Thanks for chiming in Jon and you told me just what I wanted to know and that’s “don’t spend your awake time worrying about it”! And that’s good information by any standard.

Tesla’s Li battery pack is said to have the lifespan of 25 years. And their cars are expected to last over 300K miles. According to some YouTube videos anyway ? Their battery technology must be way ahead of the rest of the Li manufactures. The grand daddy inventor that created Li is working on a new type of battery technology. His name is Goodenough.

Van Hool. Does anyone know if MCI is using 365’s?

Good post as a reminder …
Had mine replaced when I zeroed out a couple years ago …

I Don’t do it often Harry but check every once in a while, raise your tag axle and it seems to make turning or backing into a spot a little easier or at least doesn’t scuff those high dollar back tag tires as much. These boogers don’t turn very well or not as good as your cars for sure.

Harry,
That is the valve I was referring to back in the beginning of this post. The purpose of the valve is to allow you to release the air pressure on the belt tensioner cylinders so that engine belts can be removed and replaced. The valve should be set at the closed position (not leaking air) for normal operation. Someone may have bumped it causing the leak.
I suspect that it was replaced by Jeff since it looks so new. Just close it and you have solved your first leak!
Best,
Doug

My renewal is next month and Miller’s is basically down to two options for AV. Nationwide and Progressive.
RV insurance seems to be going up drastically, especially since there are no book values for our buses and the Insurance industry in general has had some large claims over the last couple years (according to Miller’s).
In 2016, I paid around $1,800.
In 2017, I paid around $2,400, a 33% increase.
In 2018, I’ll pay around $3,200, another 33% increase.
If anyone has any other options, please chime in …
If I went with ACV, I would save around $600, but in my mind, it’s not worth it.

Thanks Mark, good info. Glad they will stick with the bus market and current policy holders. They may be the only game in town for Agreed Value over a million and sounds like only for renewals.

Is harmful for the generator or the appliance?

So … are you looking to replace the volt meter gauge or the voltage regulator?

That driver was not as lucky as me. Note the forward axle. Not only is the tire damaged but it sure looks like the axle has been moved back and to the right.

Thanks for the advice. Previously I actually called Marathon who told me to call Prevost who told me to call my local authorized bus repair facility who happens to be my neighbor. They’re right down the road and making a service call either tomorrow or Monday. The mechanic worked in Nashville for 20 years and works on a dozen tour bus Prevosts including a Marathon…plus hundreds of school buses. He knows my bus.
This job is way beyond my pay grade. I’m done and waiting for the local experts to help out.
Thank you all.

On my first look at the pictures it looked like the rear of the coach had caught the curb and ended up over it. After clicking on the images it and seeing the coach’s position it was apparent that it was more than a lapse in concentration and a curb catch. Thanks for the details on what happened Jon.
