Then I guess the best solution would be to mix the 2 waters together :-\  Wait I'm thinking if we mix the different oils together, we wouldn't have to worry about whether to run it a gallon low or at full ::)

I need to know how to rejuvinate the two frozen batteries that came out of my 4104.  One is up to 5 volts, the other is up to 7 volts.  The automatic chargers are throwing fits trying to charge these batteries.  Keep giving error messages.  Have had the one all the way up to 10.5 volts, but it keeps dropping down.  Hows that for a thread hijack

Hey Thor, if your really quiet about it I hear there will be lots of good new batteries in Arcadia, and if you get them drunk enough, you will be able to exchange(steal) your bad batteries with their good ones and no one will know it was you  :-X

So if I hook your new router to my old batteries, do I get full charge, or just smoothly radiused edges?

Well it seems that RJ has bought a MCI so isn't looking for a GM anymore, although so far we haven't heard an official notice from him. :)  I have also heard that a well known busnut has also bought a MCI but also hasn't said anything about it yet.  ;D

My goodness, I do not know how this got so far off topic. I was not targeting anyone in particular. I have noticed that there are a lot of folks interested in busses to live in as opposed to use an rv. I advertised mine for sale a while back and most of those that showed an interest were looking for a cheap place to live. To me bussing is all about having a very cool vehicle that cannot be duplicated and can be used for traveling etc. When I started reading this forum 15 years ago it was all about creating something unique from a bus sculpted from aluminum and steel that you were proud of and is a lot better than the stick and staple rvs that most folks had. I am interested in selling mine because I want to move up to a little fancier bus. My 5303 has been great and I would not trade the memories attached to it for the world and I hope to find a new owner that will value it for it's beauty not just wanting something that will be able to make it to a final resting place so they can live in it with their 3 kids that they cannot afford to house some other way.
My rant, sorry.

A bus is  a cool place to live and it has wheels so you can escape the hurricane or the tornado if it will go fast enough. If you have enough diesel or electric hook up you can keep warm in cold weather.  AC on the beach in Mexico.  If you have a house you can park it beside the house and make your neighbors crazy.  You can park it in front of your neighbor's driveway so if he hates you he has to talk to you to ask you to move it. You can paint it with a roller or a brush even spray paint and let the overspray drift.  If you have a DD you can leave big oil spots (dd's are like dogs they mark their turf ).  When the wife or girlfriend gets REAL mad you always have a place to go. Bank account??? What bank account -- you have no bank account you have a bus.

Charles, you would be surprised how many people are living in a bus, 5th wheel, trailer, or rv fulltime and travel. We spend the winters where it is warm but travel in the summers. Did 10,000 miles in the last 12 months and would have done a couple thousand more if we hadn't been broke down in Billings for two months.   :)

Hey, Ed,

What happened to your bus that you had to stay that long in Billings?

Good grief, Ed. You sure get around.  Grin     Sometimes John, sometimes.  In the near future somebody else may be posting some before and after pictures of a little project they are doing.....stay tuned.   ;)
