Hi Peakbus,


I love the doors. In my younger years, I was an antique dealer, and still can't resist some things- the doors were a total bonus score.


I think the bookcase will be gone tomorrow. One of the local school teachers is interested in it for her classroom.


After looking at the doors this morning and the wall slant in the bus (as the walls rise in height, they begin to slant/narrow inwards), I have decided to reach out to a cabinet maker I know. They do awesome, high-end custom furniture and built-ins for island McMansions. They would be the best bet for me to utilize the doors to their best advantage for the bus and my needs. I just don't want to take the chance and end up ruining the doors.

I've got a 2010 girardin microbird I'm demoing right now. Any updates on your build?

In the long run though, it's all good; I am learning more about my bus everyday, enhancing my skills and finding the confidence to do it.


Send me a PM with your email, and I will send the wiring diagrams over.

I know it's been a while but I was wondering if you had the electrical schematic for this bus?
I just bought a 2008 Girardin and am trying to trace the wired switches to the fuse panel and beyond to the apparatus they control. The prev. owner started renovating it but quit. I've since noticed hanging wires and missing fuses from the fuse panel. Plus I would like to utilize any unused doghouse switches. HELP? Thanks. Bob

Contact Girardin. I was able to give them my VIN and they sent me schematics as well as some other details.
