/ac,...

Re: New here. Here is my Bus. Dialup warning.
