Almost complete on the installation of the new computer we built and installed in the coach. The monitor is mounted in a wood base which in turn is mounted on a computer swing arm and stabilized by legs. The use of sliders mounted underneath the legs allows the monitor to be
moved forward and rearward with out any problem. The arm, shown in its stowed position, is held by a clevis (hitch) pin that goes through the swing arm (not shown) and inserts into the base. That prevents any forward or rearward movement of the monitor while in motion. With the hitch pin removed the monitor will swing forward about 10 inches. The keyboard is a wireless Logitech diNovo Edge and the computer is an Asus motherboard with a medium priced Intel DDR3 processor, a Seagate SATA drive, a NVIDA 5200 video card for two monitors, one that is shown and the other one is a 7” monitor that is mounted at the driver’s side.
All that is left to do on the installation is sand the cover, apply sanding sealer and finish sanding. Then a couple of coats of oil base enamel, install the hinge and handle, and install the brass guide for the lid.
The program running is DeLome’s Navigation software that we are using. The trip shown is our next one, starting next Thursday to Dublin, Texas for the 118th birthday party for the Dr Pepper Bottling Plant.
