My first bus..

[travelingfools]

Well, thanks to the help of a bunch of folks from this board, NJT 5403 is finally sitting in my driveway. Its an '87 MC9 and was purchased through John Spelling at busforsale.com in Tennessee. Good honest folks to deal with. It got here around midnight last night and I just got back from toronto from dropping the driver off. Already compiling a list of questions..lol

Pictures, you need pictures John?? LOL
Congratulations again on your bus and it's arrival, it's like you just had a daughter born to us.  Keep in contact with me about our other situation and good luck and ask all the questions you possible can muster.

I can't help you much being an Eagle owner and it's still on blocks but I sure as the dickens will support anything you decide to do.

Good Luck again,
Gary

That's hilarious! I can't even imagine what I would have done. Mine has one too, but I rigged it so that I can turn it on or off. Off for homecamp & RV Parks, on when you go to the shop, Wallyworld, etc.

Nice bus and those ribs look pretty darn good too!

So. . . have YOU driven it yet??

Before you do, here are a couple of articles well worth reading:

The first one should be done every day that you drive the bus, the first time you drive it.

The second one is something you should practice every time you're out driving the coach, until you get proficient at it.   (I know you've got an automatic - pay attention to the latter portion of the article for automatic info.)

If you have ANY questions about either of these two articles, drop me a PM - I'm the guy who wrote them.

Welcome to the madness!!

FWIW & HTH. . .
