Re: Denning Hi-Deck Landseer History.

Looking at that photo of the 3 Landseer's it seems that the drivers position in the Hi-Deck was the same as a standard Landseer :)

I have a 7 speed Fuller Direct, that if ever needed any work would be replaced with a 13speed which gives you a split in each gear in high range :)

Re: Lithium Batteries for our Conversions

I have a piece of ply on each end to hold them firm
My plan is not to overcharge them so that they dont swell,well that is the plan! :lol:
From what I have seen a bad overcharge and not much is going to hold them

Re: DENNING DUAL TAG COACHES

Thanks Rod , some good info in this thread. From what I can gather all the Dual tyred coaches were a foot shorter in the wheelbase which would make sense so as to get the loading on the rear wheels now which ones drove and handled the best? Dual or single tyres I guess that the duals would stop bett...

Re: DENNING DUAL TAG COACHES

My Hi-Deck ex Deluxe has a dual tag and 6V92, Were there many like that or did most of the Hi-Decks with duals have 8V92s?

Re: whats your favourite bus for a motorhome?

Back to the OP I think a Denning or Tourmaster as we are using older buses. Both of these were built in Australia out of very common components at the time.

Some of these common parts are now not so common!

They are both well built buses that make a good motorhome platform

Went to Clark Rubber today and came home with some 20mm sound control material which I intend to line an enclosure for it.
My reason for a diesel is so I can hook it to the main tank and not have to worry about fuel
