I hope everyone knows that my good friend Gene Lewis passed away .
I always enjoyed his rally in the big town of Wade NC.
His eagle was a work of art. It was ust for Gene like most of us.
We make them special just to suit ourselves.

Yes, I just heard this too. He will be missed. He wrote a lot of great articles for BCM and helped a lot of people with his knowledge of converting buses.
Didn't know him but I'll pray for you and his family.
Great article Gary about the SCENICRUISER. I knew some of the interesting feature that those had but never in that much detail. I smiled when I read about the waste water from the toilet was piped thru the exhaust pipe.

Hummm. I proofread the article but missed that content somhow, or forgot as it has been a while since then. Will read it again now. The GMC Motorhomes had the same setup. They piped the black/grey into the exhaust manifold and burned it up going down the road as I remember. However they ran into problems with it plugging up from what I understand and many were no longer used after a while. I am not sure towards the end of their production run, that they still were using it. This seems like a great system as long as you were not following on a motorcycle. ;D It would be interesting to hear from someone on here that used one of those units.

I didn't know that either but I remember that the GMC's were set up to do the same thing. No need to visit a dump station. However, they had a lot of problems with them plugging up after a few years of use. The good thing is that they seldom had tailgater problems. ;D
