Some new running lights for the old coach

Upgrading time for the running lights

It was one of the jobs that was started down at Leigh Creek, but I ran out of time before heading up north to Yulara. The old running lights did make it to QLD with a quick fix up here and there.  We are waiting to move under cover in to the big equestrian indoor arena at the Toowoomba Showgrounds to start fixing the roof leak found on a good down pour while up here.

We have been in the Toowoomba area now for four weeks and I must say it’s quite a nice place. Apart from having to move out of the Showgrounds for one week as the place was booked out.  We decided to stayed on a farm for that week at a farmstay called The  Chookhouse.  It was great, the owners were very nice, it was the first time for them having a 12m motorhome parked there.

The Chookhouse stay

LED light time

The old running light had seen better days and as the front of the coach had already been fix in S.A , we now thought it was a good time to finish them.

Out with the old running lights.

The former owner had already fitted new LED indicators/reflectors  which made the old running lights at the side of the bus look even older.

Just a little bit stuffed, how where they even working?
New wires solidered and insulated.
I’ll have to patch up the holes later before the paint job.
Nice new LED’s
More soldered and insulation under the coach.
Top ones need fixing too.
Think they will see us now.

That will do for now

Until the inside is finished,  the outside will have to stay looking like someone does not love it. I’m really looking forward to the outside being all painted,  it’s going to make such a big difference,  that will have to wait for another day.
