I've got his cell number, he's gonna call in the morning if he doesn't get it going and I promised him we'd round up a few nuts to come up there if need be. I hope I'm right :-/

I can't even express how please it is to see the human beings are willing to help others human beings they don't even know. I've never given up faith in hunanity or humans.  you guys are top notch human beings! I sent Scott an email in  reply from his email stating we got the batterys so I think we're going to be ok but if we do have any issues I will call him or post to the forum with request for help. God bless and good night I'm tired from traveling from NH and little sleep. Louis

Ace

Ok I lied. He accidentally voice texted me and it autocorrect it to "bam bam thank you ma'am" which I interpreted as "we are up and running" haha. He will be at the bus soon and tell us how it goes

she's purring like a kitten right now :-) I replaced one of the starter house batteries voltage was 24 6 before cranking the bus. After cranking she was charging like crazy up in the 28 amps. But now the tell tale not jen light is on on the dash and she is not charging with the bus running but staying steady at 24 6. Tried giving scott a call and text him probably out for breakfast if anybody else sees this and can call me would be most appreciated my number is 603 566 2395, thanks in advance!

Lou, is the tell tale light on only when idling or when in gear driving also? If on when idling only, that's normal,  lvmci...

wow, wow, wow!finally got here to the rally with very little breaks and by breaks I mean little  stopping power. but the camaraderie and welcome by so many people upon my arrival is nearly overwhelming :-)I met  Scott Bennett, Ace, Manny, and many others I can't even remember right now lol!thanks again Scott and Ace for the coaxing and the willingness to come help me out if I needed . I'm looking forward to spending more time with everyone over the next few days. So until then goodnight, God bless and I'll see you folks in the morning.

If you tell tale comes on while driving, your batteries are fully charged. If the light bothers you just turn on your headlights and the telltale should go out as it starts charging again. Most of the time i run with my lights on.......amazing how many people don't seem to see a big bus on the road!

Have somebody show you how to adjust your brakes.....

Can someone do me a favor?  Can you go by Elvis's 4104 and ask him for dimensions on his fuel "gauge"?  I should have taken a picture when I was there. 

Thanks and it was great meeting all of you there, hope to be back next year, with the bus and for more days.
