Electricans---wiring--computers

[Bob & Carol Howald`]

All this reminds me of a time when I had to make a unplanned
landing
due to smoke in the galley of a MD-80. When we got to the gate we
were
met by the technicans both wearing nice clean cover-all's. They had
pencils and pen's in there shirt pockets along with meter's etc etc.
They climbed all over the a/c and finally ended up in the belly's
electrical compartment. They looked at the wiring bundle's pulled
their
meter's out took reading looked at the wiring terminal's again and
again and finally the lead stood up and said " IT'S IN THE
WIRING"..NO
#@*!.GO FIGURE! I believe it's like that with the bus tech's
sometimes.expecially with the computer's.
I don't believe anyone buy's a coach with the anticipation of
working
on it forever or making it a major work project unless their
restoring
one. If that were the case, I don't believe any coach manufacturers
would be in business. Most people buy them to enjoy and that's the
bottom line. If your lucky or unlucky enough to be able to do your
own
work and maintence that a big plus. Oil changes,lube etc is about the
extent of most people's expertise and also of their desire to do.
An important part of all this is to be able to explain or impart to
the service people exactly what the syntoms are.
I believe that BlueBird make's a very good machine, and with normal
upkeep and maintence will last forever. I kind of like it like
advertised keep it as origional as possible and don't let thing slip
or
slide for too long. If I were a wanna-be reading some of these post I
would be wondering what's up with the maintence and reliablity of
Bluebird. Sure some problem's come up from time to time but most are
fairly mild in nature and no worse than any of the other coach's out
there. So. Buy a motorhome enjoy it don't worry about becoming a
master technian just to be an owner.

ps...the smoke was from a overheated oven circut. (back in the
