All:
Glad to be aboard. I think this will be a more friendly and
helpful forum for the future. Sure like Ernies initiative even with
his limited time.

I just purchased my first BB - an 84 PT40 and am just going through
the coach now. I've been reading this forum for several weeks now in
anticipation getting my coach. I bought it near St. Joseph, MO and
drove it to SoCal last night. My wife and I full time and have been
living in a Beaver Marquis until now.
I'm sure I'll have a ton of questions as I go through and learn
things. Also, I know I'll have to trouble shoot a few things and
will probably need some advice. Here's a few things I'm trying to
resolve now:
- Lights in the living room (the ones hidden behind the cabinets)
won't come on - none of them. The rest of the lights work throuhout
the coach.
- Un-winterizing the water system (opening valves, filling water
heater, etc).
- Front step droops forward.
- Original microwave/convection oven was removed and replaced with
a regular microwave. So, I need to find a source for a new
convection/microwave that fits in the stainless surround in the
kitchen.
Thanks for having this group forum. I've seem many questions
answered here and I've started filing some of them away for future
reference.

Welcome Jerry,
You aren't much newer than I am and this is a great place to find out about your
bird. If I
could ask you a favor, please send some of your global warming out to Michigan.
We did
have a heat wave today though it got into the 20's. At least my Aqua-Hot works.

I'd be happy to send you some sunshine but it decided to rain today.
My wife told me it was 82 yesterday. I drove the coach from St. Joe
and it was freezing there. In fact, it took forever (hours) for the
chassis heat to warm up when I hit the road. And, it drove like a
dream and completely without any problems.
Hope to learn new stuff here and, eventually, contribute in the future.

That's odd. I've started my coach in weather near zero degrees and had
heat fairly rapidly. I didn't time it but by the time I pulled up the
leveling jacks, aired the suspension up, walked around the coach for a
quick visual inspection and put my wooden jack platforms away, I had
heat throughout the coach. So, maybe 15 minutes?
You may want to look into this more. Perhaps a valve is partially
closed, or something... I'd think you should have chassis heat
quickly.
