The coach had been virtually unused for 7 years. The owner is 87 and we did not go over a few things.
Correct generator liquid line not controlled by sniffer. Sniffer? well I was looking for something like that because I could see the electric shut-off. Thanks for telling me across from the sink. I pulled the drawer and saw the back of it and when I moved the grapefruit bag. Shazam turn it on and beep,beep,beep for about 5 minutes. When it stopped just bleed the air by opening the burner and flame appeared. Tried the furnace and abracadabra heat.

Next cab heat valve at the front. Also Try the fridge is next. My folks brought me a bunch of Boudin and crawfish to Fort Worth(yummmmmm)

Sounds like things are getting better and better. The fridge may not get cold as fast as you think it should. Some of the older ones can take hours to get down to proper temp. I always turn mine on the day before loading up. It doesn't take as long as the old one but at least I'm sure it will keep the soft drinks Wink cold.

Some folks turn it on for summer, or a week before, I've read.

Sweet got the dash heater free. Got to love WD-40. Thanks Rusty for helping me remember where that issue was. My sister is on a 45 degree angle street. I will wait for a more level spot to try the fridge.
Right now I was out there looking at stuff. This is the first time I have had time to just take it in and enjoy. I am pumped. Hey I have a good connection I am going to go out and take a picture and try and post it.

Glad to hear that thing are getting better. My gen runs without the sniffer on also. I had to go to Camper World after 3 cold nights. I felt really stupid!

Congratulations on your new Barth Dana, sounds like your adventure has been getting better with each hour and passing mile. The snows are finally melting, potholes are blossoming and spring and fishing opener are just around the bend. Cool

If the pictures don't lie, you've got a really clean coach there. Glad you made it home, the white knuckles can get blood flow again.

The backup lights are in an interesting spot. They would be great for hooking up a toad.

Good luck, safe travels.

Back-up light location, on Breakaways of that era, seem to be commonly put in that area. They also come on with a backup horn to make any lingering near the rear of the coach somewhat unpleasant. Big Grin

Another unique and fine looking Barth! Can't wait to see a photo of you putting in your fishing boat with it at a DNR boat launch this summer. Big Grin

Hey we aint home yet. We now are on the final stretch. Danged if Iowa doesn't have wireless internet in there rest stops. Sweet! Also dump station. Going out to give it the first dump. Yes the outside is amazingly clean and It has been just sitting baking in the Arizona sun. The inside needs some cleaning. A window was left open for some time so..... We are cleaning as we have time. We ran the heat yesterday after the front went thru and dropped the temps to 40 and the wind to 50. Of course then last night no heat?? Check all the obvious things like breaker and which fuses I think it would be. Fan is free, thinking maybe the sail switch. I'll check it at home.
