MCI 102c3 Bay Measurements

[Jcparmley]

This sounds silly but does anybody have the interior measurements of the bay on a 102c3?  My bus is currently in winter storage and not accessible and I am trying for figure out my tank sizes.  If someone can measure I would be very appreciative.  Thanks

Thanks Jim

Is the 102c3 the same size as the 102a3?

Don't know. The DL has bigger bays, at least the rear bay is significantly larger but I think the doors may be the same. I can check tomorrow but I don't think that really helps you, other than maybe to suggest a trend.

For something like water/waste tanks, I'd think that relying on any information from another bus or a spec chart might lead to problems, other than for getting a general idea. Seems like there are so many variables in the individual builds on buses that a hands-on verification would be the best route to go. More often than not when discussing things like this, someone will offer measurements on something only to have someone else mention that theirs are totally different, or that they have such-and-such widget factory installed right in the middle of a bay which is wide open on another bus.

Yeah, also there's the issue of the HVAC ducts. On mine that cuts the vertical clearance to 30" and it's pretty wide.

On my MC 96A3 in the rearmost bay there is a bulbous bulge where the wall and the floor meet in the center. It is there to accommodate the automatic transmission on the other side of the wall.
      I made the mistake of ordering rectangular water tanks that did not fit correctly because of that bulge. Your bus may be different but pay attention to the actual dimensions and don't rely on someone else's spec sheet.
      Good luck!
