What are these for #2
I have owned this coach for two years, two weeks ago I became aware of the small storage compartment on the passenger side behind the tag. In it found two sets of belts and several Prevost circuit breakers and these four metal pieces complete with part number. What are they?

Thanks Tim.

Roy: Where have you been storing your dump house and fresh water hose?

You’ve owned it 2 years and just found the compartment. Your kidding right?

Following … for a friend.

Tom may have been a little harsh, but he is absolutely right on.
If you own a bus like our Prevost conversions it has to be your duty to learn it. We often talk about owners who just want to be able to find the key, but that is exactly how some owners are and ownership of the bus is likely to bite them in the ass.
Our conversions are big, heavy and potentially dangerous. They provide a great deal of features that make their use very enjoyable, but they demand an owner who is going to develop at least a basic understanding of the coach.
I have often stated that new owners should at the very least look the coach over very well, open up all the various inspection panels, and try to develop an understanding of all the things that are behind the panels and behind the various doors and drawers.
An owner has to understand and manage the maintenance. I do not mean it is OK to take it to Prevost and the converter and expect them to do all that is required. You as an owner need to know when fluids and filters need to be changed. You need to know where the various shut offs are for the many systems. You need to know how the pneumatic system works and how to do a brake check. If nothing else that knowledge will give you more confidence in the coach.
You are driving a commercial type vehicle and only because of lax state laws are most allowed to drive without demonstrating the slightest knowledge or understanding of the coach, unlike commercial drivers who have to demonstrate pre-trip skills and basic knowledge. There is a whole lot more to these than trying to figure out how to operate the satellite dish.
Rant over.

Wow tough Crowd.

At 28 years of ownership I am still learning, but I can say without fear of contradiction that having a basic knowledge of the coach makes me as an owner far more relaxed when driving and using it and my confidence level ramps up significantly as I learn the coach.

Dick, I stored the sewer hose in a plastic tub in another bay. The water hose is attached to an electric reel.
Tom, I am not kidding. Actually, I did not find the compartment, I was told about it.
Jon, your thoughts and knowledge are always appreciated.

Roy,
Your Royale should have this handy-dandy compartment between the drive and tag axle for your sewer hose storage.

Thank you Alvie, I do have that compartment, and I did not know about it either. Thank you for the information. You are right, it is a handy-dandy little feature.

On Roy … I’m so tempted. I shouldn’t, it wouldn’t be right. I’ll control myself tonight.
