JON: I believe the Balmar regulator does have temperature sensing.

Dan, a couple of things standout to me.
1) When the max weights are added up on your metal placard next to the driver seat they equal 48,000 lbs, not 45,000 GVWR which is undoubtedly on the placard?????? What’s up with that somebody? Like yours, when I add up the max weights on my placard the total is 47,000 lbs, but mine placard also reads 45,000 lbs GVWR.? I have another official Prevost document that states that the GVWR for my specific bus, S-5665, is 47,000 Lbs? Do Canadians not know how to do math in English? Is this French math? 😉2) Your tag axle is severely over weight. This is probably caused by improper ride height adjustment. I believe the ride height on your bus should be 11.25″, give or take .25″, between all drive and steer axle air bag upper and lower mounting plates. If the rear ride heights(2 ride ht valves)are set to low, or the steer axle ride height valve is set too high, the tag axle will get extra load. When you had it weighed, and became apparent that something was not right, what attempt was made to remedy the situation?

I had an intermittent oil temp gauge. Marathon Oregon found it was not the sensor but the ground on the gauge. It works fine now. Oil temp and water temp now track each other well. Now if I could get my intermittent ABS to work I would be out of the “red light” business.

I have found a replacement inverter/charger that should be identical or close to what I have. Its being tested before being sent to me. I needed to use the coach at Road America this weekend and needed the refrigerator before I’d have the replacement in hand.
Jeff Rowe talked me through how to bypass the failed inverter so that the circuit the refrigerator was on would have power from either shore power or the generator. Was pretty easy. Worked great without smoke, fire, melted insulation, breakers tripping, or relays continuously snapping!
I’ll post some pictures of what I did in a separate thread when I get caught up with some other projects.

We’ve hit a few delays today and won’t arrive until later this evening. I’d estimate between 8pm and 9pm. Is that going to be a problem at the parking area?

Dave, At sign in right click on the little magnifying glass and click on the save password. That should do it!
Hey guys, what about the “Subscribe”? Will the web person get that working? That is a very simple thing to do… We should be subscribed automatically to any thread we originate, any thread we post too and any thread where we’ve clicked the “Subscribe” button! It does not work on my iPhone, iPad or Mac laptop!
One other thing… When we’ve added to a thread or edited one of our posts. Right now when you’ve saved your work, you’re bounced back up to the very first post made to the thread. It would be much better if we went back to the post we were editing.
Some threads get pretty long and this would keep us from a lot of scrolling. When you think about it, if you’re on a thread and you’re making post number 35. When you save it why would you want to go up to post number one?
User friendly always helps!!!
Thanks guys,
Harry

Humbled again due to operator error. I inadvertently had changed the inverter setting to search on the second inverter. Thus it was continually searching and flashing the circuit on and off when not on gen or plugged in. Reset to on and all problems resolved. Thanks for the input.

Checked earlier…It’s fixed. I should have indicated that it was fixed on my “Thank You” post above.
I’ll going to go to my room now…and have a frosty beverage!

Folks, please step back and take a deep breath. We did not make changes to the site to make it harder to use or to irritate folks. We wanted to keep the things that work and add some better things like easier ways to add photos, spell check, etc.
We also want to make sure the people paying for Prevost Community to exist to get the exposure they deserve. That alone may be considered an inconvenience but since Tom and I probably are on this site more than anyone every day it is an inconvenience we are happy to tolerate.
We take your comments to heart. Since we first started testing this new site has been massaged as well as we could but until we have our almost 3200 testers at work we can’t get a true sense of how things are going to work for vast majority. Now we are seeing how things work in real life and we know we still have work to do. A whole lot of fixes have already been made and our two web gurus are still working to address the comments. That is something made very difficult because there are now so many platforms and browsers it becomes a real juggling act to address a serious issue with iphones for example, while not screwing up how the site is viewed or works on a laptop.
We are NOT going to change our business model of having PC as a free site. We want as many people visiting and enjoying and using this site as possible and if we charged for it just so ads would not have to be viewed we would lose a lot of the participants we have today and Tom and I are not going to go around chasing people for dues money. There is already a paid site and we would be happy to compare the wealth of information here to it and any other site.
Since in some instances the responses have been a little harsh on this thread I am closing this thread and still encouraging your comments for improvements, but all I ask is that in the new thread people be nice.

Doral,
It’s in my second bay, where all my electrical compartments are located. You remove the 6 or so screws to gain access. The relays on the right can be removed via a small metal pin, and one of the relays is an “Aux Reset”, just in case you’re having trouble with your Aux Reset inside your bus at your A/C / D/C service panel.

Newmar, and Foretravel are equipping their coaches with 365’s too

Thanks Prevost Service (whom you will all meet at our seminar next month). Anyone with the early series 60 coaches with the 5 speed transmission should copy this because it may be very helpful

Good call Mike, thanks.

Not sure about the odometer Victor, you can call them, their phone support is excellent.

Ron,
CruiseAirs can be run by shore power, generator power, or on inverters. Marathon typical setup can run two CruiseAirs on inverters.
Another thing about OTR AC; If you run the ACs on generator, the generator will shut off about when you show 1/4 tank of fuel. This is to avoid the generator to use up all the fuel so you won’t end up stranded. OTR AC will run as long as the engine runs. We have gone to 1/8 tank at times, which would have shut off the generator (BTW, it’s hard to start if you run it out of fuel–ask me how I know!), but we could keep going to the fuel stop we wanted and still have AC.
