Ok, for those of you that have not signed up this is a fair
warning. As of this morning we have 7 sites remaining at the Corn Roast. We
have 6 new sites remaining around the Raider area that I found. When these are
gone we will only have the two options on the Jet Way available. Approximately
3200 email invitations will be sent out over the weekend. These previously
mentioned sites will be sold very quickly.

I
want to thank everyone for their patience as this has been a little bit of a
process. I assure you that it will run as smoothly as everything always has in
the past. Honestly, this just opens up more choices and none of them are the
wrong choice. The Agenda is going to be fresh and exciting for this event. The Wednesday
fishing/shopping excursionis going to be a lot of fun and memorable experience.
I am also working on a very exciting dinner plan for Friday night. I should be
able to post the details next week!

Ok
I am off to lunch with some friends at CrabFest. Don’t hesitate to call if you
need anything!

The silverleaf is in Texas, and we are in CA and all over Middle TN. As soon as we get back to TX, I will list it. Or, it actually comes included with the House and Barn if ya’ll are interested. No extra up charge for Silverleaf.

Bill,

We do pictures from IPhones and IPads all the time. When posting, don’t you see the really big blue box that says Upload Photo with instructions to the right?

It’s nice to see something other than a Liberty owner picking on a Marathon owner.

Of course any Liberty owner could get the best of both of you together with one hand tied behind his back.

No buddy plug???????? Are you joking? Did your coach come with a generator? What else is missing?

thanks all –

Peter, I’m going to try to add a picture of the controls in the next postIt is a side by side control below the radio area on the dash

1. Webasto works awesome. It was only 45 outside so it ran minimally to keep the coach very comfortable.

2. The Prevost bus air is the real question. Cools but only heated the coach to about 70. – and the air coming out must have been close to that. As I flew down to pick up the bus I don’t have my ir temp reader, so I will know more once I get home.

3. Peter, the webasto light was on at the dash.

4. I will look for the a / valve . I’m assuming if it exists it is off as the driver area at full is maybe 70 degree air….would be a issue if it were really cool

Troy seemed to think it was a Prevost issue and so did Prevost, twice at Goodlettsville and once at Mira Loma.

I’m going to be out of town for a couple of months so I won’t be able to take it to Prevost anytime soon. I’ll try after the first of the year.

Prevost has been wonderful in every other aspect of ownership.

That’s terrific! I’ve never been able to get a 30 degree differential on mine! Maybe 20 if conditions are just right.

In our bus and generator smoke can be an indication of oil burning, usually blue in color, black smoke typically indicates too much fuel for the available air (burning rich), white smoke can be raw fuel, usually only when the motor is cold and has just started, or white smoke can be coolant, typically having the smell of coolant.

Smoke is often used to analyze problems.

Here is my post from last year. Your contact is Allen Nadeau. His email is probably allen.nadeau@volvo.com.

For future reference, spoke with nicolas.gagnonatvolvodotcom who is in charge of the service center in St. Nicolas. Said they:

1) have visitors stay with hook ups at their sevice center where they have plenty of parking/ maneuvering space even with trailers and provide the gate lock code for anytime access.

2) it is located 10 minutes from Quebec City.

3) they do not have regular scheduled factory tours (Allen Nadeau in charge of this), just on demand.

4) the factory is located 35 miles from the service center.

5) they are currently turning out three coaches per day, and this is said to be a busy time.

In case anyone else is going, we are there June 15-19. Then down to Jay Peak, Vermont for a Porsche thing.

Good morning Per and Margrit,

Yes, E-Z Daze is a nice park. I was there about 2 months ago taking the Liberty out of storage and ran it to give it a little exercise (about 30 miles from storage).

Anyway, when you leave there, you may want to consider taking the 385 by-pass to avoid the 240/40 interchange as there is major construction and very tight lanes to maneuver.

When leaving E-Z Daze, head north on the 55 and take 240 East towards Nashville. After you pass the Mt. Moriah exit you will see the 385 by-pass. It will take you to I-40 east and is a good easy drive to get around the major construction that I mentioned.

Safe travels,

Mark

On Edit: There is also heavy construction at exit 20 (Canada Rd.) on I-40 which is east of the 40/240 major construction project, the 385 by-pass will put you even further east on I-40 to Nashville.

Thanks Andy.

I don’t know if there are any differences in our coaches but mine will not display gear selection.

It does everything else just fine.

There may be a little diffenence in that one year.
