County coach finishing the inspection and test drive

A few last minute discoveries added to the bill on this job. General safety and wheel inspection

[@DLTJR1959]

Thanks Scott for including the cost for your work. I appreciate that you and Tyler don't rip people off and offer a great value to your customers. You will stay busy. Very reasonable.

[@stevesmusic1862]

Another great job Scott and Tyler! Another benefit of this work is that the bus can now do a regular maintainece once a year and be on top of things...the buses should run forever!!

[@whotknots]

In my experience you can get used to almost anything in time. I have owned as well as greatly appreciated and enjoyed a '97 Toyota Land Cruiser wagon for over a decade. Last year, a friend who is a professional truck driver had occasion to drive my Toyota and commented on how "the steering was all over the place". Although it didn't drive like it did when I first purchased the SUV, I hadn't noticed such substantial deterioration probably because I am the primary driver of the vehicle and deterioration would have been gradual. Off to the mechanic it went where it turned out that a wheel hub nut had been left loose by a previous technician after a stub axle replacement so the whole brake rotor was also loose so the vehicle came back vastly improved which was, distinctly noticeable. Faults like the king pin could not help but affect control characteristics even for a vehicle with a wheel base the size of a bus, for someone to claim they didn't notice any difference seems unusual. Then of course our species does not enjoy a level playing field with regard to perceptional acuities' and some people would never admit they had not noticed mismatched shoes .

Thank you for sharing with us the cost. As I am looking at purchasing a class a RV used I wanted to know the annual budget for upkeep. Thank you for your videos and for what you do to keep RV's and buses running.

[@VFVT101]

@Mike Hartman I have not purchased my RV as of yet. The ones that I have been interested in sell very quickly. I have been looking for a 1999 - 2008 non-slide but not the 45ft Prevost buses. A Wonderlodge, country coach or a foretravel 36- 40ft. With the price of diesel going up, these will be on sale soon......

[@thyhangman]

The last Country Coach's were made between 2008-2009 but we'll see them on the road for many years to come far out lasting conventional fiberglass coaches of the same vintage. Great content B.G.M.!

[@garysoykin2783]

You guys are so good to people, that’s what gets me it’s awesome there was that story in Northern California where these two young kids built a school bus camper and it broke down they had to have it towed to a shop that stuck it deep in there a- - nailed them for $7000 to fix an injector pump crap like that just pisses me off are the story you shared last week thousand dollar starter 500 to put it in what a joke keep up the great vibe in karma that you guys have with your community

[@zmotorsports62]

I like this old Gillig chassis. I had a Gillig under our first diesel pusher, a 38' 1991 Beaver and it was a solid chassis under a solid coach. Had it for 7 years and she had 129k on the clock when we sold it and purchased our 40' 2003 Monaco Dynasty. The Beaver want a powerhouse but it ran good and never had any drivetrain or chassis issues. I'm glad too see people keeping these older coaches going and on the road. Mike

[@anthonymurphy2449]

That's a BEAUTIFUL sounding Country coach! I wish I could see what this bus looks like, but just listening to it sounds luxurious. :-D Great job, Scott and crew!

[@jorgefernandez-mv8hu]

Nice job on that bus. Glad to see another bus that is safe to drive on the road. As you can see we are not Al attuned to the problems with a bus and need someone of your caliber to give us the news of what is what. Your honesty is refreshing and the owner knows the work is done correctly. Keep up the Great Work!

[@Tommy_Mac]

I know very little about diesels, don't own a bus or coach. I do love watching your videos. I guess it's your calm demeanor and expertise that make me want to watch. Great job!

[@marinablueGS]

Always look forward to a BGM video, always something to learn.

[@davidowen888]

Quite a quiet and smooth ride that country coach 👌

[@rickcockcroft7590]

That has to be the tightest and quietest bus you have filmed. Very nice.

[@davefroman4700]

Yeah I imagine by now everyone that shows up at Scott's knows the local test drive route.

[@frickandfracksicem]

seal tools arrived, Luke is dam good about sending the right parts, Seattle Scott working on 1954 Scenicruiser, I need a hard pad of concrete, front is 8,000 and rear is 22,000 Mr. Crosby is right-dam easy to make a jack into a flying object. good to see the fast turn around in repairs, working by my self takes several Saturdays to get the same work done. getting there, doing wheel seals now, too bad the previous mechanic used a chisel to seat the bearing nut, going to smooth that out or replace the nut.

[@defyrfytr]

Another great job. This is one of the quietest riding coaches I've seen on the channel.

[@cambrian7119]

Hi: The reason this motor home's Cummins jake works so well is because Cummins uses the Turbo as the jake brake by changing the pitch of the blades with an actuator to create a lot of exhaust drag. Michael

[@MrDexcars]

Hi Scott what a nice machine sooo quite and as always fantastic work by you and Tyler you two are such nice guys and that in maintenance of the vehicles is a rare commodity and even rarer to find honest ones well done guys Regards from Wales 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

[@80sDweeb]

Country Coach Magna from the 1990s is a solid, well-built RV. No sticks-n-staples here!

[@garysoykin2783]

Another great video with honesty!!

[@jamesshanks2614]

While some people would complain about the cost of maintenance the owners know the satisfaction of knowing their rev meets all standards per dot with nothing overlooked. Scott is one of the few willing to work on old and new buses converted to RV’s as most commercial shops won’t take the work in either because they don’t have a qualified Detroit 2 stroke mechanic or simply don’t want the vehicle hogging a service bay while they wait for parts. Ever thought about training a high school graduate of an auto motive program to teach him where the real steal is Scott? I personally think you’d be superb as you already do it for us the KZbin audience. Pick some kid who enjoys working on heavy equipment. Food for thought

[@MacGyver-1]

I have the same davy crocket smoker grill he has , just cooked an 8lb pork shoulder in 30 degree weather for 10 hrs today they are awesome 👍

[@marty0715yt]

That is some quiet bus!! Seems like it drives really tight and nice.

[@luckylascala7572]

Nice work as always 😎 Glad Too See You Open Up Your Service To Different Kinds Of Bus's And R.V.'s. Watching From Whittier Ca. Iam Looking At A 1963. 871. Is. This a Good Kind Of Engine

[@jaymiepobanz8801]

Got to love it, "Its my engine I'll call it what I want!"

[@jakem.6359]

Thanks for the ride a long....I'm surprised how quiet and rattle free that is for an older coach. But have always heard good things about Country Coach.

[@davidremy4470]

That's a fair price for a job of that size, done professionally, with the right parts, guaranteed. That's the big thing, nobody is gonna have to redo this job in six months to a year, it's a done deal. Another SATISFIED customer. NEXT!!

[@natevanlandingham1945]

I'd love to see Tyler tear into that Oliver and get the missing issue sorted out and see if he can get the transmission to where it won't pop out. Small parts, worn ball, fork or something small hopefully.

[@christopherrasmussen8718]

Grew up way north of there. Nothing like freezing axel shafts in the hands. Man I hated Winter work.

[@prophetkeyset2628]

I do enjoy your videos. Someday when I get another bus or motorhome I’ll be your customer for sure.

[@paulelliott2861]

Nice job 🤛🤛🤛👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@ralphballtrip2214]

You were telling us where we could find the older buses for sale, but I’ve got short time and I forgot can you tell me where to go look KY thank you for all the beautiful videos

[@ColdSteelCharger]

If you want to know how much metal is in the gear lube...hold a magnet near it while draining. High metal content will make the stream responsive to the magnet.

[@garysoykin2783]

Have you thought about building a couple more of those Quonset huts for those long-term projects like that school bus etc.

[@BusGreaseMonkey]

I can barely afford the one I’m putting up now. So no plans

[@dongriffin3025]

Great job!!!!!!

[@paulstruble9382]

Hi Scott, we have a 1995 country coach so glad to see that you do work on the country coaches as well I know you don’t work on the Cummings engine part of it but as far as airbags brakes wheel bearings nice to see, Also thanks for letting us know what that would cost for inspection I know each coach different situation but it gives us a baseline but that would cost, Paul

[@jbbatulis3513]

Cummins, Cummins and again Cummins.

[@robertgarrett5009]

Your lucky on this one, Gillig is still manufacturing chassis and coaches. So parts should be easy to get directly from them.

[@skyhawksailor8736]

Did you have to replace the keyed washer? Was it the wrong size, or was the key on it broken to allowed it to turn? Could it not working correctly have caused the torque on both the outer and inner bearing to be more than it should have been? I am assuming you did a full inspection on the other side also.

[@daleczer]

What’s real expensive. I am about to get a quote from a mechanic. I have sticky oil on inside of my tires on the passenger rear side.I have a Diesel pusher so I can’t do it myself. I would love to drive it to guys and have you do the work if that’s possible. Thanks for the videos. I always enjoy them…

[@LAP1050]

Gotta say your videos are SO MUCH BETTER when you have a professional 🌷 on the camera 📸

[@fluffy1346]

Always looking forward to watching ur video's

[@siaripop7]

$2,000.....what a deal......I recently had some plumbing work done on customer's home and five hours of work was $2,000 plus my fee's and a leak detection service fee (water leak under slab) was another $500!

[@bogiewheelman71]

I miss watching double clutching . 🚌

[@ralphballtrip2214]

The Quonset building did you have it built or do it yourself?

[@lloydrobinson7081]

keep the videos coming

[@sandraschutz510]

Chainsaw that tree on the left before you forget to tell someone and screech...... Congratulations on the donated tool set. Lots of treasures in there.

[@BusGreaseMonkey]

Not removing cedar trees. Extending the driveway area is the plan

[@ralphballtrip2214]

So my understanding you will work on the chassis brakes steering on other motorhomes but you don’t work on the engine right that’s still OK i’m planning on buying one. It might be in Columbus, Ohio or Kentucky. What would it cost to come inspect the brakes, the air and anything else you think of to make sure it’s good on the road. Thanks for the video KY.

[@garysoykin2783]

I can understand that I guess I was dreaming for you, you guys so deserve it

[@hunenkoenig]

Hello Guys nice Job and Bus. Why you dont cover ur Shop with a Plastik in Front.so you keep it warmer inside the Shop. Regards frome freezy Swiss.

[@johnparker7874]

All modern over the road trucks are 102”, before you add the mirrors.

[@galegregory341]

You got that one before it got greasy inside. It was a first time I ever seen a clean break job. Holy smokes that was clean

[@BusGreaseMonkey]

That was just about to become a mess

[@mojo68mitch]

I have a close match to that CC. I have a 95 36’ intrigue. The ride height doesn’t look right on that magna.

[@datadog7179]

Big vehicle, big parts, big work = Big Bucks. Don’t know how much similar work for automobile but, I bet not as much?

[@JeffreyFlow]

Korey is very good at what he does.

[@andywarrington4738]

excellent

[@russellhorne6745]

How is Tyler's conversion coming along not seen anything recently?

[@BlankBrain]

When the wheels are ready to fall off, it's a County Coach - 'cause that's how far it'll go.

[@ToConnect2000s]

@9:02 its like a 2x4 is really 1.5x3.5 because Murica 😀

[@82randyacman]

What tire Monitor system do you recommend.

[@richardgalli7262]

another satisfied customer

[@fatbackjacob5738]

Great video

[@allanmeehan89]

My comments were the same as another, because cost of repairs weigh heavily on me.

[@bigdaddeo76]

2 comments: 102" width limit is the vehicle. The mirrors have to be wider. I have a Cummins (2020 ) in my truck & I'm totally unimpressed with the engine brake. Every Detroit I ever drove was better. So if his Cummins brake was good, I'm wondering if it was a C brake, or something else...

[@johnmitchell5351]

That bus sounds very quiet inside compared to outside ,must be the noise travels behind you

[@williamisch]

you need to do a cold start on your Daughters Bus again :)

[@dodgeguyz]

And I’m here!

[@shawnlindsy8279]

The way I was told if you have a forty foot motorhome the 38 feet is the Living space

[@TylersNeighborhoodGarage]

In the title you mean COUNTRY coach

[@Mustang00007]

Need some yellow painted lines for the buses, maybe?

[@wirekat]

$2,000 is a bargain for work done right.

[@donlatimer5114]

Scott why couldn’t you enclose the front of the shop with two 12‘ x 16‘Roll up doors so you could heat the shop in the winter time

[@BusGreaseMonkey]

Eventually it will be closed off with doors.

[@DaffyDuc69]

I'm sure if he lived in Northern Wisconsin, it would be closed already. It only gets down to the mid 20's down there. Suggestion would be to put up a cabinet on the wall, and put a 100watt lightbulb in there to keep things from freezing. That's how they keep soda machines from freezing that are outside all winter.

[@rosymaam68]

I would love to come and see you some day. Now if i only had a bus for you guys to work on. Ho well, maybe some day.

[@robertlawson1053]

You mean Country Couch, not County Coach

[@brianlynch994]

I don't understand why he is reluctant to admit there were front end issues.

Two days would have been 10,000 dollars anywhere else!

“Longest S cam I’ve ever seen!” It’s not the size… it’s how you use it!

Not sure how you are making money at a repair like that for $2k. Cover your overhead and put some money in your pocket
