Right above the solenoid valve in Tom’s picture underneath the 6 screws is where the rubber diaphragm is located. If that cover has a sticker with a large S on it then you have an inline screen that should be checked if you are having a flushing issue that you think may be related to inadequate water flow. Just unscrew the diaphragm contraption and the screen is right below that.

Jon,
Your starting to sound like George Carlin, appears to me like you just have too much “stuff”. Before long it will progress to the other half of the equation, wherein you have your “stuff” and others have their “s&%t” which takes up valuable space for your “stuff”. It can get very nasty when your “stuff” begins to overide, say your brides “stuff”. I would be willing to bet that you may have already vocalized about Liberty as to why they put in all this “s%&t” and now there is no room for your “stuff”!
I suspect when you replaced your earlier coach you drove your new coach up next to it and discovered that you had way more “stuff'” than you could ever imagine, in fact there may have even been a little “s&%t” mixed in with your “stuff”. Where did I get this”s&%t”, it doesn’t belong with my “stuff”!
Truth is that your tow car is now becoming another container for your “stuff”. Simplify your life and get rid of some “stuff”, sell it if you can but remember they don’t pay much for your “s&%t” because to them, their “stuff” is “stuff” and your “stuff” is “s&%t”.
Buy folding bicycles and throw them under the bed, or if you want some real fun RENT a Segway!

Gil,
I have these part number mappings:
Prevost P/N : Goodyear P/N
630151 : 1R12-377
630239 : 1R14-167
630126 : 1R11-096
630105 : 1R11-089
630125 : 1R12-319
If you can find the mapping for your coach, Goodyear will happily provide the charts.

Actually my main reflectors and lenses are ok. It is the orange directional lenses that are showing some signs of age plus a crack or two from stones. I’ll check into what Prevost charges for the units.

Chuck,
My shop compressor (upright 50 gal) had a drain valve on the bottom. I hooked a lanyard to it and just drain the tank any time I’m going to use shop air for the bus. I’ve never had an issue with water, as long as I purge the valve often.

Nice Job! The white insert in the sofa really ties the salon colors together and adds that little extra touch. Good job. Bob

Donnie is your guy on a Vantare. I cannot brag about he and his team enough. I was also plagued with amx problems. He changed it out to the rti system. It has been bullet proof since. Operates off. My iPad and iPhone. Controls many more things than the amx and is easier to use.
Donnie finished totally remodeling our coach in June. Outstanding job!

If those are pushin fittings, getting the pipe out is somewaht easy.
If you will notice on each fitting there is a small collar extending from the fitting, to get the pipe out you have to push in on the collar while pulling the pipe out, other wise it will not come out.
I can see one in your picture just above the brass valve with the black hose going to it. It is the little piece of white plastic protruding from the fitting.
I have used the fittings alot and the pex tubing and they are really easy to work with.

Michael, sure send me s copy.
It sounds like Vantare installed overhead conduit. I don’t know why all converters don’t do the same.

An 86 model will be a non DDEC coach so I am not sure how it works. On DDEC equipped coaches low coolant is one of the three conditions that will light the check engine and stop engine lights and shut the coach down.

Question…..Is buying a Prevost like buying a used boat? When I bought a boat along with the deposit and signing the contract, I made the notation on the contract that the purchase was contingent upon hauling the boat and having it surveyed from stem to stern. Is this the way it’s done in the used coach business?

WOW! I feel like that military robot in the movie Short Circuit where he’s struck by lightning and comes alive…he required “input” to gain knowledge, and I’m loving all of this input! You have no idea how much I appreciate all of you taking me under your wing so to speak and offering your advice which is based on years of what to do and not to do. I’m still torn between the two types of chassis….although being quite honest the H3 has more “eye candy” appeal to me. The Branson Rally is a great idea! I’m going to do my level best to be there.
Interesting side note….I’m a Florida native (Born and reared in Miami) oh and while I’m sidetracking here…Jon I understand you’re a pilot….my Dad (God rest his soul) was the very first Flight Engineer National Airlines ever hired when they started needing a third guy in the cockpit! Anyway I called my Allstate agent to get some idea of insurance costs here in Texas. I have a friend who has a house in Austin, but lives in Florida overseeing his Cable company he owns there. He bought his Class A in Florida but got Texas plates. He told me this morning that he should have gotten Florida plates, because Texas hit him with a 35,000 dollar impact fee! (Which Florida doesn’t do) So I guess I’ll have Florida plates on the coach!
And while I understand the weight problem with the Stacker, it’s only a 20 footer, which keeps me at the DOT length limit. I might just have to have a 4-wheeler for those dry camping days. Also, whatever coach I end up with you can rest assured that I too will “zero out” the maintenance issue. Better safe than sorry! I’ve had Sportfishing boats all my life (used to fish tournaments), and I thought that they had complicated systems! Provost is another level higher than boats. I realized this when I read the thread about tire balancing here….bags inside the tires as opposed to lead weights???? I’m beginning to think that learning to fly an F-16 has a shallower learning curve! I guess this adventure will prove out the old saying that “You can’t teach an old dog new tricks” I guess we’ll find out.
And to my nameless friend who is picking up his first used coach in Nashville in September, thank you for your information and from my research Royale is one of the best conversion companies.
And on another note I read about the Lobster run you guys are making….Lobster is good…but you haven’t lived until you feasted on Stone Crab claws fresh out of the Florida Keys water! As a sign of my appreciation to all of you, I will fill up a bin full of fresh Stone Crabs, and we’ll meet in a Central location for a Crab feast….my treat. Stone Crabs are only in season with months with the letter “r” in them. I’ve tried so many times to get the State of Florida to change the spelling to Arrrrrgust….to no avail.
