Preparing for trip to North West and Canada


   New Firestone 400 tires on new steel two hand hole rims on the front of the bus.  Oil change on 8V92 with oil filters, fuel filters and that big air filter. Repaired the air filter air piping from the top  side of the bus to the filter. This had puled apart from being out of alinement from repairs done before we owned the bus. Its back in line now bolted together so it will not pull apart.

   Generator oil change, oil filter,  fuel filter and air filter.

   Installed a Tachometer and made a temporary mounting bracket. Pulled the wire to the alternator in a previous conduit I installed years ago. Next up grade a new dash with all new gauges.


Now brakes on the car tomorrow, car wash and bus wash.

I live in BC so am VERY aware of fuel(and gas prices) Fortunately I live 1/2 hr from the border so I buy fuel and gas often there. Gas Buddy is your friend. One thing is for sure.Gas/diesel is more expensive in B.C. than anywhere else in North America.
