Talking about Quicksilver is really jacking this thread.
But I will say, she is wired almost 100% with Space Shuttle Discovery and Endeavor, surplus "refit" (new) wire. Orange blue and white. Tefzel. And DuPont Kapton insulated wire, and five different gauges of good old fashioned teflon FAA grade wire. Eat your heart out I bought the wire at the Lockheed surplus auctions held on Saturdays in Palmdale for .50 pound. I used to go with Pat Tuminaro, the then Snap On tools dealer.
The wire is stiffer than a ******* *****. I had to slop on a ton of wire lube to pull it through the EMT. RV's do not lend themselves to wire sweeps so I had to use pull-ells. Come-along and blue streak language coaxing. Chinese - Fingers and nylon twine. There are triple 1" EMT runs down port and starboard. Pull Tees at each receptacle junction. I lucked out big-time and found a crate of 90 degree #6 forked terminals at Halted Electronics (and a pallet of 1000va full isolation transformers).
Not about the bus. It has a 400-HP 855 Cummins upgrade with a Fuller 13-speed and SQHD rear axle. Loaded to near Max GVW it gives 13.5 mpg and climbing a 6% grade for 110 miles almost 9 mpg
A 10 dollar taxi ride from a very remote RV park each way to town plus 21 dollars for a night, cannot compare with a twenty one dollar room right on the plaza. That and the park entrance is too narrow for comfort. The paint and mural cost me almost four grand 30 years ago.
