Yes, anytime Bill. Comes with ear muffs too (actually not too bad).
It has the Allison 4 speed auto behind it & straight exhausts all the way out the rear bumper.

Guess what? Got in Sunday night after T'gvg all working well ... now
the dash, parking, nor clearance lights will work. Seems to be a section of the headlight switch gone bad. Call Earl at BB or is there another source?? 1991. Steve Enfinger Newton, GA '91 WBSA |

Steve,
I had my lights go out on the road on night. I removed the light switch and very gently bent the contacts out to get a better connection, seems after 13 years they get a little straightend out. They have worked great for two years now. Hope this helps. Kurt Horvath 95 PT 42 10AC --- In WanderlodgeForum@yahoogroups.com, "Steve & Kathy Enfinger" > > Guess what?

If yours is like mine I just went through that. Mine wasn't working & I put a new switch in. It worked a few times then it quit again I found that moving wires in the front of the dash it would come on. I finally figured it was a wire in one of my cannon plugs. It seem to be working good now. Don Spithaler 89 SP 36' Butler, PA On Wed, Dec 3, 2008 at 9:28 PM, Kurt Horvath <"kguns@hughes.net"> wrote:

The headlight switches are a weak spot (mine is 'out' for now, too).
My temporary workaround was to wire in a switch that supplies power to the appropriate relays that turn on the clearance, dash, and parking lights. You can order a new switch from BB or from one of the BB school bus distributors. There may be another source as the switch is from a third party, but I haven't identified it.
