    Caging a brake was mentioned, but not in any detail.

    I would be extremely reluctant to cage a brake on my coach even though I have done so many times because on the road I have no way to support the chassis before I get under the coach and do not want anyone to even consider getting under the coach unless it is supported.

    That is best left to roadside service providers who have the means to protect themselves by supporting the coach.

    Thank you for posting all the pictures. That is what the rest of us have been waiting for. Great Pictures!

    Tom, we could have had a quiet discussion drinking coffee while the rest talked about understanding and repairing their slides.

    Davy,

    Don’t side with Tom. Think of poor Nancy and how bad she wants slides.

    Michael, the pictures of all the coaches is great and is fun to be able to associate the coach to its owner. And the pictures of all the training aspects is a great reminder of all the things we covered. But I think the pictures I like best are those of all the great folks we spent the weekend with!

    I’m reminded of my first professional job, almost 50 years ago now, when a manager was retiring after 35 years with the company. The president of the company said “you can replace the position but not the personality”! And that’s what I enjoyed about our time together, have enough time to know and enjoy the personalities!

    Great Pictures Michael, you really did a great job…

    Sounds like everybody had a good time and learned a lot. Looking at some of the pics, Jeff , on some of the coaches, has a full time job repairing the leans.

    The leans were an illusion. The ground sloped downhill so it looked like a lot of coaches were leaning left. They were level.

    Leans are a Optical Conclusion.

    It’s taken me a while to reply about the seminar, but here goes, it was nice seeing everyone again and making new friends. I enjoyed meeting Jeff as he is a wealth of information and I learned that you can always keep learning. ON the way home coming in the east side of Dallas a fast moving rock hauler passed me and threw up a monster size rock and shattered my drivers side windshield. I was due an service check up anyway and now need a new windshield, which is where Jeff’s teaching came in. Like a dummy I thought when a Prevost service center does a Level 3 service it included a air service check, but found out this isn’t the true, so I asked to have the air system check like Jeff explained and found the water separator/filter had both water and oil in it. Now the bus is getting a new engine driven air compressor, moral is when Jeff, Jon and Tom speak, people should listen.
