I will admit that I just cannot get my brain wrapped around the problem.
When you press the rocker switch you open the path between the air bag and exhaust. That makes the front end go down. When you take your finger off the rocker switch the only thing that should change is the 3 port that exhausts the air closes. Yet it sounds like you are then dealing with an open air supply valve that resupplies air to the air bag.
What I cannot understand is if the air supply valve is open, allowing air under pressure to pass into the air bag, one of two things need to happen. Either the air supply valve is open all the time, something that would show up as you exhaust air to lower the front as a pressure reduction on the aux gauge, or when you release the rocker switch, something is sending a signal to the air supply valve to open. I cannot think of anything else, so I am anxious for your diagnosis.

You can depart Sunday or Monday. Traffic is not an issue as a result of the event. There might be traffic on I-4 but that has nothing to do with the rally.

I reacted like I do when driving………..I gave it the finger.

I see – that light doesn’t go on on mine. Perhaps it’s burnt out. I’ll have to open it up and see what’s going on.
Thanks for the info!

The older you get (like Tom for example) the more you will be wanting a pit.

That’s what Marathon did, the floor slide is key on, but Marathon aux air.

There doesn’t seem to be any loss in quality from all the little boxes, the switcher, etc… That’s the beauty of digital!
Even the whole converstion from HDMI to IP that goes over the Cat5e network wire looks perfect. You can’t tell any difference between it and plugging the TV in directly to the Bluray player. If there is a difference – you can’t see it.
Same with the sound. When we first got the bus, believe it or not, it was an exciting thing to have a “home theater” that wasn’t in the house. We have 3 kids (4,3,2 years old) and don’t really get to watch anything but Thomas the Train and Frozen in the house so we watched our backlog of movies in the bus. Before the upgrade, we just watched the DVD’s. Oblivion was my sort of “reference” for the upgrade. The sound is the same now as it was before. But the picture – that’s WAY better in HD than it was in SD.
There might be some sort of loss in the conversion of the Techlink video from SD to HDMI… but it looks the same to me and even if it was somehow not quite as good… for that display it wouln’t really matter that much.
However – you do run into other snafu’s. For example – I had the idea that I wanted to be able to break out the digital audio from the switcher to a convertor box to run into the Car Stereo in the bedroom that feeds the speakers. But the convertor box didn’t recognize a DTS encoded audio stream. So when I plyaed a DTS movie, the convertor box just made noise. SO, in the bedroom, I had use the headphone out from the TV itself to input to the Car Stereo to run the overhead speakers.
I also bought one little 14$ box that didnt work correctly – this was the one that took HDMI and converted it down the Standard Definition for the Co-Pilot display. The picture would studder and flash every few seconds. I bought a different brand of box for another 14$ and it works great.
At least those components are pretty inexpensive.
One of the other next steps will be to try to figure out what components from the original install I can remove – to make room on the wall for the new stuff. And to just clean it out a little bit in general. But – I should probably move on to the 365 tire upgrade as I weighed the bus the other day and it’s 18,100 on the front (EEEEK!) within spec but if I gain any more wight it won’t be!

Well, I’m not the Tennessee winner and since you are reading this, you most likely are not a winner either. I know we had bad odds of winning, mine virtually the same as your chances as I did not buy a ticket…..

This is a great post to show a owner who is on top of it and has owned the coach from new and had no trouble with the starter but replaced it and it was going bad . Getting towed from a rest area or where ever or having somebody come and fix it that you don’t trust will far out way the cost of having it done at Jeff’s shop !!!!!! I have seen them go bad at 90,000 miles to 120,000 up to 200,00 miles and look the same way this one did…

Let’s start a new thread it has drifted , will be hard for people to find info

The key is not where you get the data, how you get the data or how it is displayed. The key is reading the data in a timely manner and reacting when something has deviated from expectations.
I won’t get into an argument about analog or digital except to say we all need to have the data displayed so a deviation catches out eye. Otheriwse it is just a bunch of useless, unused historical information that shows what happened right up until the failure.

I don’t know how we can resolve the problem of having two or more experts offer different answers or advice.
It happens across the board, and can happen with suppliers of components, Prevost, the converter, and for certain on forums such as this. The bottom line is we alone are responsible for sorting things out so we do the right thing. One thing I have learned is when in a serious situation and I am getting conflicting information I ask those offering advice to provide their source for the information, or at least an explanation as to the basis for the information. It is a fair question.
One clue someone is full of shit is when the answer is “that is how we have always done it”, and the most recent example of that was when we were trying to get to the correct answer on CAC hoses. As it turns out we were the ones that were correct.

We used the XDN’s on our trucks and they were great! It was much better than any other tire we used for traction and still had good life.

Is it bad if all those words are used in a single “discussion”? 🙂
