Yes it is great... I sit down almost the whole 3 hours removing and installing the new manifold!

But what I really enjoy every day and night when we are on the road is the huge bedroom and big shower!

When we get ready for another coach I hope I can find a used Countess on the market!

I just discovered the Cummins Power Club. Saved me 10% on labor on a an expensive repair including a cracked manifold. More than worth the $20. to join

Just had my exhaust leak fixed on my ISL. Total bill $1124.44.

7hrs labor @ $120 hr
Gaskets $106.
Bolts $84.48

Throw in tax and the "padding" "shop materials" etc and it all adds up.
Branson Motor Coach did the job. The shop was up to its neck in work and it took a week for them to get to my job. He pointed out 3 other rigs waiting for exhaust gasket jobs along with mine when I brought it in. He can keep 8 coaches inside at a time and there was another 6 or 7 around on the lot outside. He does tour busses too and the Prevost were two deep!! Except for the time it took to get to the job I'm happy with the service. Luckily I had the time for them to take their time so that's a non-issue. I could have gone to Springfield and had the Cummins shop there do it but they're 50 mi. away.
