Title: On the road again
Post by: edvanland on July 01, 2014, 09:43:23 AM
We will be leaving Cornville, AZ today July 1, 2014 heading to Los Vegas & Fallon, NV to spend time with a friend and to enjoy the 4th, then on up to Portland, OR for my daughter's 52 nd birthday and to see my Grand daughter, the to Everett WA then we will meander down the west coast by HWY 1 or 101 or wherever being aware of some of the restrictions on length as with the bus and trailer we are about 65 feet long. We are towing our trailer with the trike and jeep in it.  We are going prepared to go site seeing either way, preferable  on the  trike.
Looking forward to a month on the road.  Just a little concerned about the heat but with misters, fans on the extra radiator, a transmission cooler which is on a separate cooling system with a fan, I will just watch the temp and take it easy as we are in no hurry.

Ed -  Have a great trip!  We are headed to Montana next week.  If we had more time we would wait around for you up here in Vancouver, WA.  I think we loosened everyone up for you.  They all should be good to go.  Stop by and see Gary, Van and the guys at BnB.  They are a hoot.  And I always learn a thing or 4 while I am there.  Wish you and Janet the best.  Drive Fast and Take Chances ;)

   Hi Ed;

        I too have a MC-7  - - - -  Can you tell us about the "extra radiator"?  How is it
        hooked up in the cooling system.  Can it be isolated for winter use?
                                      Thanks,  Merle.
