    We have discussed this from time to time with members, and may have even posted this, but this resource is so valuable it is worth repeating.

    https://prevostevents.webex.com/mw0307l/mywebex/default.do?siteurl=prevostevents

    This link which can be accessed on the commercial side of the Prevost Car website via the “tools” drop down is a listing of webinars available on a wide range of topics. Many of the questions owners have can be aswered in these webinars. Even if you have no intention of trouble shooting or doing a repair yourself these webinars will make you aware of what is involved in servicing your coach, ranging from popping in a windshield to servicing your OTR AC system.

    I would suggest you bookmark the site and when you are looking for something to do that will not get you in trouble, pick a topic crank up the sound and enjoy the session.

    I watched the HVAC webinar. Very well done. They seem to be targeted at service technicians and contain a lot of good information including how to change the seal on a Carrier 05G compressor and generally troubleshoot the OTR system.

    My humidity indicator is pink so I know the system needs to be evacuated, the filter/dessicant replaced and recharged. Still looking for some local vehicle refrigeration outfit (PDX) that knows more about the OTR system than I do at this point. The local Carrier service affiliate did not make me feel warm and fuzzy.

    A charter bus company, especially one that has Prevost coaches is likely to be a good source for AC service, particularly if the shop technician has attended the Prevost training or seen the webinar.

    The systems are robust and reliable if properly maintained. Usually the biggest issue is the compressor seal begins to leak so if you are ever going to pump it down take advantage of that to consider a compressor seal. If the area behind the clutch is wet with oil that’s a good clue.
