If looky loos are OK what time would be best to attend?

NAME?? -

Saturday afternoon will be when the majority of folks are all there.

Since this is a non-rally, there aren't any events planned except coffee & donuts Sat & Sun morning.

Somewhere among us there will be a campfire, where lots of smoke will be blown, probably both Fri & Sat evenings.

If the front door's open, usually there's somebody around, so feel free to knock, introduce yourself and say hello. Lots of folk will gladly give you tours, most all we ask is that you be respectful of others. Bring a camera to capture ideas - with permission, of course.

I'll be in A-104, arriving Friday afternoon. I'll be glad to show you my coach, which was converted on a brand new shell.

The time spent here will not be in vain - you'll take away far more than losing productive time on your conversion.

Speaking of introductions, please take a minute to update your forum profile info to something similar to mine. At least a first name, home-base city/state, plus year, make, model and powertrain of your coach. That will help us help you with parts and service sources, as well as possibly finding a fellow busnut nearby! Simply click on the "Profile" tab above, then, in the LH menu, click on Forum Information and follow the prompts.

See you Saturday??

FWIW & HTH. . .

Thank you for the information. We will definitely be there Saturday and look forward to meeting you and others.

I updated the profile information as specified. I need to take a closer look at the transmission, though it should be an Allison I am not sure exactly. When I get this information I will include it in the power train info.

Once again, I appreciate the info and really do look forward seeing and meeting everyone.

Cheers,
Bjorn

One more thought.

If looky loos are OK what time would be best to attend? We only have the weekends to work on our bus so we try and maximize the daylight with bus work. Of course, we will work around any times that are best. As I have never attended something like this I don't know if timing is really an issue or not.

Thank You

Hi;
Most bus nuts are only too happy to talk about their busses. For you it is an excellant
opportunity to gain ideas and information. The more busses you look at the more
ideas you might use on your own coach.
If you are close, you can stop by any time Fri or Sat. Sun most folks are leaving.
Merle.

I definitely agree that it is a great idea to gain ideas for the next steps in our conversion.

We are going to plan on coming Saturday to hopefully meet as many of you as possible and see what there is to see!

Dave5Cs · February 05, 2016, 08:55:14 AM

We never show off our coach unless you are alone or with someone and only in good or bad weather. Even though our door is closed just ask because we have 3 cats that stay inside.

Also planned is a Karaoke event on Saturday night at Jay and Kathy Benson's Eagle. That should be a fun time!

So far we have 18 signed up with more possibly coming.

Come one, come all, it's going to be a great time!

The Beluga Bus will be there, got a lake view on C loop.

Dave5Cs · February 05, 2016, 06:58:27 PM

Sure it would. Some have come with a curtain and a bucket for a bathroom and not finished yet. It would give some an idea of where to start and see some under structure.

Heck, why do you need a curtain? All you need is a bucket and a poncho. This works well in a minivan or SUV too. Why get too fancy? In fact, you don't even need a vehicle. Just get an old wooden chair, put a 5 gallon bucket under it and bring it to the campfire. All you need then is a long poncho with a TP roll in an inside pocket and learn how to pull your arms out of the sleeves without being too obvious and you can drink all night without having to even leave the campfire. Total cost less than $5.

Hey Clifford. If you show up for the rally, I will give you a free can of Kano Aerokroil - The Creepy Oil. Thanks so much for recommending it. Now I can toss out my Smoke Wrench as I will no longer need it to loosen those old rusted bolts.

Even if you bring your baby bus, we promise we won't laugh at it.
