    Shipping New coach

    When I had mine towed from Texas to Colorado they had to cross state lines at Oklahoma and Colorado and I was told they could not legally tow it with the smaller wrecker so they did overkill using a giant rig. Besides charging me $10 per mile, they broke my driveway and did about $1200 of damage...

    Shipping New coach

    This has been done before. Bob Drewes once towed a GMC at least a couple hundred miles by removing the inner shafts. I don’t know what he used for a towbar. He towed with a large pickup. I believe the Curtis’s towed the frame of the burnt double bogie, 10 wheeled Midnight Express from the Bay...

    Transmission cooler lines

    Jon— It really doesn’t take any odd fittings to install 3/8” lines. When I changed my lines years back to 3/8” I just bought standard 3/8” pre-flared steel brake lines. They are available in many different lengths. I recall buying two fittings that would go into the top of my transmission. I...

    Coach AC

    That single wire likely goes to the door switch. When it’s grounded you should get a buzzer or the door open in the dash lights. After 45 years the tubing probably has shrunk. You can buy rubber couplings for tubing from about any size tubing at an auto parts store. Find one that fits tightly...

    Battery Cutoff switch

    Tom I solved that problem several years back by running a wire from my house battery through the light line that plugs into the motorhome and the toad. I know that puts the toad battery in parallel while you are towing but that hasn’t been a problem. When you unhook and pull the cable the toad...
