CAN ANYONE HELP ME OUT I AM LOOKING 4 A TRAILER HITCH TO FIT MY BUS DO I JUST BUY ONE FOR A FORD E350?

[james843]

sorry about the CAPS

[Stuff]

thats what i did. infact i tried to put it on today... the spare tire holder is under there and welded to the frame and was in the way... just look under and see how far back the CHASSIS frame goes. mine goes almost all the way to the rear but not quite.

[james843]

my bus has the frame goes all the way back then bumper bracks and bumper but no spare under ther wen i got the bus the spere was inside by the back door with a hook style tie down with a big wing nut onit

[Stuff]

then you got lucky! just measure from outside of frame side to side and measure inside side to side. then also measure how much frame you have to use to mount to long wise. thats where my problem came in.

[james843]

cool thanks for the info i will be on the look out for one now

[james843]

my wife picked up a rooftop A/C to put in the bus do to thay told me $2000 to fix the existing A/C. so i am going with this roof top it is a older coleman unit needs some cleaning up and maby a need top shroud

[james843]

can any one help me out on what size power inverter i will need run that A/C

You'll also need a trailer to carry all the batteries you'll need to run that ...

[putterspitt]

a locomotive, not being smart, really, its just not gonna happen

[james843]

what size generator you think i will need i dont know much a bout the A/C other than it is a
coleman mock II

[lornaschinske]

You need to run a/C units off a generator or shore power. A 13.5kBTU air conditioner would require too many batteries/solar panels. We power a rooftop Coleman TSR (13.5K BTU) off a 2.5K generator. I would suggest that you use a 3K generator as your minimum size. There is very little power left when the A/C compressor kicks on at the same time as the refrigerator compressor. When the freezer compressor kicks on at the same time as the other two compressors, it drags the generator down almost to the stall point.

(We have an electric only refrigerator as well as an electric only freezer in our RV... ditto the skoolie except we have two refrigerators instead of one)

[james843]

cool thiaks i will only be runing the a/c off what every i get

[Stuff]

a 3k would probably be best. better to have the extra room rather then hitting the limiter all the time!

Honestly for getting the bus air working to me $2000 sounds excessive. Don't go to a regular automotive repair place. Try asking a place that actually does the bus units.
This is probably the best link I can find.

[james843]

well, they said $2000 to fix the a/c in the bus becasue when I got it someone had put a new motor in it and there is no compressors, brackets, or a/c lines, just the unit that hangs on the bottom of the bus behind the drivers side of the bus and the piece that is in the roof on the back.
