I sure hope someone will video tape this seminar….or parts thereof.

We have not done that because the seminar does not lend itself to video recording. We move fast, bounce back and forth with questions interspersed with the presentation in one bay of the ETLC shop.
Further adding to the difficulty is the fact we are not only in a “classroom” setting, we are under a coach or two, and anywhere we need to be to demonstrate something. It is not fair to those attending to add the accommodations for videoing the proceedings, dealing with sound and light issues and possibly needing close access to things for viewing.
If it is to be recorded it should be done solely for a camera and not during a real class. If attendance is not possible I strongly suggest starting to view the multitude of Prevost webinars that can be found on the Prevost Car site.

Will there be a “How to properly tow.” session?
-
Not this time, however towing is covered by Prevost in their service manual for your coach.
In the simplest of terms avoid trailering unless extreme caution is observed to avoid damage to the lower front trim or undercarriage. Cannot overstate how much damage has been done to coaches when loading.
If being towed, the ideal is steer axle wheel lifting. There are provisions for lifting in places other than the wheels, such as under a solid axle, and even on an IFS steer axle but again the risk of damage ramps up greatly.
Do not be intimidated by a tow truck driver that may let you know how smart and experienced he is. If you are uncomfortable for any reason keep in mind it is your coach and damage repair just is going to add to your misery at having to be towed.

I thought Inverter Services was going to be at the seminar.

We did too, but we were unable to make it happen.
