Awake: 5:55am Temp 67 sleep 6+58 inside service bay # 7 Miami, Ok.
"It started right up!" John said of the generator; then he loaded it down, running (4) air conditioners, the electric Aqua hot system & anything else he could use. He ran it for about (25) min with close to a max load, which satisfied the test for now. He does advise us however, to run it longer under load when we are outside in the Newell campground. The old 15kw generator section will be sent back to the original maker for some kind of a refund.
Mattress builder David, gave our Murphy bed a new look with a different mattress cover & some extra length & Bubbles took some of the living room apart so he could get to the slide bearing covers. My only request to Bubbles was to move our living room TV to the left about ½ inch which would allow space on the right side to make adjustments on the TV without using the remote. My timing was good & my request honored.
Early afternoon, I bumped into Sydney, the fellow who is having a new 2010 Newell built. He invited me on a personal tour of how this new coach will differ from the one he currently has. Syd has a few talents; now a retired lawyer, he dabbles in electronics, metal lathing & welding. I was given a good tour @ no charge. Some of his ideas of change were great.
As the day continued, multitalented John, same guy who did a lot of the 20KW generator work, welded plates to our undercarriage that will be welded to the rear drive axle as a sway bar.
There have been complaints that these heavy buses do lean a lot on curves & crosswinds; this sway bar has been tested & labeled as "being on the level."
Dinner: Cod fish with tropical fresh fruit relish, brown rice pilaf, broccoli, & a mixed salad.
No movie tonight; being inside a metal building, our recorded movies won't work.
We both do some crossword puzzles before lights out.
Lights out: 11:06pm
