I guess I’m a die hard or maybe just plain nuts.   Went for a drive the other day, top down, replaced the light jacket with, a sweater and heavy coat and turned on the heat.  Only winterizing I’m planning on is checking the antifreeze.  Anyday above 50, dry and sunny is fairgame to me.  Let em look!!  I still get thums up from most.

Oh crap. I remember Maynard. And Dobbie and Cleo. Now that’s OLD!!! lol

Welcome Roland. Great group here so let fly with any questions. Therre’s a lot of info here.

Good on ya, Roland. Welcome to the group.

Yep I have them and that’s why I asked the question. I guess an 8 circuit will do the trick. Is that how you read it Paul?

luvmytd,
I guess up here in Georgia we’ll use the same winterizing technique as you down south in the Villages. Not much use for heat during the winter. 

Well….it still hurts.
Actually, I’m probably just jealous!

Winterizing has an entirely different meaning up here!

Paul I don’t mean to be cruel but I am enjoying driving my TD 12 months of the year.

Well, each fuse protects one circuit.
It’s more that the equipment will determine the number of circuits you need.
Have I sent you my Duchess schematics?

 Perhaps I misunderstood, but I think Luvmytd was referring to swapping the tonneau cover for the top. That was his winterization  process. Seems like I remember him driving it during his winter vacations before he retired.
 Happy Thanksgiving to all.

No shock. That was a bargain!

Luvmytd….
I have to say, and with all due respect…
Your post was just downright cruel to to those of us that live in the north.
Altho, I will say, the first time I ever drove my Duchess on the road, with “borrowed” license plates from my daily driver, I got snowed on!
Take that you “year-round warm weather” friend!
 
 

You’re not going to drive her during the winter months and live in FL and live in the Villages (where the wife and I want to retire)? Well if not, don’t forget to winterize the motor and fuel system as well. Regarless if its a VW, Chevy or Ford. Engines don’t run so good on crappy/stale gas. I have a Moss Motor’s catalogue and they even sell…[Read more]

. . . .And the MK-II is gone. 

A buddy of mine has an original TD, that is disassembled like just like that one! And it’s been that way for about ten years!And the $12k IS a good price for the MkIIPMOSSBERG40504.4079861111
