Winnebago lesharo

We've managed to get all the bleeder screws loose without destroying them. I've pretty much rebuilt most of the camper stuff and only have to go through the LP system.

Brake bleed and fuel circuit soon

On the brake bleeders, I've had vehicles that for some reason, were just hard to get all the air out of the lines. I used these http://www.speedbleeder.com They work.

Update. Since pop never checked to see if any of the amenities and appliances worked (too busy throwing money at the PO I guess), this has been my task. We did find out that the mh had been sitting for a longer time than the PO stated. A story for another day...

Anyway,all of the 12v items now work. Fridge, lights, water pump, furnace fan. Shore power now works(fuses). A/c works(new breaker). Water system no longer leaks (need new city inlet though). Need a new water heater element.

Still dealing with the brake bleed screws, fuel circuit.

It's getting there. I have learned enough about LeSharos in the last 2 months to safely say I would take one if you gave it to me, but only if there were cases of beer in the deal as well...

DS

We'd like to hear how she drives once you get her going.

The brake cylinders from England were the wrong ones. Got a refund for those. Ordered a set from Mobility in Iowa, they worked. Got the brake shoes from Mobility and after minor modifications, they fit. It only took installing, modifying, and re-installing 8 times.
Pop wants to call the LeSharo "Jinx", but I told him that would be bad luck. I said we should call it, "Christine".
Once we get over the basic stuff, it'll all be good.

The new nickname for Pops LeSharo is:

"gouffre financier"

This is French for financial abyss...

Turns out the rear brake shoes need to be replaced. We decided to change out the brake cylinders while we were at it. Cylinders are coming in from England, the shoes from Iowa.

My father is beginning to see the light, but he has his project so I'm doing what I can to help him. He did smile when I suggested we attach some JATO rockets for acceleration

I could tow it behind my PW Plateau TS--slowly. Would that help?? Just kidding...

As much as I LOVE my diesels, if I had a Lesharo with engine issues, I would be dropping a GM 3800 and 4T60E/4T65E in it so quick it would make its head spin. They have adapters to drop that motor into just about anything, if they can cram it in a Fiero, it should fit a Lesharo, lol. I bet it would still get 20mpg pulling a Lesharo. As it stands now I have a rusted out Lumina in my yard with a 100k mile 3800-II and 4T65E for a donor ;)
