Thanks for the reply. Whilst I’m not that mechanically minded, I did build/kit out the bus so I’m not dangerously inadequate at this stuff… it’s just not my strong point. However, I do also have some...

Hey,

We’re stuck and hoping someone here can help. I’m not mechanically minded at all. We have a 1998 Thomas MVP ER with a 8.3l Cummins and a Allison MD3060.

We’re touring around the states,...

Done.

Hiya.

So it turns out that updating Skoolie.net is not one of my strong points. My last post was in mid 2018. It's been a busy year, we've had a baby boy to bring us up to a family of 5 (the...

Thanks for the responses. I’ve had a look at the diagram and it definitely isn’t clear on here, the wires aren’t as visible for some reason. I’ll try to get something better up later when I’m at a...

I did see some during our last trip to the salvage yard, but didn’t have the foresight to rip them out. It’s a long drive to our ‘local’ yard, and fairly slim pickings whilst there.

I can relate to this thread. We've got some ambitious goals for winter, similar to yours - electrics/propane/plumbing. It does give you a good incentive to make sure the bus is water tight though......
