You bet your bippie…I didn’t even have a working speedometer before. I had to pace myself with the other traffic. When I would see a hill approaching, I would floor it. By the time I topped the hill, everyone I had passed was ¼ to ½ mile ahead of me!!!

I’m thinking "this too shall pass!!!

Sounds like it's skipping. Did Sonnie put new plugs in it? ;)

That looks and sounds great! And I see lots of flat surface up there for some sort of Eagle decorations too!

Thankya...Thankya very much Andy.

Dale, I think we might have over filled it with Canola :lol: !!! As for as Eagle decor, I'll have to find an "enginterior decorator." I think Sonnie and I are going to open a new company called S.E.R.F. (Silver Eagle Remanufacturing Facility). Our motto can be "You Buy 'Em...We'll Revive 'Em :lol:.

Looks like you are almost ready to roll!!! I like the panograph door. I could not belive how much scenery I was missing. I was always looking ahead to the next hill to plan, can I pass, can I cet back in, will I need to fly down this one to drag up the next!!LOL. Now all you will have to do is hit the turn siginal, and pass like a car!!!.P.S. What is the black tank on the right?

Yep Eric, been there before...after you roll off a hill passing everything in your midst, they give you a dirty look :roll: for smoking them out as they pass you back. I think those days are over for me too my friend :lol: !!!

The black tank on the right is an air reservoir. I dont know what all it control however, I know it fills with air each time the coach was started. Mr. Sonnie may can answer that question for the both of us.

I noticed a silverleaf displayed on your dash. How do you like it? Are they easy to operate? Pros? cons? Please!!!

Sonnie has worked on my tail lights as well. I know I've been adding here and changing there. I guess i'm like a lady in a home decor store :lol:. He's got lights back into the swing of things. I can see them clearly now that the smoke is gone.
