Jim, Ralph, Bim and myself did a PDI on an SP for a client. We drove that
coach and it performed very well. ernie in montana-without my pt40

I am looking at upgrading from my 1983 FC RB to a 1991 SP36. I was
wondering what the board members opinion was regarding the SP, and was
curious as to how it performed uphill. It has a 3208 300 HP with a
four speed ZF tranny and the coach weighs 36000 pounds.

One correction, it is a 5 speed ZF. I have no experience with them,
but if the price is right it would be a nice upgrade in my opinion.

Hi Jim
I have a 1991 SP36. It has a 5 speed ZF Transmission,
not 4. You want to find out if the prom in the zf
module has been re-programed which means that the
shift points were reset to a higher RPM. That will do
wonders for the uphill battle. I've had it now for 10
years, and still learning systems on it. I have worked
and documented everything i ever did to my bird and I
have made up a complete Handbook of for it with every
system described and illustrated. And my book is still
expanding all the time. My opinion of this bird is ITS
A HECK OF A FINE MACHINE. But you must be willing to
do some work on it for up-keep/ maintenance. If you
want to know anything more about this bird, just drop
me a note at juesteinm@...

I have had a 89SP for 8 years and 90,000 miles but not trouble free.
Things will need to be repaired on an ongoing basis and you need to be
prepared to deal with them.

They are compact , quiet with the engine in the rear, cruise
effortlessly at 75 and are a beautiful ride.

Am about to embark on a 2,000 mile trip and cannot wait to get on the
road.

I would do it again.
