Default Re: Are you a 97-01 tourmaster owners? Do you have a tag?

The T-40C had a choice of engines -- either the 330 HP MB or the 400 HP Cummins. The Mercedes is a commercial engine used in many Freightliner medium trucks and is serviced by my local Freightliner/Detroit engine shops. This driveline was also used in quite a few school buses as I understand it.

The dual propane furnaces on my coach seem to do the job just fine but their fans are a bit loud. The same can be said for the air conditioners. Since the air conditioners are ducted in a common set of ceiling outlets, I run the rear unit only when in the front of the coach watching TV or working at the desk, and just run the front unit when in the bedroom sleeping. Only rarely do I need to run both -- but I am in the Pacific Northwest, not the desert... A similar approach with the heaters (augmented with electric when in a park) solves the fan noise for the furnaces.

I have never missed a dishwasher in this coach so never have thought about that...
