    The Tiffin I had previously, a 2005 so built in the quality years, had solid doors. Current rig, Newmar is nice but not the level I expect for something in that price range.

    Thanks for the info. Lots to chew on.

    We had a Foretravel before the Prevost and a 1980 Liberty before that, The Foretravel is a good coach built well But! A Prevost is built like a Tank. My Mom and Dad always had Prevost Bus’s and dad was a great mechanic and his best friends had other motor homes and one had a Eagle bus. Dad always said nothing is built like a Prevost and Stainless last forever. The foretravel was a great rig and the guy I sold it to still loves it. One of the things I missed most when we had the Foretravel was the compartment doors, when the all stainless steal doors close they thump and solid, Everything about a Prevost is built solid. And a bus is built to be a bus and built to service, You can see the engine If you ever had to remove it,It’s made to come out pretty easy, When I installed my Total Vision Camera 7 years ago I ran cables from front bulkhead to rear bulkhead through a 3 inch conduits that run under bus there is at least 3 of those. As far as motor- leveling- air system- trans is pretty much the same nuts and bolts. First thing my wife said when she first rode in the Prevost was how quiet and smooth it is. Nothing Like A BUS built forever!

    I have had the same observation. Almost like the very back of the trailer is in a suction.

    The Wanderlodge guys are super helpful with this kind of stuff, The concensus over there is 8 gallons is required, 7 1/2 in the pan and 1/2 gallon for the filter.

    My OTR was removed many years ago by a previous owner and replaced with three Dometic units. Those units have served the purpose, but I would love to replace them with a mini-split.

    The inverters are in charge mode to charge batteries,when there is AC power either shore or Gen, As for inverter side of inverters it can either be on stand by mode or off, stand by mode is when you loose AC power the inverter goes in to invert mode and supplies what ever is set up to get AC volts from inverter. Any way it is set Pass through should happen off or on.

    Relative to some of the other things i had to do, i would say it was easy. First step is parking the bus with the wheel as straight as you can get it. Pull the horn cover off, Loosen the nut, I took an aluminum bar 3/8″ x 1″ x 3″ long and drilled 2 holes in it to pull the wheel off the shaft. Next I assembled the wheel and hub kit, dropped it over the shaft, put the nut on and torqued it down. All in all it took me maybe 2 hours and 3 cups of coffee. The driving experience is very different now. I have always been a fan of my Brody knob, i don’t think i need it with this smaller wheel.
