I was unable to do much to the bus the last couple of weekends because of vacation.....
but this weekend I hit it hard and it's now back on all four wheels.

It needs some double checks and adjustments before I bless it completely.....
but I rocked it down the road today at an easy 65mph (even in the wind).

Hope you see it soon at a camp out near you........

Big, big thanks. :D

He's home safe a sound. Running and moving like a champ. Kirk did a great job.

Thank you so much Pam and Bill for helping me with getting him home. Looks like I will have a bus for Oktoberfest. :D

It's been a little while since I have given an update on Gunther, mainly because I haven't done anything with him.

I was having electrical issues at the rear end so I did some trouble shooting last fall after KI. I figured out that it was the turn signal switch, so I had to replace it. Sean was nice enough to give me one from his stash but it ended up not working. One of the connectors was bad and a solder connection was broken. So, I bought an aftermarket one.

I took advantage of the warm weather today and went out the garage to replace the switch. I replaced the switch but kept the original housing. The wires on the new switch were different colors than the original, but I managed to figure out which wires went where and got it all hooked up. I am happy to say that his rear end is now lighting up and flashing as it was intended to.
