  • Another Great Visit At Tennessee Luxury Coach

    Posted by Davy on March 30, 2015 at 1:36 pm

    We just completed another great visit at East Tennessee Luxury Coach. This is our third visit with Jeff Rowe and his guys and I always leave well satisfied with the work and the cost. Thanks, Jeff, for squeezing me in and treating me, my family and the BoggsMobile so well.

    This visit Jeff replaced the bushings in this pivot for the tag. By the time both sides started knocking, for lack of a better description, and I discovered there was a grease fitting, it was too late to grease them.

    They changed the coolant and installed a new electric block heater in the process.

    They changed the mini air bags and the air regulator in the engine compartment.

    He also chased down a pesky air leak that caused my front to drop in just a few hours since I had the air bags replaced last year. It was a bad fitting on top of the driver’s side air bag.

    I really appreciate Jeff going the extra mile for me on this one. Since I park in church parking lots most of the time I am often forced to park in challenging places in order to get close to electricity. This week is a good example. My front tires are up on nearly 3″ of boards the level lo is near the end of its upward travel. They are holding great!

    The final thing was Centramatics Since I replaced the front tires last April and moved the front tires to the back I have been having balancing problems in the front periodically. Some days they ride as smooth as silk and other days it is absolutely horrible. I have tried both spin balancing and Equal in the past and up until now I was satisfied with Equal. It did not work correctly this time.


    I have only driven about 200 miles with the Centamatics and only about 100 miles of that was at highway speed but so far I am impressed. I will report back if anything changes.

    It was unusual to have two mid door Prevosts in one place since they are so rare. But this is the second time it happened to us because I had seen this one once before when we were at Prevost Nashville.

    Here is one final picture of Jeff with my daughter Odie.

    She is smiling because she loves anybody that will spoil her and take up for her! Well, and she smiles about all the time anyway!

    I am very thankful for Jeff and his guys at East Tennessee Luxury Coach. Nobody said owning and operating a bus would be easy or cheap but having somebody I can trust sure helps a big bunch. I have had some great experiences at Prevost and elsewhere but I love going to Jeff’s.

    Davy,

    Odie is a beautiful girl, but who’s the old bald guy in the photo?

    I didn’t remember Jeff being that bald. Or maybe he was and I couldn’t tell with his hat on! Or I know – its your pretty daughter that makes Jeff look that way.

    At any rate I agree that you are in good hands at Jeff’s place!!!

    Must be the bad lighting. That is what I always say.
