Bird of the Week - Glenn & Lisa Allen

[mbulriss]

Bird of the Week has been updated.

Today's example is what a dedicated owner can do. I normally do not
post extra information on the Bird of the Week pictures, but this one
so impressed me with all the new owner's upgrading in such a short
time period, that I felt compelled to pass along some of the
information they sent in with the pictures.

From Glenn's picture submission: "We've had the bird about 6 months
and are the 3rd owners. I purchased it from an owner in Texas and
drove it home to Georgia. I'm in the process of getting the bus
reconditioned. I have replaced the hot water heater, refrigerator,
front window, holding tank dump valves, battery cables, tag axle
pressure reducing valve, and air dryer. I have replaced the seals in
the drive axle and the steer axle. On the steer axle, I have replaced
the wheel bearings, shoes, and drums. I have purchased 3 new Dometic
Penguin low profile A/Cs and a Magnum MS2812 inverter for my next
projects. Hopefully I will have them installed in a few months. We
love to camp a lot and so I try to schedule my upgrades and
maintenance around our camping schedule."

Wow, what an impressive to-do list in such a short period. Glenn, are
you retired, or when did you have time to camp? Hopefully you will
document some of the upcoming projects and post step-by-step pictures
in the Photos section of the forum. I am personally interested in
knowing more about the A/C project; part numbers, thermostat changes,
wiring changes. Please keep us up-to-date on your projects.

Thanks to Glenn for his Bird of the Week submission!
