Oldest CC of the lot?
With all this talk of older Country Coach's, I was just wondering who of you out there has the oldest Country Coach number around?

We just took in a 1984 38' "Country Camper" #3457

Thanks for the information. I found it today by the drivers door by my left foot just like you said. The coach number is 4089. I'll probably call them Monday and see if I can get a manual.
BTW the coach is coming along fine. We removed the foam covering on the ceiling to minimize smoke smell and removed the table and chairs in the kitchen area also. They were smelly too. My wife and daughter did allot of scrubbing also and it smells much better.
The fire may have been started by the Wabasco(sp) diesel heater. When I looked at the burnt thermostat above the table there were wires that looked like they shorted out and caused the fire. One wire had a very sharp bend and was probably stressed. It was also touching another wire and it is possible that with the heat generated by the two wires when touching that is was to much. They could have also chaffed over time by being so close too. Anyway you may want to look at yours.
We have a long ways to go though. Today I removed part of the sealant over some of the hardware on the roof and we are in the process of getting new roof vents and replacing one air conditioner with a heat pump. We want to get the coach water tight before we proceed.
When I was in the kitchen today I tried to read what the switches did on the panel just above the TV but it is to fried. Can you tell me what they do?

Doug, Congratulations on your "new" coach. I hadn't checked the CC Yahoo Group in the past month so missed your earlier posts. We have a 38' '87 LTD, #4223, with 250 hp Cat 3208T. There don't seem to be many of us "oldtimers" in the group; so pertinent help isn't always available.

I'm happy to be of any help, as long as you remember that "free advice" is worth what you pay for it.

Fuel: Our tank is 150 gal and the quantity gauge is overall pretty accurate. By that, I mean the needle will indicate "Full" for a couple of hundred miles and then begin to drop. With a half tank indication, it usually takes 80/85 gal. to fill it. Last time I filled up, with 1/4 tank indicated, I put in 103 gal., or 47 remaining. In CO, which is home, we get 7 mpg, and that includes furnace and generator useage. Mileage increased to 8+ at lower altitudes when we drove the Gulf Coast in April. Of course, we do have that Saturn back there helping to push us along. Yeah, I'd dearly love to have the high volume fuel filler neck but that's a project for "next week."

Your Microphor toilet is a fantastic piece of equipment and the same model number is still available, as well as parts from
www.microphor.com You can download the service manual from them too.
If you don't have manuals, you might not realize there is an aux. air supply system for toilet flushing while the coach is parked/engine compressor not running. I can't tell you much about the original setup of that system, as mine had been modified by the time I bought the coach, but I'll be happy to share what I do know about it, when you get to that stage of "know your RV."

While you're re-doing your interior, if you need pictures for reference, let me know. The coach is in our back yard and I have a digital camera.

I notice there are lots of tire discussions in the group. My $.02 worth says "Michelin is the only way to go," when it's time for new ones.

Don't know if you know that Country Coach was originally Country Camper. Sometime in '86/'87 they changed the name, allegedly because "Coach" was classier than "Camper." Ours is one of the transition models; the etched glass in the door says "Country Camper" but everything else is "Coach."

Enjoy the LTD,
