“The Prevost maintenance schedule calls for all grease fittings to get lubed every 6200 miles (about 100 KM)“
10,000km.

I don’t have a sense of scale, but I think you are seeing a normal wear pattern.
If you have read of issues with 365 tires losing chunks of rubber from that location it is because Michelin was getting complaints regarding the wear pattern you are showing. It didn’t affect tire life or safety, but it concerned those with those tires. So when the 365 tire was designed for Prevost a much smaller area across the tread surface at the edges was designed into the tires, and between that edge of the tread surface and the tread pattern was what Michelin describes as a “de-coupling” groove.
The bottom line is Michelin traded one problem for another because some with 365 tires had relatively large sections of rubber tear from the 365 tires at that point.
If you really want to do a better evaluation of your tire and get accurate information do a search on line for the Michelin commercial tire owner’s manual. It has almost 300 pages but the amount of photos and information will provide you with as much information about your wear pattern as you will ever want.

Darrell, before I saw your post I worked on this a bit, found a couple screws on the side of the height valve that seem to limit travel, a fixed rod in the seat framework contacts them. I am not sure about the item you mention, could you possibly find a photo of this so I know what I’m looking for? As to the screws for the seat cushion, I’m dense enough not to have found these either, have been working with the skirt removed somewhat ably. Thanks.

Bill…
Nothing special needed to tow our Ram 1500 4×4. It does have an auto, so start the engine, put the transmission in neutral, put the transfer case in neutral, shut off the engine, and drag it down the road. When you get “there”, start the engine, transmission in neutral, engage the transfer case in 2WD & go. We have experienced a dead battery after towing for several days without unhooking, which was solved by incorporating a charge terminal in the wiring plug from the bus. We previously towed a Jeep Grand Cherokee, and that was pretty straightforward too.

Dana @ AAP told me to reduce the fan speed to 50/60%. It increases the efficiency of the unit by giving the air a little more time to cool as it passes through other condenser. I have been following Dana’s instructions and get 3-5 deg cooler by slowing the fan speed.

Probably yes,but I don’t do it. Propane tanks go in mt tow vehicle.

Ales,
Unless you have the yellow valve in the steering compartment open, your Compressor is only supplying air to the Marathon side. As Jon pointed out, even if you have zero Prevost aux air, your Norgrens are locked with the key off. So your front leak is bags, Norgrens, lines, fittings or the front position on the 5 port manifold in the steering bay.

Jon, you want the good news or the bad news first?
If your garage is on your home owners, the bus will be covered by that as the only way it will be damaged is if something happens to the barn. Like barn burning down because bus caught fire.
BUT, you will not be getting Agreed Value with that coverage.
Uh, as with most insurance maybe that is the bad news and the bad news.

You can buy Prevost part number 160931 for about a hundred bucks. Or go to Menards and buy sku number 151-9008 for about a hundred bucks and make, say, 10 of them. I did both in 2009. The Menards stuff is EPDM rubber, and it lasted the ensuing nine years until I sold that bus. The Prevost part was for a 1994 shell.

If you are a DISH customer the app has been available for a long time. However, it’s only for folks who have accounts tagged as “outdoor” and not home accounts.
Getting DTV to change your locals (the topic at hand) is quite different.

Hey Glens, In that 40,000 miles, have you had any serious issues and/or issues that left you stranded? And that’s the same question I have for the others who responded to this thread. What happened, what did it cost and how long were you out of service?
Oh and one more thing… Looking back, was there anything you could-a/should-a done that would have prevented it?

Heck that stick is also a good cruise control device when it starts acting up.

This tensioner has 2 large springs inside and both were broken. There was no tension on the belt other then the weight of the roller. I will post a picture later of the springs.
The little pieces in the middle of each spring is what broke off and the springs were no longer anchored, so no tension.
