Welcome...and congrats on surviving the trip home!

 

[dond]

2K4S cruises way too easily at 65 plus. Most of the way I was on CC and kept it at 55 to save fuel.

 

[Tango-SKO]

Sounds like a "Cruiser"...what engine & tranny?

 

[dond]

5.9 and the dreaded 545

 

[Tango-SKO]

If you can find a 645, that puppy would be a dream on the highway!

 

[dond]

Ta da!!

The lift had it's own g 25 battery through an isolator, that will now power the Onan.

Playing the ins. game. Prog. dropped me in 1 week. Submitted as a non pro conv.

Re-submitted as a MH as shown on my NEW title, got a policy...Time will tell for how long.

 

[dond]

Got the 2 15a circuits started. The load center's in the pic. (20a breakers, all I have right now...15s later.)

C1 will serve the water heater (switched) and 2-3 other outlets.
C2 will serve the window AC and 2 others.

Gen power is the 30a receptacle.

 

[dond]

Plugged into shore power, no smoke and all outlets work!!

working on mounting the Onan now.

 

[dond]

Onan in and running. All electric, gen and shore, is functional. I mounted the gen backwards to make carb and points access easier. No hatch access so crawl under and sit up to work on components and change/check oil. need a tailpipe and muffler, going with a stack.

 

[dond]

Installed a 10 gallon gas tank for the Onan. Fits in the space rearward of the gen. Fills through a hatch in the floor inside the wheelchair door.

 

[dond]

4 batteries and the 40 gal water tank are laying in the bus ready to wire and plumb.
