Todo,
Sounds like a starter battery on its last legs. I don’t have a clue where the battery might be located. I’d start looking around in the generator under bay or perhaps the documentation that came with your coach. You did get build documentation with your coach?
On the other hand, I recently had a somewhat similar problem. The battery was six years old so that was my first thought, dead battery. I had a trip to Jeff’s, if you are close go there, and found out the control cable fitting was broken and loose. We did not have time to tackle that problem so Jeff showed me where it was, made an attempt to stabilize the connection and that was the problem. I still need to get a replacement fitting or cable as it is a known problem.
You might want to add some information in your signiture such as Towed Vehicle, City of Residence. Also, since you have a specific destination you might include what routes you will be taking, there may be a shop along the way. The added profile data will help all help you when a problem is encountered.
Best of luck in getting the problem figured out and fixed – soon!

Merry Christmas from Santa Fe Skies, woke up to a white Christmas, reindeer tracks all around the bus.

Our coaches all have a high potential for air leaks, mostly because we have so many devices and connections for air. But as Peter said there is no single best way to find them other than a systematic approach using one circuit at a time.
Whatever approach a person takes is less important than doing the detection to a plan. Understanding how the system being inspected works is the key because once a system is identified as being a leaker, then 100% of the effort can go into following that circuit rather than an entire area such as the steer compartment or rear of the coach. Not all leaks are going to make noise. Not all leaks will blow bubbles. Not all leaks show up at the point of the leak such as a valve leaking internally and exhausting the leak at another point 20 feet away.
The greatest chance of finding leaks is starting first by finding which circuit or device leaks. After that has been determined the search gets very easy because you follow the air flow from the supply to where it is used.
One general rule that will pay big dividends is that every time you encounter a push in fitting, replace it with a compression fitting. Once those fittings are leak free future air leaks become less difficult to isolate because they will not be among the hundreds of fittings now used.

Is there anyone out there willing to bring some of what Colt is spreading up to my garden?

I wanted to switch to Li and I contacted a company that has done many installations. They were honest in telling me the cost would be prohibitively high and the equipment required was a substantial part of the cost.
I suspect that the economics of a factory built AGM installation and a comparable Li installation are heavily biased towards AGM making Li only advantage weight savings at a very high cost.

I’m a witness Mark. Nancy sat on the golf cart near our coach and admitted she wants slides. Al was there to not only witness the confession, he went so far as to show Nancy his very nice 3 slide coach.
Nancy will be lucky if Tom buys her a one slide coach.

I recently changed out all my brake, hazard, back-up and tailoghts to LEDs. All worked fine but n the hangar. Once on the road issues arose. Left turn indicator displayed correctly on dash. Right turn indicator also worked but on dash displayed as four way flasher and brake indicator flashed on and off. Has anyone experienced this issue.

You can make this tool……. it will prevent “any” broken trim rings. Use a dry wall screw and some glue to attach the hand hold. Let it dry over night.
Shelf sponge is held on by using water base glue very light coat. You need the compression of the sponge to grip the trim ring. , Let glue dry over night.

The problem with a low charge rate comes in play when dry campiing and recharging the batteries from the generator. Running the generator hours on end, trying to charge up the battery bank in preperation for a night of quiet time, is unnecessary when a higher charge rate is possible with a different inverter/charger.
Running pole to pole like Jon does makes the recharge rate a non issue for him.

Mark,
Have someone take a video of your attempts to unlock after the overnight stay. Then show the proof to the Prevost Tech and ask them whats up with this. It may or may not be a Prevost problem. All I can say is technology is great … when it works. When it does not work don’t you just want to throw the key fob into Jeff’s “collection station.” The classic coaches with manual key door locks work everytime, except when the internal door mechanism breaks. Then the problem is ours to fix, after opening the lock by some other means.

Well, I guess you can find fault with everything if you look hard enough. And I suppose a better method of finding air leaks can always be found. My intent with the post above was simply to make other members who may not know about the advantages of using an Ultrasonic Leak Detector aware of it. I did not say it was a silver bullet, all I said is that it can make the job of finding air leaks a lot easier…………..

As with any other medical advice, specific, individualized circumstances should be considered as well (so, for example, if one is already taking NSAIDs, aspirin, “blood thinners”, etc., (additional) aspirin may not be desired, as excessive dosing of anti-platelet aggregation agents may lead to other issues (bleeding, etc.).
The best advice, though, is to stop, get up and walk around for 5 to 15 minutes every few hours of driving. That’s also true on an airplane, or on any other situation where prolonged sitting is likely.
(BTW, I am an M.D.)…
