The last 2 Prevost coaches(2013 & 2014),we owned, with the Volvo engine have 3 oil filters one of which is a bypass

Thanks to everyone for all the help.
I wanted to give a little more info for anyone that might have this problem in the future. My problem was with the wireless remote control of TV lift. The controller had tried to close the lift when it was already closed. It burned up the start capacitor on the motors and one of the relays got stuck. The relays on an 03 Royale are located above the entry door behind the 12 v panel.

While I am sure they do a fantastic job, they are driling holes for snaps in the coach. And you will be up a ladder to reach the upper snaps. I very much prefer the Magna Shade approach allowing me to stand on the ground and they do a fantastic job also.
As one of my favorite RV friends said, “Do what makes you happy”.

Tom,
You and all other card carring NAPA- AITA PC members are usually getting a very competitive price on most items purchased with the NAPA-AITA card. Line code for all filters is “FIL” so any filter purchased under this code and under the NAPA-AITA program is a rebate-able though this national program levels. This gives the NAPA dealer cash credits when he reaches dollar sales levels. Your dealer has made the decision to not be involved in this national program.
IMHO he has made a mistake in handling your purchase this way. And here is the BUT…You must be a good customer and he wants you to buy from him. As a regular customer he believes he’ll make more sales thus continuing your relationship with his NAPA store.

You can hear and feel the fan running if you have a remote radiator set up like mine has. Mine actually have 2 fans and the tech took one out and I wish he hadn’t done it. Also make sure you don’t have a breaker popped as I have a gen fan breaker in my electric panel inside.

Yes, you’ll need FMCA to use tire program. I’ve been a member over 15 years have attended several rallies which were close to our home.
Very reasonable fees for events. Many vendors there with there goods on display. At one recently Blue OX had a signup sheet first come first serve to inspect, do minor repairs, replace worn shims on my tow bar. Replacement of all plastic shims, cleaned torque ball I found, cost was $350 show special.
Good articles in monthly magazine. Once a year they include a list of vendors, manufactures, repair centers which has been helpful in the past.
I’ll continue membership.

Roadmaster and M & G. I like the ability of running the safety cables through the internal channel of the towbar making a neater look.

Thanks to Coloradobus for the guidance in registering for this event.
Have done amateur astronomy for some time and have several telescopes which I plan to bring on this our inaugural 3 month trip with our bus. As it will by definition be around time of the new moon should have dark skies available at night. Has anyone inquired about having the school turn off their parking lot and other outdoor lighting, if not for the whole time at least for some selected periods? Would be a shame to be in a 6000 foot elevation dark sky location at new moon sitting under street lights.
Forgive me for being so bold to ask, not making demands, just floating an idea.

Mike, as you have probably learned there are an ample number of opinions here. What you should understand however is none of ours counts regarding your question because we all use our coaches differently.
Having said that, over the years I have seen coaches modified to accomodate kids, pets and mothers in law. The one common characteristic is none were originally built with the modification and the modification could be removed and the coach restored to its original configuaration. So if you do find the coach that fits your needs and which can be modified try to have it such that restoration will be easy.
One thing that seems to be emerging is the market seems to shift toward a younger demographic. No question when you go to a rally there are going to be a bunch of old folks like Tom, but there appears to also be couples with young children who need accommodations for them in the form of bunks. There also has been at least one coach with a bay dedicated to the kids, including provisions for sleeping as well as heat and air, and provisions for watching movies or games or internet access.

Jerry, I don’t see any adjustment. Am I missing something.?

I agree with Jon, waste of money, plus the condensation caused by them is hard on the rim shine.

Tom,
Thank you for letting me join your community. As a distributor for PressurePro basically since their inception, we generally have a good amount of technical information and can be of help as needed. I welcome any and all questions and if I don’t have the answer to a question I can usually get one fairly quickly.
I look forward to hearing from the members regarding their PressurePro experiences and suggestions.

Dan, until you have had the opportunity to have 5 more feet you will not appreciate how the personality of the coach will change. We had our 40 footer for 15 years and never considered a larger coach. Ever.
Then when we had the fire in that coach and bought a non-slide 45 footer we were in awe of the extra room. For a single person I am sure 40 feet is ample, but my wife would never ever allow me to give up some of the features that extra 5 feet provide. Slides are also nice, but with slides you get more room to move around, but at the expense of storage.

Michael,
Electrical failures of that nature usually don’t provide clues regarding where to look so the best course of action when there is a failure is to use a multi-tester and check for voltage or continuity.
Prevost has excellent wiring diagrams on their web site that can be used to assist.

Thanks to Jeff’s support, Jon and Buddy are on their way to pick up the coach. When someone is in trouble, the PC members pull out all the stops to help, kinda makes you proud.
