I was afraid that might be the case. I'll start getting some bids

There is an outfit called "Bus Depot" (busdepot.com) that sells everything you need. Even the black oxide coated nuts. Don't waste your time navigating the website, just call with the lengths, and the nice lady will help you to see the picture on the site to verify your needs. Good luck,

I'm having a hard time finding a place who can make the camper canvas/frame for our new-to-us 01 380.
This looked to be the ticket: http://rnr-marine.com/Canvas.shtml
But, it seems like they don't cover this boat.
Thoughts?
So I finished reading the entire thread last night while watching the election results. I've read about the TRW valves, the "soft" blocks, the refrigerator replacements, the flat screen installs, old electronics, generator swap, hot water heater element replacement, cutless bearing swap and various leak fixes. I've also noticed that a few folks no longer have their 380s any more (Most have moved up.), but some have had them for years.
I have an appointment later this week to view a 380DA with 3126 Cats. So I will ask the same question many people have asked already in this very thread, but with a slight twist.
What do I need to look for on this particular vessel that might want to prevent me from hiring a surveyor and move on to the next 380? I plan on bringing my coveralls and exploring every crevice I can get my face (or phone camera) into.
Depends on your time frame...oil samples are $20/ea in bulk from Blackstone. Take oil samples of the engines, trannies and genny. Take about a week to ten days. Then sea trial. Watch for temperature changes at cruise and WOT, make sure you are hitting expected speeds at expected RPM...if you aren't, you may be looking at more trouble than you want to assume.
I haven't had great luck with surveys, but I usually learn something about the boat I didn't know.
The guy to reach out to is quality time. He's the only diesel 380 owner I'm aware of. He has since sold the 380 but he's a great resource.
