Same general idea on our 2003 Marathon.

They did for a couple of weeks but added it back.

I heard that Dish dropped Fox from their selection.

In my house she is the senior. She never reads these posts so I can reveal I married an older woman.

Thanks everyone, appreciate the input! We need to stay fairly close so will likely just end up at an unpaved gravel site 🙂

Dick, how can you be humble ? You have a Liberty ! Geo.
When told we bought a Prevost, both Bill Prietzel and Jerry Mueller asked the same question, “Did you get one just like George Prentice has?”
I said, “No. We have a Liberty. Its better.”
Hopefully you’ll venture away from the great unwashed masses at some point and learn what “excellence” really is. You have a standing invitation to join the rest of us anytime.

It is common for valve stems to be reoriented when TPS are used. Just have it point in such a way as to make the use of a tire chuck possible. If it is pointed straight up towards the hub cap some tire chucks are too long to allow filling or checking.
But I’ll bet you have valve stem extensions on the inner wheel.
Be very careful.
That valve stem extension had the rubber bushing in the outer wheel. If it did not have the bushing the force from the rotation of the wheel at highway speeds would have flexerd it enough so it would have actually hit the outer wheel with the same wear pattern. In each case if the stem does not wear through the forces on the short valve stem at the bend can cause fatigue failure at some point in time. So even if you do check the extension for wear, you cannot judge if the inner stem is ready to fail due to fatigue from flexing. It is not by accident the wheel designers have gotten away from the longer valve stems and are now using shorter ones as you show in your photo above.

I would bet money Davy was on high idle.

Unless our thinking changes there are going to be some things we will want owners to demonstrate on their own coaches. That might not be convenient if the coach is in some remote location.
Attendance is going to be limited, more because we are going to be under a coach as part of the session and we want everyone to be able to see and hear the discussion. That is one reason why the current thinking is to make this training program available at different times and at different venues.

I might be able to offer some insight, and maybe Okie might consider reposting the original.
I visit all the bus sites I can. Great information, lots of neat ideas, and some great people on them. Some of our members are on the same sites so I’m not the only Prevost owner that visits sites mostly about homebuilding.
Okie is one of our members that also visits these sites. Lately some of the sites have had some “pissing contests” mostly about the practical aspects of bus ownership. It is expensive and as we know if we defer some costs, such as tires or maintenance it can get very expensive when things go wrong.
Okie made a few posts pointing out the obvious in his normal humorous fashion on the other sites. Some of the members of the two sites in particular that had those discussions got somewhat argumentative. The conversations turned into snide remarks and personal attacks. At least one thread got so bad it was locked. The newbie that started the conversations by asking questions was in the middle of some of the controversy and I think he got kicked off. In other words a conversation that should have been a civil discourse got nasty.
I think I understand why Okie might be sensitive to how others feel and might be concerned about irritating PC members. In my opinion his initial post was a good one and was well worth reading.

My friend told me the damage was extensive. Only two walls were standing after the fire
crew finished their work. -
The front hubs are pretty cheap on the internet, and to replace the pair of hubs takes a couple of hours with simple hand tools.
The problem is GM has a crappy design.

Yea, It sounds to me like you have a poltergiest, in your coach, remedy two dried frogs heads, the tail from the African bushmaster, put under the seat , borrow Jons Lennon Sister cassete, find a player, “good luck here” and play for one day problem should go away! Gary

After looking at your picture the rectangular piece tied down with blue ties is a check valve. I’ve seen these installed in older applications. Not used often anymore due to collecting water thus spring inside weakens.

Then it looks like this.
The trailer hitch receiver on the Porsche is hidden behind a flip-up license plate!
What is the reason for this madness? Well, if I have to unhook and park the trailer away from the bus, then I use the Porsche to move it. Works quite well.
