ouch!

Looks like it’s panel delamination 🙁

I think I figured out why only one bank primarily overheated. Thw worst heat came at the point the 24 volt feed from alternator joined the first battery. Damage was less as it traveled down the line.

Hi,
What would be the price of a 56 passenger Prevost Coach Bus?
And which model is most popular for mass transit?

Makes me curious about our bedroom unit, I will have to look at it when we get our bus back from Tradewinds sometime next month. We are having some body work and painting done.
Let us know what you find on a replacement motor, I imagine that Grainger will have one. I bought the two condenser fans that I replaced from Grainger.

I cleaned it up, put it back together, and its purring like a kitten again:)
When the new brushes get here I’ll have spares 🙂

Pretty clean set up Jeff , I’ve replaced all those parts you show but it’s been 6 plus years ago so lately I’ve had more air leaks

Folks,
Keep coming back with your thoughts and opinions. They are greatly appreciated and I will keep in mind what you are saying about IFS and engine type.

Have you done anything with the coolant that could have introduce air into the system? Each circuit in the system can act differently depending on how they are plumbed. For instance, the coach heat exchangers may be above the boiler with no fall on the return. In such a case air would not cause a circulation problem. In the case of the water heater, the fluid may need to go down on the supply side which could be problematic if there is air. Remember, it is very difficult to get air to go down in water.

Good Morning Chuck – THANK YOU for sharing the balloon photos! On the road now, yet will check when get home.
Some good news, the repetitive cycling of only my secondary tank while driving stopped after the second day of driving on this current trip.
Took four days to reach our destination, and days 3 and 4 the tanks held while driving (just like always)
The good news (if it lasts) it that after it stopped, all tanks no longer drain down at the same rate. This is all after your recommendation to replace the secondary tank check valve. We shall see… Thanks again!

Some of us know Matthew Valentine who has developed the LED headlight upgrade for Prevost coaches using the J.W. Speaker engineered LED headlamps. He posted this to Facebook a few weeks ago regarding the Vanner Monitor.
“Before…and After upgrading Vanner Battery Monitor from EM70A to EM70D and adding a 6-space fuse block to properly fuse the 6 combined inputs and outputs. I had to move the Vanner up and over to the right slightly to gain room. Input side (bottom) of the fuse block is labeled properly with heat shrink labels. The curly Q pigtails for the jumpers between the output side (top) of the fuse block to the Vanner isn’t for style points – it is to gain enough usable length to work with because they are so close together. I also lowered my cable clamp but didn’t shorten the overall chassis cable length.”
Our 1999 Liberty XL45 was the test mule for his Speaker LED headlight upgrade and I found him to be a pretty bright guy.
I’ve seen pictures of inline fuses added by maybe the converter, a service facility, or an owner … I think Matthew Vallentine’s approach is much cleaner.

I don’t ever use 2 engines at same time. I have DC DC converters on the engine alternator to charge my power banks then inverters power the 120v loads.
With the solar and big batteries I can last a day comfortably. Couple if I conserve power. The genset charges like 1% a minute so just need to run it a bit

Wow love my 40 and haven’t seen others yet

Have not been on 269 but would take any route that kept me that far away from Memphis! The roads are so bad and the traffic terrible all day long. We just came through Memphis the other day on 40 and I am pretty sure that why we are now sitting in service at Dallas Prevost.
