Found gear box leaking , We removed it, repaired bad seal and reinstalled.

Axle was rubbing when operating. we repaired by cutting a larger opening

Setting generator up for hook up.
It's better to have an outside hard wire connection VS a inside internal connection.
If you ever have to remove the Genset you can disconnect the wiring from within the outside junction box, not from inside the unit .

This is the box that requires three things to be met before you can start the engine .

Guess what we found today !!!..

This morning,
We were vacuuming water that had run beneath the tarp hanging over the upholstery rack and look what we found laying up against the pallet rack ..

The reason it was taken off was the bolts to the lower hinge were rusted almost off. and they were afraid it would sag and bend the hinge . so they took it off.. the bolts were in a bag attached to it ..

We slid it beneath the bus ..It should be OK there until we are ready to hang it .

Today they made and installed the filler strips between the luggage bays and around the battery door

The only way we can move the toilet would be if we remove the vanity and install the toilet there .
But I didn't think you would want to do that either..

Swapping the shower location for the toilet location!?

Below are images of the holding tanks and around the coach regarding swapping the shower location with the toilet.
We still feel it may not work the way you think it will .
The shower will be over the rear axle and we will have to relocate the inverter.

In a bus the walls are bowed out and the floor slants down hill towards the front.
This is a round shower that has to be mounted in an extremely square & Plumb
environment or the door will not work freely.
