Love that handheld crimping tool. Looks like a real handy item to have in the tool chest!

I truly admire your brilliant and inspiring work on the buses. I have a strong love for this being an old time mechanic and adore motorhomes. Keep up the great videos. Love to you all from Down Under.

Refreshing to watch real mechanics at work fixing real issues with these coaches. You guys do it right.

Country Coach was started by three Lee brothers in Oregon….. I think they started in the Class A arena with chassis’s from Gillig and eventually purchased rights to use a Gillig design to build their own chassis…..they also did Prevost conversions…..The two most active of the three brothers were Bob and Ron……I forget the third brothers name, but a very interesting family……At one point, they had hired Jack Courtemanch to oversee the company…..his family had deep connections with Mack truck, and 13:11 Jack was Nancy Reagan’s chief of staff when the highest level meetings were being held in Iceland……Monaco and Country Coach manufacturing plants shared a fence in Junction City OR when I first encountered the motorhome chassis business……Executive MH at the time was in Anaheim CA and built gas pushers on Gillig chassis with Chevrolet 427 gas engines (it was a version that Chevrolet built for dump trucks…..had a special camshaft, etc…. I retired from a 24 year career with Gillig in early 2005….did service liaison with the motorhome community at FMCA and manufacturers rallies all over the country….. I swear that any and every owner who came into our display had “just one quick question “……met a lot of very interesting people……at 83, my toolbox is retired……and so am I!!!!

Once again, Scott and company... you've probably saved someone's life or kept them from serious injury! Thanks heavens you and your team are in business and have such a wonderful and thoughtful work ethic. Thank you, thank you, thank you! Stay well, stay safe!

Scott, it's just amazing to me just how beat down these coaches are. It's like "No Maintenance" at all. People like driving them but the hell with working on them. I've been in the trucking industry all my life, and the motoring public should be glad that trucks don't go down the road in this shape.

another fine job you and your crew did. your vids remind me of my younger days doing heavy equipment repairs. keep on keeping on !!! at the rate your going now your going to have one hell of a customer base!!!!👍

This mechanic is worth every dollar spent. You might spend more but you get a job well done. They go the extra mile. God bless you and your crew.

I love watching your videos because you put so much information in them I had no idea that the air pressure in the tire went off the weight of the vehicle

Man, I wish I lived closer to you guys. Would love my Country Coach serviced by y'all! Be like going to the spa! Great video!

Actually, All it takes is money and the right people working on it🤙

I'm working on my 2004 fleetwood Discovery. we owned it about 3 month's. so far it's just small stuff. Fridge, stove, had to rebuild the condensor motor on both AC, now working on Furnace rebuild (looks like a bad thermostat). That axle and airbag stuff is pretty intimidating, but I'm watching!

Just love watching you guys working on those buses. Good Job.

some of these buses.......the horror. This one is better than most, but it still features things which have not been greased etc. Thats a good tip on tyre pressures......only run as much pressure as you need, it makes a big difference to ride quality.

I’ve had 2 country coaches! Absolutely love them!

That sway bar repair is excellent!!!!

We don't really have this concept of privately owned buses in Europe so I find these videos an interesting insight to a very different culture. In Europe it would be a nightmare to find parking spaces for something that size.

Now that's a scary sight! Great to get to it and get it all repaired.

Nice, smooth test drive (ride) - good job

Love it when a job gets done like that

ABSOLUTELY ------> OUTSTANDING!!!!!!!!!! 🙂

Good job keep up the good work 👍

Sure would like to get my 2002 Beaver Marquis to you guys for R&R

I really envy people who are masters of their vocation: carpenters, mechanics, metal works etc, who use their knowledge translated something tangible. I have a master's degree in Liberal Arts which is a whole bunch of theories, hypothesis and assertions - little to show in real world, well something 😊

Another quality job 👍

Great video once again! I'm considering a used Country Coach myself. I think I'll pay for a pre-inspection. That seemed like a lot all at once for a Country Coach, but I guess they're all the same when it comes to wear items. ***SUBSCRIBED***

Sway bar bushings is the first thing Togo on my motorhome, new ones are like a front end man in a can.😂

Nice mobile home - live it. 24:05 a little fun, it has no issue there.

There are kits and professional services that can fix leaky multi pane windows in place. The process is drilling a hole in one pane, washing and drying between them and then closing it up with a one way membrane. My co worker had the process done to some large windows in his house years ago, still good and it was hundreds of dollars rather than thousands.

Country Coach was a high end manufacturer , sadly they shut down in 2008 during the downturn. Founded by three brothers, I think, The Lee family. Was based in Oregon. Who built the chassis for the RV, Roadmaster? I don't think that was a bus conversion. Great job as usual Scott and crew.

That is a ton of work. Bus is lik “branew”.

Another happy customer Though a little poorer Oh the bus life 😂😂

Nitrogen would allow the tires to maintain a consistent pressure regardless of temperature. That is why aircraft tires are nitrogen filled, without that they could explode on long taxi ways at airports with hot climates.

I ran max sidewall pressure (125 psi) on my Yokohama's until I could get the coach weighed. It rode like a Flintstone mobile. After weighing I could drop the pressure down to 90 psi on each corner.

Another Happy Customer 😊 ☮️❤️ I think I'll stick wit my short 😝bus 💰

Brothers 💪👍🏻🤓😎 Provo Proust, big Blew Bird. Titusville to Alaska and back 🏴‍☠️🏁🏴🏳️🇨🇦🇺🇸

Good job

Nice coach.

"They feel a lot better than my checkbook" (tires) LOL! ( Both have been deflated😉)

The tire thumping was expecting a rendition of Cotton Eye Joe lol

keep the clips coming

I love the buses everywhere. I know you probably don't like that comment maybe they need to be worked on, but , there is only so much time and money available.

I had the same problem with the window left of my driver's seat. Less than a year after getting it repaired, it fogged up again so I replaced it with RV Glass Solutions’ Lifetime Laminated Glass (LAM) and never have to worry about it fogging up again. The R-value difference is very minimal so I don't notice a difference when it is cold out.

To me there must be some real dangerous stuff over there, considering how many vehicles there are on the roads. However once they visit you everything is cool.

I've had two CCs. Both 2000 40'ers with IFS & tight at 95k & 102k miles. Chassis issues never even crossed my mind. Only airbags & tires. For being that new, an owner must've hit something for the torsion bar & kingpin being bad?

I’m pretty sure that noise in the beginning is Jumanji

Here are some sequential NEW WAVE THEATER FACTS OF LIFE (look up THAT subreference!): 1) ALL , repeat ALL buses that cross his path have, AT THE VERY BEST, not been maintained nominally, according to any schedule whatsoever. 2) MOSTLY thery are severely abused and neglected, causing MORE damage costing WAY MORE than had they just even NOMINALLY maintained them (not all of this is the present owners' fault, as they may have bought the buses KNOWING there were severe problems and purchased it with these repair costs in mind 3) Scott has ethically repaired EVERY SINGLE ONE, and I HOPE he has issued a MANDATORY MAINTENANCE and inspection schedule for these yobbos. That will serve them and him well in the future. As always, great video Scott. Do you remember the New Wave Theater on the USA Network?

Seems like every bus coming in to BGM has clapped out kingpins, rotten airbags, and leaking seals. And that's before the engine gets looked at!

That mount for the sway bar bushing looks really under-engineered, pretty much all of the ones I've ever seen were built from heavy guage angle sections and gusseted to the rest of the frame to avoid damage like that.

"Straight around the square", isn't a more contradictory statement! LOL

Very good. I've been subscribed for years but I had stopped watching your videos for a few years, due to being very sad after a tree fell on our DP motorhome, destroying it. We had decided not to replace it but just now are reconsidering another coach. The work that this coach in the video needed was frightening because it must have been driving in a seriously flawed way. As always, your work is impressive. Do people put Toyo tires on their coach for the same reason as their car? A softer ride?

Scott, I have a question about the 1" Milwaukee battery impact. How heavy is it, compared to the air counterpart? That thing, is a beast!

Do you use cribbing as well?

How was the smell on the toyo tires,I've heard they have a weird oder for a few months after being put on. Nice motorhome.

What were you using to do the toe check?? Thnx

:58 Sounds like the bass track on a Bee Gees song.

Scott sir….wanting to clarify you said drive axle tires were set to 80psi…tag would be 75psi…owner wanted 80psi….did you mean steer tires were at 90psi?….I think you said drive but meant steer. Thank you guys.

How many miles was on the coach

I am new to the world of bus repair. Do they ever need to do an emergency brake test?

first part checking front end sound like jumanji ...lol

I have a 3.5t Motorhome, a tiny thing by comparison but on all the forums here in the UK we have so many rattles being commented on from within the vans, the hob, ovens, crockery cutlery etc, like a skellygog having fun in a biscuit tin, the test runs seem to be just Bus noises, is that a mic not picking it up or something?

What's going on with the windscreen wipers? Why are they parked up there and why are they so small? Must be downright dangerous in the rain?

Sounds like a Cummins ISL/ISM with an Allison B5/600?

Looks like y'all bought a tool to make hydraulic hoses! Must save time from always having to run to town to make them up.

I bet that new radiator was expensive $$$$.

🤛👍🙏😎🦅🇺🇸

21:53 I can't tell if he's laughing or crying there. lol

Didn't know that single piece windshield glass was legal on a motor coach in the US? Its the big reason you can't import European coaches too north America.

Maybe put a cone under the driveway rock

This may be a stupid question but, I'm asking it anyway. Couldn't one use a shim for the play on the kingpin?

Well you got one thing right in the Heading.......Monkey

Very mice bus. I hate the consider what he just spent on his service,especially with all those new tires.

Sometime in the future, you might consider digging a pit rather than crawling around in a tunnel of limited space for undercarriage repairs.

a king pin first up i though it was

As a former driver in my opinion if you want to drive something like this you should be required to have at least a basic knowledge of all it's components and should be subject to the same inspection and determinate of the dot but with that said the places other than grease monkey should be held liable for inspections and repairs that they claimed to do and didn't

You mean it's not supposed to have glitter? Lol.

Why. Do people want to own a big old bus?
