Believe me, there are a lot of things we are looking at beside disc brakes. Nevertheless I consider disc brakes a requirement–much less chance of fading. First and foremost we are looking at floorplans–there are some strange ones out there. We want a stacked washer and dryer, and I think I would like roof ACs vs CruiseAirs, although the verdict is still out on that one. OTR AC seems like an unnecessary item–our roof ACs can freeze us out of coach. I have no problem with Jake brakes–they are very effective on our coach, however, I would probably have the Jake reprogrammed to a target gear of second–many coaches are programmed to 4th, with manual downshifting from there. With the Jake on high in third it’s like throwing a boat anchor out.
No choice of engines, but the series 60 should be a good engine. Seems like the Allison 4060 will be the transmission in the year coaches we’re looking at, which is the same tranny we have. Will have it changed over to Transynd if not already done. Most critical will be the condition of the coach, and we will look to a Prevost center to help us out on that issue. Would prefer a flat screen TV, but if necessary can change the tube TV out. Don’t want slides, but could stand one. Kind of leaning towards a Marathon after our factory visit last month, plus Marathon of Texas is only 246 miles from house. Will check out the Dallas coaches after we get home, but have no idea from their web site where the coaches are–we test drove a coach in Coburg that according to the web site is in Texas! Will have fun looking, though. The fun is in the chase, right! -
Jon,
You are probably just not sliding you fingers up on those buttons on that flip phone fast enough. You also have to slide your fingers briskly across the buttons to get the image to scroll sideways. Try both way for a week or two. Sometimes, your phone just needs to learn your patters to function correctly, so give this a try for a week or two for your phone to settle in. Try it for a couple of weeks and then get back to us.

Big Al said that Tom would spring for dinner—2 buses equals a mini rally. -
Cause he has feet, but no OTR.

Have now used the “map” site and have tried to add two places of interest….
Sorry I missed the click-on at the top.
Just wondering…does the requirement for the longitude and latitude information when provided actually trigger the placement of the selected logo on the map itself?
I know you don’t need more suggestions but the ability to see a printed set of recommended sites in a specific state and have it tie back to the map would be very helpful. I make this recommendation because of the crowded nature of the logos in the areas most traveled. For instance, in Orange Beach, it is hard to decipher which logo is which?
Great tool… there have to be a large. large number of recommended places that are not on this map.
Again.. thank you for the direction on the click-on.

Dick, I thought everyone knew that I drive a 600 HP SOB but was interested in downgrading to a slow Prevost.
I’ve decided against a Liberty since I refuse to downgrade from my smart phone to a flip phone!

That was ugly… Saw it first hand while at Jeff!’s shop!!

Seeing this thread, and since my policy is up for renewal soon, I just got a quote from Explorer. It is 50% of what I have been paying Progressive for identical coverages. I was going to change to a more bus-specific agent anyway, but saving 50% on top is pretty sweet! Note that the quote is for Triumphe Casualty Insurance, not National Union.

The Microphor has a hopper and is not like the plastic toilets that open and direct drop into the tank.

Here is what I use and like while traveling. Doesn’t take up much room, has non-marring plastic at each joint and works great. 32″ tall x 19″ wide. Not certain why 2 of the pictures are horizontal??

Although, I am partial to wooden floors of which we have plenty, i.e. teak.
One thing that interests me is, though, what kind of grout do you use?There must be some minute flexing in our floors and I can not imagine that you use the good old grout that you mix with water.
So what is it? Colored Silicone?
Cheers,
