Re: Van & Cheryl's 89 model 15

If I might add a bit of advice fwiw On your awning arms go to napa and by a couple of clamps and a peice of rubber hose and clamp those arms in place when your underway .

Re: Van & Cheryl's 89 model 15
Thanks Andy, I know exactly what you mean, and have a close eye on it, so far it is pretty stable @ 65-70 mph and have put strips of velcro wrapped around them, thanks
Julio, I have noticed an increase of power on the flats, on the grades here pretty much the norm for the 6v92 40-45 mph , also have close to 2000mi so far,so good, with the temperatures staying in the 180's which is great. good oil pressure, turbo boost seems to be a bit off I guess, coming in around 10 pounds. Now if only I can land that 100 K job I have been searching for so I can square off my debts, and maybe look into a total rebuild of the engine, oh well maybe tomorrow... but some day , thanks all!

Re: Van & Cheryl's 89 model 15
Art, you are probably right about that , I am still in shock that we actually own an Eagle, and that this dream has become a reality. I think it is only fair to mention, with out the help of some of the club members, we would have been up doo doo creek with out a paddle by now members such as Dave St John(Dave I haven't forgot ya buddy ) for providing the 692 we have now,which without it, the bus would just be another tin shed in Clifford yard, Clifford, who unselfishly provided a space in which to store the beast as well as the crash coarse on every thing Eagle, which made it possible to patch its broken wings and fly once more . the list goes on, and on and I don't wish to embarrass folk, as most are modest , but you guys are the best! all the best! Well time for another bite of the elephants rump LOL, now back to work!

Re: Van & Cheryl's 89 model 15
Thanks Eric, yea the fabric could use a color change for sure,maybe something in a Crimson red . I am very fortunate to have an awning though. We look forward to the day we can mosey on over to the right coast and enjoy our selves, won't be long now
