    Hello, I have a 1972 Superior 2200 on the 1300 MHC chassis. 8 lug axles. It has a 392 and 727 trans, with a gearvendors under/overdrive. Runs on both gas and propane. Have added both front and rear stabilizer bars. We made a set of 19.5" rims for truck radials, using the 8 lug centers. Next i'd like to swap out the front beam axle for a disc brake axle. any thoughts on a donor axle would really be a help. will get some pics onto site soon. I'm down here in central Mexico, and have been up to the Salt Flats from here. about 5,000 mls. Thanks, and good wishes! Peter

    hi all;  ive been on here since oct. of last year.  working on a 74 I h c , and yes I H C built motorhomes for 1 year.  ive been through brakes ,wheel bearings ,replaced wheels to tubeless, repaired and replaced dash wiring and gauges, replaced fuse panel. put in new circuit breaker box because fridge was bad (replaced with Wal-Mart 120v unit and microwave).  but now my question to anyone who knows or understands part of the coach wiring is 120v and part is 12v.  this unit has a phillips converter pt# pc301-m-2, 30 amp ,which is no longer available.  it was struck by lightning, as was my house last year.  can someone explain wiring  and converters to me?  I understand most of it but would like to talk to some body who knows much more than me.  buy for now bless you all and be safe;  mi
