Returned from maiden voyage

[Gardner Yeaw]

Well, I made it! I went out to Long Island and met Tom and Shane
with their Bluebirds and John with his Challenger. We all ate a fine
potluck meal together and swapped stories till the fire died down.

I posted couple of pictures of the coaches and owners.

On the way out I began to hear a periodic clicking sound that
seemed to come from under the dash. Then I noticed the volt meter
and tach would deflect when it happened. I realized it must be a
circuit breaker. It would stop a while and then start again. If you
have ever been on a New York expressway, the only shoulder is the
one just above you elbow so pulling over was not an option.

I finally arrived at the campground, disconnected the batteries
and opened up the front. I reconnected the batteries and found it
wasn't coming from under the dash, it was in the overhead (rock and
roll ears, can't locate a thing). I disconnected the offending
circuit and enjoyed the evening.

It turned out that the hot wire going into the switch on one of
the bedroom reading lights had popped out of the switch and was
shorting against the housing.

What I would like to do in the future is put indicator lights
across each terminal pair on each breaker. If a breaker trips the
light will light. It would make roadside troubleshooting a breeze.
