It's just north of Flint Mi. at M-54 and Wilson Rd in Clio Mi. So far we have 22 coaches coming.

The roundtable discussion will be on bus electrical SYSTEMS (everything working together).   1 or 2 o'clock Friday afternoon.

Glenn, we will discuss Vanner equalizers.

Hi All,

Anyone heading west after the rally?  I have graciously been offered a toasted 50DN alternator I need to repair a part on mine by one of the members of the board who might be at the rally.  See my plea for help here:

http://www.busconversions.com/bbs/index.php?topic=24108.0 (http://www.busconversions.com/bbs/index.php?topic=24108.0)

Can anyone help?  And as BusWarrior says, I could possibly help with fuel if that would make a difference for someone.

Thank you!

Since we're currently roaming around Michigan (just came from the EAA Airventure show in Oshkosh and now in Sault St. Marie, soon to be heading south into western Michigan) - this sounds like a great event to join up for.   So, just called Ed and registered.  Looking forward to meeting everyone!

We'll be happy to add to the discussion of electrical systems everything we know about Lithium Ion batteries (which we installed almost a year ago on our bus).

Cherie and Chris, sorry we missed you! We are parked in Milwaukee at the moment! Would have loved to have met you guys. We are headed to Michigan on Sunday but won't make it to the rally. We will be thinking of you guys though.
