Winter storage

[John McGinnis]

There is the master cutoff under the dash and the electronic cutoff
in the overhead compartment. I usually keep the master cutoff in the
off position and not deal with the electronic cutoff. I currently
run the bus for an hour or so weekly or take it on a 20 - 30 mile
run. Todate we have been lucky no dead batteries (knock on wood) but
I know when the temp drops it will be harder to start. John McGinnis-8835FC

it off and every week or so start the genset for a while to charge,
then turn the master off. If you used the coach in winter, the engine
temps will be lower. I like winter in our coach down South.
