Welcome to the asylum Cliff. I always tell members this is the place where we always answer every question, and on certain rare occasions may actually give a correct answer.
Now that we have you on board and an announcement about Prevost’s participation pending I can see I have to be very careful about how I choose my words about the quality of the answers on this site.

Thanks for the new site. It looks great, looking forward to learning more every day!………………Lj

A BCM member shopping for Prevost stumbled over this site and was impressed. He posted on the BCM site his opinion and location of prevostcommunity. Just to let you know some one else like it also. I know his rep and he has owned many Prevost and is one of the most knowledgeable around and will be a asset. Bob

I’ll play curmudgeon on this issue because I have had on the road tire issues.
In both cases I never lost any time in my travels, but in both cases I could not get direct tire replacements. If a schedule is not critical I see no issues with a coach with odd size tires. When we started out with our first coach we had 120 tires. At the time all the truckers were running 110 and bus companies that had 120 tires usually did not own them but leased them. My point being when I had my first road hazard failure my option was to wait a day or two for the tire company to get a 120 or I could have an 110, put it on the tag and keep on schedule. That is what we did.
If I fast forward 10 or 12 years the same thing happened with the current coach and again a 315 tire was not available so the odd size replacement was thrown on the tag and the 315 from the tag was thrown on the steer.
As soon as a coach is fit with 365s on the steer, a road hazard failure effectively shuts the coach down until the correct size tire is available. Add in super singles and the problem of finding a replacement size ramps up dramatically. The question is not if you experience a road hazard failure, but when. If the failure is catastrophic, and not merely a tire losing air are you prepared to drive the coach on the rim to the next exit or some safe point to remain while awaiting a replacement? Big fat tires look neat. Big fat tires may make for a smoother ride, increase the margin of safety due to axle weight, or just make the coach look cool. But consider that there is a downside.
I will admit I have started to get away from the 6.70 – 15 bias ply tires on my cars.

Super singles require a shorter drive axle. I was at the factory and took pictures, asked and that was the result. Better check with Prevost before you make a tire purchase.

Something we ALL can do to help stop this stupid globale warming crap is to remember to vote in Nov.
It may be too late for CA. but maybe not the rest of the country.

I have been trying to find direct replacement for the 20 watt xenon bulbs as that is what I have but not found them, especially at the price you found. If possible please post the location, am really interested.
Posting pics on this site is very easy. Jon can walk you through it but just to the left of the You Tube sign above you will see a picture with a tree and the sun. Hit that, then hit the browse button to find your pic, then once you find the pic, hit okay and it will load it for you. Very easy compared to BCM site, no resizing, etc.

Well the link didn’t work but if you copy & paste it you will get the BCM board. Then click on “bus topics” and scroll down until you find “Bus Rally” by Don Faidchild.
Also we will keep updates posted here.
;D BK ;D

you can buy waterproof. watch spec. also diaeltric grease helps. I changed my landscape lights over and have not had one fail in two years. before it was changing all the time at 4-6 a pop.In your ceiling spots- If you have the G-4 or G-6 base there are direct push in led replacements for your halegons. When I go up later I’ll try to get you some #’s will be 1/3 the cost of Lowes or Home depot in one case I paid $6 for one that was $24.95 at Lowes. I took it to the manager and ask why? It was apples to apples. but at lowes it was in a fancy plastic case that would hold 6 of the bulbs. It had one in it. Packing I guess. Bob
ps Got new cammera will take pictures of types and with your guideance we will try to post.
