Fired up the generator for the second time since the overhaul...all is well...loaded both AC's, then heat pumps....all electrical systems are a go ! Water system is a go ! Last AC hose made today, will pull a vacuum tomorrow, will swap satellite system Sunday from the 325LE, installed the new door post so now the door locks normally and not only with the deadbolt. Bedroom walls will be re-installed as well as the medicine cabinet in the bathroom. Front brake hoses coming off tomorrow morning, I believe I have found the correct ones. I now that I have experience with the river shaver, will get the replacement panels on the exterior. Road test hopefully early June, Regards, Bob

Replaced the "last hose" low side, compressor to evaperator. Pulled a 29.7" vacuum at 6:30 AM and was still holding when I left for work at 9:30AM, took 2 hours to remove the left front brake hose...will match it up at Napa tonight. The 370LE in Texas is a possibility ....the 325LE is for sale in June....I'de like to have 2 370LE's side by side....man the one in Texas is really nice.....somebody shoot me , please.....Regards, Bob

You know Bob, the second 370 will be easy now that you almost have one under your belt.What are you going to do once you finish this one? Besides if you get two you will be the only one on the forum that does. They will probably have to create a Double Barrel Rivet Master class for you. You really need something to fill the parking space when the 325 goes. Just say'in.

I wonder if the company Brad used for his Argosy could match the original. Just a thought.
I guess you'd have to mock up a template.

Well, the front wheels are back on ! I hopefully will get it out of the shop next weekend to wash it. Still waiting on the shower seat assm., at least we have a mold now so I can make additional shower seat assemblies if any one ever needs one. It took us 1 1/2 hours to get the mold off the new seat assm. I also replaced the last leaky heater hose....in the worst location....under the thermostat housing. Regards, Bob

Finished up the R-12 dashboard AC last night, the system took about 2.75 lbs. before the bubbles were gone in the sight glass of the receiver/dryer, my low side is about 30 PSI and the high side is residing around 200 PSI, great to feel cold air coming out of the dash vents on a 90 degree day. I know it has not worked since 2006, cause that's when they changed the engine and threw everything out. The roof 15,000 BTU dometic units are working extremely well both off shore power and generator. The rear AC drain inside the wall is either kinked or plugged so I will have to run another drain in the wall cavity between the bathroom and the bedroom or leave a joint compound bucket in the hallway to catch the water. Finished the install of the second shelf in the overhead VCR cabinet to hold both the direct tv receiver and the satellite receiver. Regards, Bob
