    The 5G upgrade process has begun.

    https://www.reviewjournal.com/business/verizon-upgrading-to-north-las-vegas-site-for-5g-broadband/

    It makes sense that Las Vegas will be one of the first areas to offer 5G service as that’s where the majority of electronic-related trade shows are held. This way, manufacturers can offer product demos to the trade at their booths when the next generation products are unveiled. A similar roll out method happened when car cellular service was launched in the 1980’s and Las Vegas and Chicago were on the top of the priority list for the wireless carriers.

    Thank you for your kindness.

    If you jump it, do you get 24V at junction 69? If not, I would question whether we have the right switch.

    I do not know the answer to that but I can check it out Monday.

    I will also look at the diagram again to try to answer this, but is there a way to check the continuity between the wires on what I think is the pressure switch and some where else? This would be to help confirm I have the proper switch.

    I do not believe I have daytime running lamps at all.

    Thanks again.

    Does anyone know how the top row of dash lights are removed on a 95 XL? Do they screw out or pull out?

    Now that we are back on the road Joanne and I are looking forward to this event. We really enjoyed the previous one we attended , the Carlisle folks did a great job putting on the event and the auction was a lot of fun. We managed not to buy anything but who knows this year?

    did you call Jeff? I’d ask him if he has one. If he does not, call Chuck at Commonwealth Coach and ask for him to pull one off one of the bus his is stripping.

    I would request a FedEx or UPS overnight to your location.

    Well nothing is impossible.

    One way to handle this is before anything is posted is have to the poster sign that he/she/company delete the post or post sold when a bus is sold. If it is not they loose privilege to post again.

    Another way is to contact poster. You say you do that now?

    A third way is to have a place for members who find sold buses to tell the mod.

    One more way and probably the most effective is to compile an email a list of each for sale poster. Group them all together in one folder. Every two weeks or so you can send to the group that if the bus has sold please remove. The email letter can be brief, it can be stored in a file, and it can be done in less than a minute. Certainly not hours and hours. It really is that simple.

    nothing is impossible in today’s world

    I don’t know about other electronic devices but I learned ground problems to be near the top of the list when problems crop up on our coaches.

    Robert,

    Keep in mind the only thing in common with the converters is the chassis, otherwise, they are very different.

    Liberty uses Lithium Ion battery technology.

    Liberty, Marathon and Millennium put their generator radiators in different locations. Now, Liberty has an ‘all-in-one’ Onan but the previous Liberty’s put the genny radiator in a side bay, Marathon put it in the front grill and Millennium on the roof. The newer Marathons and Millennium’s may have changed.

    You just can’t go wrong with a Prevost Chassis!

    Thanks guys. I’ll probably just run the cruise airs if we overnight somewhere on the run to the skinny guy (630miles).

    Harry, no, I always look at Satellite views, and reviews, if I’m not familiar with the RV park I’m going to, to avoid that happening. Especially when I am traveling with my stacker Trailer.

    If the concrete had been level with the ground like most are, this wouldn’t have happened. But in sandy areas, that’s about impossible due to the sand.

    I really think the design of the narrow tread on the edge of the 365 is a bad design. I don’t think it would have been a factor with a 315.

    Something else I noticed is, I have put 20,000 miles on the 365’s I just took off. The steer had worn 3/32nd from new, and the tag had worn 5/32 from new. So, that tells me the dragging of the tag when turning, takes a beating. Also, that narrow tread I mentioned just gets ground off because it’s flimsy being on the edge.

    Harry, that looks like the same connection we had on our Affinity. You should be able to just push it in to the receptacle and twist to lock. Never had trouble on the Affinity.

    Harry you may have to spend about 2 hrs pulling the house reel out to be able to reattach the bottom of the receptacle. After that you should be able to connect fairly easy.

    I have never seen a light on my dash indicating retarder function. Curious as to where it might be. My coach appears to be a frankenstein with regard to my dash, however. 1999 chassis equipped with early XLII style dash.
