Generator related questions

[John B. Montgomery, AIA]

My unit is a 1982 PT40 with the Genset in the front where your engine is. A
good number of my filters are NAPA brand and procured in Trinity, Texas. My
major mechanic's parents had a BlueBird and he evidently knew what part numbers
would work with my unit. However, the hoses for the Perkins I bought myself and
I took them off and let the parts man match the hoses. My hoses were a "B" to
remove and almost as difficult to replace but it did and I have been glad I went
to the trouble to change them out. If I remember correctly, I had to have the
radiator repaired about that time as well.

By-the-way. my unit has a household type 50amp breaker panel up under the floor
as well as breakers on the Genset. Then there are breakers in other places as
well. Being an owner of a Motorhome (BlueBird) is more than a Great adventure,
it's an education. Welcome to the group.

It's an 82 FC. I'll check with NAPA. However, when I purchased the
oil and fuel filters from NAPA based on the part numbers in the
Bluebox, they were incorrect, so I was hoping to find a Kohler/Perkins
expert.

caught my attention. Check with your auto parts supplier/Store for
the hoses. I replaced mine in the last year or so and it is a 1982
Perkins. What model is your coach?
