Thank you for your input. I looked up the FMC coach. I still like the idea of the polished aluminum trailer/motorhome. I just wish I were more mechanical. Chemistry I am great. But for some reason engines baffle me. Maybe it is on purpose.

If you really interested please see:

which is my "technical history" posted as another fellow (School Bus Mechanic) and I were having a "difference of experience" (Note: NOT a difference of opinion) about fuel mileage on Propane (C3H8). He accused me of "cooking the books" although I had referenced only Published Government Data.

I only monitor this excellant Barth Website as the MCC Barth has a stretched FMC frame and suspension and some stretched/raised fiberglass exterior. This is the first I have commented as I really am only an "interested bystander". I happen to be a FMC owner, and have had fun "fixin' it up".

While Barth Owners are "blessed" with their Turd Fairy (noted many places thruout out this website), some of us FMC Owners refer to ourselves as Turd Polishers - from an old AeroSpace/HotRod saying - Some things are like polishing a turd . . . the harder you rub, the duller it gets.
Some of what I tell you is true ! Lou, FMC #120.

Lou, After reading your bio I will trust you on anything pertaining to an engine. How cool to have been a fighter pilot. I wanted to be a fighter pilot when I was young but alas I was practically blind. I still believe I could have been good if I had had great vision. I have found in different sports, especially baseball alot of the people have better vision than the average person. 20/10 versus 20/20 is that true for fighter pilots? I hope you continue to post I have enjoyed your opinions.
Kickin as Mary Ray calls me.

Has that CNG question already been discussed in this Forum ?
(Not suitable for a Motorhome, now or in the next 10 years)

I never implied I was a Fighter Pilot. I was a JET ENGINE MECHANIC.

Sorry Lou, I read that and guess I input my own thoughts. If you had been a pilot you would not know as much as you do about engines.
