BGM, I enjoy watching how far you have come with your bus career and your property. You sure have amassed some cool equipment! I love seeing them work. Great job!
The steering wheel both tilts and telescopes and the drivers seat can be infinitely adjusted including up and down. The point being that you can find a combination that allows viewing the gauge. The problem with a Wanderlodge is the NUMBER of gauges! Love your content and the amazing journey you’ve taken from the traveling repairs to building a great shop and homestead.
@sidgysoho1960 unless the wire harness is such that it dose not allow to relocate? Other solution would be a second set of gauges ontop the excisting panel, hooked parakel to the main cluster?
20:58 - Is there any chance at all that the critical guages can be moved from top to bottom and vice versa? I see someone else commented that a combo of seat height and wheel position could be tried. Failing those, I would put an aftermarket guage/ guages in a visible spot, and appearance be damned. Edit : this way one could choose the style of guage they liked (even digital) and perhaps the aftermarket guage could be a combo of needle and idiot light. Edit#2 ha two seconds later you suggested a swap😂. I still like the idea of aftermarket.
Scott is the kind of mechanic that would appreciate the engineering of the chassis and power train on Newell coaches along with their use of multiple control systems with manual overrides.
@BusGreaseMonkey Thanks! Years ago, BB and Newell had a friendly rivalry goin on. At national rallies, BB would provide coffee and donuts in the mornings (via the Coffee Wagon). Newell would "publish" a daily newsleter.
Low idle is bad. But it's not because of oil pressure. It's because of low exhaust gas temperature inside the cylinder. When the pistons and rings are not hot enough you get what is called piston wash. The rings get cold and don't seal properly, therefore allowing fuel to wash all the oil off the cylinder walls creating excessive wear. This unburnt fuel then gets past the rings and into the oil. This is called oil dilution and that creates excessive wear on the rest of the engine.
"Festina lente" means, "make haste slowly", in case anyone's wondering.
Thanks, . . . I was wondering ! Kinda like " Hurry up and Wait " !
Thank you
It actually means "slow party"
Your videos are not just content, they are real intellectual food. Thank you for your creativity and efforts!🐘🥰🖤

In our firehouse we have yellow painted lines on the floor to guide you coming inside. It makes pulling inside the house much easier.
It actually won’t. We are rarely pulling them in straight.
Your assistant, forgot his name, is so good and knowledgeable and such a good guy. Give us a little background on him. Thanks
That is really interesting!
And no wonder one of the blades of the ceiling fans is missing.
Scott great videos
Your help is matchless to none
Classy operation !!
Have a MASTER WARNING light
Thank you Scott, I love ❤ the video! Great information for setting idle speed!!
Could the issue with not seeing the temp gauge could be solved by butting a little pit smaller diameter steering wheel. Maybe?
How about just relocate the gage depending on the type it is ?

Talk about gangster lean.
keep the clips coming
Could you send a link of where you ordered the air switches? All I can find is plastic ones
Actually, BlueBird isn't out of business. They simply shut down their RV division.
Always an interesting video.
I wouldn't want to have to climb Mt. Washington, located in New Hampshire, with this bus!
Yah. Wanderlodge didn't put enough thought into the layout of the dash.
I want a Wanderlodge so bad 💯
I have a 1983 bluebird Wanderlodge for sale only 118 thousand miles on the Detroit for 11,000💰 washer dryer convection, oven walk-in shower

Good information
That bus looks like my dad's old one.
It is disturbing that someone had the though to install fans on a ceiling that low.
its time to run Lenny down the road 20 mile // keep that 671 running good
Do you ever see any Newell Coaches?
They were the direct competitor of B B.

Put a on smaller steering wheel so you can see the gages. :)
Fabricating a water temp gauge on top of the dash might be a good idea.
Or a warning buzzer or beeper.
hello I use hydraulic off set// or crows feet range ,try them .
👍👍👍👍

Where is your son? I've not seen him for ages.
One of those fans looks like it already hit someone in the head and broke one blade off!
I just heard you called him Johnathan
Yes, it turned out that "son in law" was a title, not a name. 😉
I was told to avoid using low idle on my series 60 as its very bad for the engine and it keeps the oil pressure too low. My high idle is 1200.
1,000 is the typical programmed fast idle for most series 60s. It sounds the best too.

Did anybody else hear the starter stop running after the engine was shut off
The fan makes a weird winding down noise after shut down.
At a minimum they need nerf blades blades on those fans!
Those interior fans should be set at the correct height.
👍😎💯🇺🇲
Decapitator's, haha...
