Had fun with this today!

[scarygary]

Alternator is alternating, Regulator is regulating and batteries are charging! Worked all day today on new head light switch and connector and Hvac switch and connector!

I'm looking at pulling my rear A/C,also. The compressor is bypassed under the hood with an idler pulley and the lines to the port side condenser coils are cut. I figure I'd be better off just removing it, but think it may be nice to have A/C in the cockpit, which would mean a new compressor. . . . Decisions, decisions.
I think that the space gained will overcome the desire to be cool. It'll have a rooftop unit, eventually.

My wiring nightmare...

[roach711]

All my Eldorado wiring was color coded and the wires marked with some non-obvious labels.

If you e-mail your VIN to Eldorado they will send you wiring diagrams for your particular bus.

I'll email them for the diagram. Going to need it moving forward. I stumble through it. Not all matched up but was able to get it working. I'm going to the junk yard tomorrow to get some dash trim I need. Also need a cup holder for the dog house, like the one you have Roach.

[scarygary]

Got some stuff at the junk yard. Bottom dash trim pieces, built in sliding cup holder and new map holder.





Also got the Hvac wired up and working along with the cigar lighter!

Bolting in drivers seat next.

Anyone have an idea about this? There is a separation between the bifold door frame and the fiberglass coach. It does not look like it ever was attached.

If it was a Champion, there'd be 4 lbs of spray foam in there(and not attached.)

Damn! Great find on the cup holder. I'm embarrassed-I looked all over for for a cup holder for the top of the dog house -there make them for every year BUT 95-96. I didn't think to look if there was a stock one.

If it was a Champion, it would have 4 lbs of spray foam in there-and still not be attached.
Great find on the cup holder! I'm embarrassed i checked all over for a cup holder for the top of the doghouse. The make them for every year BUT 95-96. I never thought to look to see if there was a stock one.

If it was a Champion, it would have 4 lbs of spray foam in there-and still not be attached. Actually I have a 6" wide piece of rubber attached to the body + the door. You can see it here before I rebuilt my stairs.

I found a few of them in the yard. Think I'm going to go back and grab a dog house that was in better shape then mine.

Went to take the bus for a spin and the brake pedal went to the floor.

[roach711]

We had that problem on all three of our vehicles last year. I feel your pain.

[sdwarf36]

Yea- I had to do brake lines on on 2 of my vehicles last week.

Sounds like it might have something to do with the master cylinder. Everything built since about 1967 or so uses a dual pot master and front/rear split system so the likelihood of all four wheels going south at once is pretty remote. But if at the master...that's another story. Good luck with it. I really like having brakes on a bus.

[sdwarf36]

Just because you lose 1/2 of your braking axles, it doesn't mean your pedal goes down just 50% more. They go just about the whole way down-worse if you had a long pedal (due to wear or shoes too far away from the drums) to begin with.
Up here in the northeast, rusted brake lines are a very normal occurace.

[EastCoastCB]

Pretty common even here in the southeast too!
Our motorhome just had new lines installed after one blew out moving it around the property.
