1987 345 w\454

These last few posts illustrate the problem with taking photos of this area in the moho - its almost impossible!!

On the 350, the bathroom door is in two pieces, and when opened extends across the hallway at the entrance to the rear bedroom. The door is held in this position by velcro straps. An accordian door at the other end of the hallway, next to the galley, closes the front of the hallway, and makes a private, enlarged bathroom/dressing room.

I hear ya about hard to take pictures. I had to stand in the shower and still didn't get the whole thing... haha

So we have arrived in Denver. Had to stop and get a massive power steering leak repaired. Ugh. So the neat part of this trip so far is we are staying in an RV park that only allows 1990 and newer rvs in the park. We sent them a picture of the 345 and we were allowed in. Gotta love Airstreams!

Made it to Denver and back. The 12v system acted wonky during the trip, the water heater stopped working, had to get the power steering repaired (luckily just a hose.), and then when we were pulling it into the cave I noticed a ton of smoke coming from the driver side dual. Brakes were smoking. Ugh. Gonna have it looked at tomorrow and see what's up. But we made it home safe and in one piece! Love that thing!

Trip completed and safely back to the batcave, new list in hand, well done Batman, I mean Kreimer.
They really are fun touring machines!

I do not appreciate all the negatives thrown at this buyer
But if it had been they where talking about I think I would leave this site!!!

[Kreimer]

Huh?

[Hittenstiehl]

Kreimer I'm glad you said that as that's what I was wondering.

I have been following your excitement and it seemed you got lots of support and well meaning cautions and encouragement.

Maybe they posted to wrong thread inadvertently.

Continue to enjoy your find.

Unless there is a joke there that's waaaaayyyyyy over my head

[Kreimer]

I'm gonna take it as wrong thread post or google translate fail! I haven't felt victimized at all! Quite the opposite actually!!!!!

Honesty, with a dash of comedy, is always the best advice with these coaches. We're all jokers for buying them in the first place.

My dash is quite comedic thank you.........somebody sprayed it with pick up truck bed liner material?(insert face plant smilie here).

Jokers are the ones asking $125,000+++ for the coach they just bought for $40,000; just beacause some other joker tried to sell another coach for $125,000+++. The rest of us are just "nuts" for hanging onto these rigs that we can't get parts for and are a total bloody pain to work on.

Talk about bathroom size; I'm 6'3" 250lbs and swears the hole at Colditz had more space than my 310; I had to use a marine toilet paper holder mounted in my vanity door, as there was no bloody possibility of me opening up the vanity door to get paper with me already on the loo.

So 345 is in the shop for more repairs. This one may be some $$$. [emoji855] getting shocks all around and having all the brakes checked, getting exhaust repaired, and lower radiator hose replaced.

On the fun side I no longer have a use for my demco kar kaddy SS tow dolly! We now have to get a tow bar figured out. Here is the new toy!

[OttawaValleyGuy]

Good luck with your project
I love mine and it is pretty much original other than the new flooring


Enjoy the journey

While in Denver we were plugged into shore power. We came back to Moho in the evening and the 12v was acting like there was no power and the 110 worked fine. I flipped the on/off switch on the inverter off and flipped breaker at the pole. I turned them both back on and the 12v acted like nothing was wrong.

For reference it has a heart interface freedom 10 charger/inverter, solar on the roof routed through separate solar controller. The controller was reading batteries dead and fully charged. Weird.

I am thinking the inverter is dying. A new one looks easy enough to install but I have no idea what to look for or which one to get as the one installed is discontinued...

Last detail, some of the chemical from the fire extinguisher may have gotten in the inverter when the Moho was vandalized. I have heard that chemical is bad for electronics...

New exhaust,shocks, radiator hose, and jeep. Ready to go!!!

Here is a pic of my dear old girl 1986 345

[Kreimer]

Looks great! Love the stripe!

Now that I have her back I can finish some projects I have been collecting parts for! Easy, simple, interior things! Tonight I installed the tv on a hanger from the upper cabinet and put the game and DVD player in the upper cabinet.
I do wish the bracket were not so bulky but it'll do for now. I am happy to have use of the table again. Next is replacing the ceiling lights down the center of the coach. A new mattress should be here tomorrow. I decided to just stay with the short queen. Later on I will hinge the bed to get access to the wasted space under the bed.
