I really like your stories, but the pictures of your coach are very impressive! Maybe in the next life ours will look so good! I hope you bring her to TBR 2010 this year so I can drool over it!
One more thing, can you take a picture of how your hitch is mounted? I have one and need to mount it on ours and would like to know how it's attached to the frame.
Thanks Paul, started a project thread here, hope this is the right place?
BCO Thanks Paul, much like an old bulldog with a bone, we just sort of keep chewing on it. Hopefully one of these days we will have a nice old hoopie, not a show stopper, but what I like to refer to as “good enuff.” Last year we reupholstered all the seats into leather and put in a new wood floor, added a small dinette set and some other goodies.
This winter we have incorporated some more changes mainly in the area of lighting and what knot. We now have all red interior running lites for when we travel after dark, these are located inside the coach and they illuminate the interior from driver’s area all the way to the back bedroom.
Fabricated and added six new bathroom lights and that area is a lot brighter now. We are considering a new paint job as this paint is extremely old, chipped and flaking, and it is time for something new and exciting, most importantly, getting rid of the goat!
Most recent improvement would be the new Firestone tires all the way around and the 23rd it goes into the shop for two brand new heat pump air (rooftop models). All total we have five air conditioning units and these are the last two to be replaced and/or serviced. Then it will get some mechanical work (air bags-Jake brake-set the rack) and some other stuff before making the Custer City Black Hills meet in July.
Right now I am relegated to short hops, y’know, get out and impress the locals, stuff like that. Lubricates the seals, helps to quench my wanderlust gene, and keeps me relatively sane.
Here are four shots of the hitch that you requested: We have a two receiver hitch with seven way connectors on both sides. Don’t ask me why two? It was on there when I took it home from the pound. We use the hitch on the passenger side, when we pull our Chevrolet HHR-LT.
The red item above the hitch is a marker/brake light setup. Four markers below the bumper when rolling, and when stopping all 6 illuminate. Stainless steel cowbell for added ambiance. (Yuk-Yuk) The frame shots are not all that good, best I could do on short notice. See you in the fast lane …
