Looks great!

Just thought I would update,
we got home last night from a 2300 mile trip to northern sask, back to south of calgary and then home. Coach ran great, other than just after we left I was losing some oil, checked it out and the timing plug came out and it was lost. Its just held in with an o-ring, after some pondering of how to plug this hole up and thinking of what to plug it with we ended up cracking a bottle of wine put a screw in the end of it and pushed it in the hole, I tell you it fits better than the factory plug!! Its still in there and bone dry! We laughed about it quite a bit, relaxed and drank wine for the rest of the night. Next morning we hit the road and not a lick of trouble the rest of the trip, avg 9.5mpg at 70mph pulling the 22ft jetboat fully loaded. No issues in the hills or passing. Very happy with the coach, were all ready to jump back in and hit the road again, for such an old coach it is surprising how comfortable and fun to drive it is.
