Jon:
You are 100% correct, I am just in the middle of a business trip and was at a boat yard that had one of my exact battery in stock on the shelf and for less money than I have previously purchased at an RV shop.
It’s a get me home fix for now. Wish they had enough on the shelf for me to get a complete set.

Interesting to know about California. Colorado has us subject our coach to a dyno test annually to check opacity of our smoke cloud only, which can go ok, or terribly wrong as did happened in 2017 and… the state allows heavy truck and bus emissions testing shops to charge up to their hourly rate, but they don’t have to. Most big shops like Trans West Trucks do charge one hour labor, tho
we could use our ORI indio address

Mikee, Jessica and I apologize for any issues that you may have had. With that being said, we have never been, nor will ever be “MIA”. We make our contact information available in every welcome email and on the website in several locations. I have checked and have seen no direct correspondence from you.
As Jessica stated, through unforeseen circumstances we have had a few technological changes lately. I assure you that we are here to assist and we are only an email or phone call away.

Good job Chuck

An important air system check is to air up the bus and shut it down. With all 4 tanks pressurized, starting with the wet tank you should be able to drain each tank in sequence (wet, primary, secondary, accessory) and each succeeding tank should retain its pressure.
You are doing two very important things. Obviously you are draining any accumulated moisture. If you have maintained the dryer or water separator on the conversion side of the accessory tank, each tank should be bone dry.
The second thing is you are verifying the various check and protection valves are functioning as intended so a catastrophic loss of air pressure in one part of the system does not render the rest of the systems inoperative.
Based on the discussion above I am pretty sure the simultaneous leaking is a signal to me that not only is something leaking to atmosphere, but that within the system check valves or protection valves are also leaking. I doubt if the problem has a single cause.

Luc, the washer diameter is not critical, you can cut them with scissors. They can be square if you want. The purpose of this washer is to retain the screw so it doesn’t drop on the ground when you remove the lens.

Do these belts (especially the triple) have enough flexibility to get between the trailer hitch and the crankshaft pulley?

Hello Art – Agree… seems they do not last very long.
I have replaced them twice in just under five years of Prevost ownership. Since the first time, I only replace those on the wet, primary, secondary, and aux tanks; and, have PLUGGED all ping tanks.
With a properly operating and routinely serviced engine driven compressor AIR FILTER DRYER, water will never make it to a ping tank.

Jim, All EFS cards, the one issued by TSD, go inactive after 6 months of no activity. A call gets it active again. The ladies are available during the business day.

not as simple as it apears.. go to prevostcar.com use last letter in serial number plus last 4 digits. example w6553 is mine That is how it was delivered to marathon.. For example my defroster motors are 24V. Light are 12V some gauges are 24V .In this case don’t reinvent the original=problems..Your ddec is 12 V for example. My experience FWIW

Any luck? Just lost one of mine also. “Peanut” type, curb side steer axle.

Jeff – the hot gas bypass valve must be cut out / completely removed which will require adding a new threaded stem to be soldered in to accommodate the pressure switch. In mine it was also required to crimp the piece of tubing going to the HGBV and solder it closed. Wish I had taken photos to better illustrate.
