Not fun! Generator is a real PITA.

Actually I didn't find the generator to be that big of a pain in the butt or the aqua hot although I did have a kink in my generator line so be careful of that. The hardest part I found was removing the covers for the hose in line and wire races that run down the center of the coach in The bays pulling the lines through that was a nasty dirty job. Also getting those back on proved to be extremely difficult for me. But I did it and I did it myself so it's definitely doable.

Just finished mine recently. Gen and Aquahot was the hardest part for me.Dirty job all around putting cover back on large bay was real pain. Glad I won't be around in 20 to do it again

Got 3 lines pulled today and would have pulled the last one to the generator but I screwed up on the hose length. I put a connector
between the old and the new line and pull the old one out and the new one in. I thought the generator was going to be a horrible
job but it just pull though and the other one is moving so should be easy. The Aqua-hot lines were replaced last year so
they are good.

When you have your tank out Great time to reseal the fuel tank drain hole in the lower floor to stop and water getting between the lower floor structure. Also installed membrane tape to corners to seal up tight.

Got the tank back in today and started up the Cummins. Pulled the last generator line in and will hook them up tomorrow. Needed
to pull a wire from from the cab to the Allison computer so I pulled 4 wires to that bay. Also I pulled a string though to the rear
just incase I ever need to  pull a wire to the rear.

Thanks John I know of the wires from the front to the back but none to the middle and as I needed one to the Allison computer it
was just as easy to pull extra wires.

I used to buy rolls of Continental fuel hose. The kind with all the little ribs on the outside. It was great stuff and never cracked, etc.

Where did you buy the continental hose from?  I'm having a lot of trouble sourcing parker HTFL

I went to a local hose and fitting place near me called Newline and that was the fuel hose that they sell. I'm on the west coast in
Canada

Thanks.  I might try the same strategy.  I'd really like to find the HTFL though.

What do HTLf mean

HTFL is the name of a Parker brand fuel line.  "High Temperature Fuel Line".  Compatible with the existing fittings so you can reuse them.
