Hi Sid, we passed each other on Monday, I was going west in the black and silver XLII. Your bus looks great going down the road!

Our 2000 Royale Ps tank has a tag that states 10-40 Oil put over the factory tag that states Dexton. In 7years of ownership have added very little and have used 10-40 oil

Sorry you can’t make it DKO and hope your Dad will be OK.

What I want to know is how did you get the old one out? I tried to change one when I replaced my shocks recently and could not get the old stud out. Used a 1 inch impact and it would not budge. Did not try to heat it.

I could probably crank up the footwell air slide and bathroom door to 120 psi. That should cause some excitement.

Our web guru has advised us we have the latest in safety features. We are still deleting these folks daily. Apparently one of their objectives is to access the admin side of the site to play hell behind the scenes as you mention Paul so our web guru backs us up daily and can access and restore our data with a minimum of disruption should the Whackos succeed.

BTW, Whackos is not what we usually call them. My term is scumbags.

Tom, I see your hose is starting to flatten and kink, this come with age and must be addressed before ……….. happens.

If you have an XLII the problem is caused by the fuel fill inlet in the tank being below the top of the tank. When fuel enters the tank, when near full, fuel goes above the fill inlet in the tank. The fuel above the fill inlet is then forced down and out the fuel fill neck. There is a fix, but only for one side (passenger’s side I think). The fix is effectively a ball in the fill hose that blocks the hose when fuel pushes out of the tank.

What many of us have done is learn to stop filling at about 20 gallons from full. Then we either stop or try pumping very slowly and just a bit at a time. Typically, the fuel burb doesn’t happen when using the slow car pumps.

I forget which ones, but have seen simuliar signs at at least two Florida rest stops. I think they use the term “veniomous snakes”, I guess that’s more tactfull. So much for stretching your legs in the tall grass 🙂

all the above is great advise but my recommendation would be to get Jon’s platinum American Express and Loc’s GSA gas card and then you could ignore all the previous advice and keep the petal to the metal and just throw away the dirty clothes and by new stuff when you need to. NO DOWN TIME.

Sounds like a real expedition, good luck and enjoy.

One think that I don’t remember being mentioned is the Bass Pro Shop is just on the other side of I40 from the park.

This is my first experience with 365’s
vs 315’s and other than seeming to track down the interstate better,
I can’t tell much difference. My 315’s were at 105 psi and the 365’s
are at 100, so 5 lbs is nothing. There may be a little better ride,
but again, I can’t really tell. They look pretty awesome and there is
some occasional rub on the styrofoam in certain extreme wheel
positions. Get into a tight downhill hard turn like my driveway while
maneuvering and I get some minor rub and noise, even when pumped up.
The 315’s didn’t do any of that.

If I had a bus with 315’s and no weight
issue on the steer, I would not go to 365’s, but for heavy front ends
needing high tire pressure, the 365’s would be the solution.

Jon,

I have received a bunch of invites to a Prevost Call or Webinar on this… I don’t have anything as steep as you have but I do have one dip that concerned me to the point I got out and got down on my stomach to make sure I would clear on the back… I cleared the plastic skirt on the engine rails by about an inch…

I won’ be able to be on the call… can you share more about this “Level Low” how it works…. where I can get more information about?

Thanks

Bill

Sounds like a great application for blue Loctite – threadlocker.
