Looking Goood Buddy , Been wondering where the heck you been, Now I see you have been busy. 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 . I had that kind of awning and thought that the clamps that came with it would do the job .However going thru wyo once I had a ulgy suprize anyway just a thought LOOKS GREAT ( eating a Elaphant one bite at a time lol

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!

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!
