  • Damage at Prevost Service Center: Ft. Worth

    Posted by Tony on July 28, 2012 at 10:13 am

    In January i was at the service center in Ft. Worth having a few things taken care of and when I got home I noticed that the stainless trim on a mud flap was bent badly. The flap between the drive and tag axles. i thought, what the hell, I must have ran over something and not have even known it……….Well, I was back in the service center today for a few things and noticed that the opposite side mud flap was bent as well, which was not the case just a few hours before.

    The culprit to the bent flaps is the lift that Prevost uses to raise the coach for service. If not used properly or carefully, this is what you get. I apologize for not getting the photos in the correct orientation, but couldn’t figure it out……..

    Tony,

    If you can’t get them replaced a sheet metal shop with a roller and a little time can get them flat unless the studs that hold the stainless to the rubber interfere. They literally have to arced slightly the other way so they will spring back flat.

    Bummer.
