BT cruiser full rebuild

[❤️life]

I too had a gap on passenger side cab to coach connection below gutter drain and am trying to replace screws outside many break off at head so thought if I could get a knowledgeable individual of what you have replaced outside screws with? also my paint looks the same as yours do you have any information on how to get those different colored screws

Beds in and tested

The bed systems works great. 2 - 6” twin beds. We cut 10” off the width this we used to make 3 - 24” bolsters. The beds pull out to 37” or we can used them at 26”. Nice to have choices. We took it out for a shack down cruise.

I added 2 stabilizers on the rear. Found a neat trick to help level the rear. I used the onboard compressor to raise the rear then brought it down to the stabilizers at different heights to get it level. Worked good. I since added valves to adjust each side independently.

Water from gap at seam

I was able to reuse the screws that I removed. I broke one when I used a drill driver to reinstall it. After that I only used a square head screw driver. I didn’t break any more. We found some spray paint that was very close in color. Poked the screws in cardboard and sprayed the heads. Good to go.

If you need the color codes for bigger sections you should contact GS. They will need your rigs info. Good luck.

Simple design requires a return line to the tank

Sorry I just got started back at the rebuild. I had a tree come down on my barn had to clean that up.

The return line goes to the water tank. With the valve in the heat position water comes from the water heater goes to the tank. Then move the valve and hot water is at the shower.

I bought the valve on Amazon. They actually have kits. Some are electronically controlled with a solenoid and a hot indicator. Too complicated.

We were able to test this setup on a weeklong trip to the Atlantic. Got down in the 40s at night. We camped at a dry camp site This worked great. Instant hot water to the shower and saved water.

We took Our Cruiser out on several shake down cruises. Ran into a few issues and created a punch list.

One issue was the 12 volt refrigerator set a E3 error. E3 = under voltage, tests showed that it was actually over voltage. Move it to the 12 volt house batteries and that bug was fixed.
A couple of drawers came opened on maneuvering curves, added some magnets and problem solved.

The diesel heater worked great. I got a chance to fill the tank from a diesel pump at the gas station. I had only filled it using fuel cans during testing.

All in all a successful trip.
