Bill polishes my coach, just because it is a Liberty. He is a great guy.

Is that Depends as in adult diapers or describing an undetermined decision ??????

Does anyone know if DirecTV does this or something similar? Thanks!

Maybe I’m just lucky but I have automatic Zip Dee awning and it works flawlessly … 2004 CC XLII
I love it does just what it is supposed to do all of the time.Maybe my time is coming but for now I’ll keep it. -
I am not going to post what I did for the world to see. I will show anyone interested that is going to be places I will be at. Right now I am planning on the two Lakeland Carlisle events, both November and February, as well as the Oysterfest at Bella Terra in April.
I can say I can unlatch the entry door without the use of tools. If I am inside when the coach door latch fails I just use the feature I added. If I am outside and need to enter the coach, I have to open the driver’s side door on my XLII, turn on the key, push the button on the dash to make the entry door window go down so I can reach my door latch release.

No, it hasn’t happened to me and I have locked the door on occasion. I vote option #2; you might even find the bolt will push back without being cut off.

Did Prevost Nashville have any idea why it didn’t work after all that work?
Jeff worked on my mine OTR/bus air twice (both times while the coach was at his shop for other reasons). Improved things a little bit, any things he put on where necessary as they weren’t working right. Finally concluded “the compressor was shot”. Ordered out a rebuilt, upon disassembly of the original discovered that four of the I think 12 reed valves where broken. IMHO key to fixing OTR is hvaing a knowledgeable technician who is also an ace diagnostician. You will find that guy in Vonore.
At the same time, you’ve paid good money to Prevost to fix it and it still doesn’t work. Its my understanding that Prevost stands behind its work. I would pester them first.
When you went to Nashville from Datyon, didn’t you drive past Knoxville?

Tom
the last paragraph, on the link you gave, may be the solution. I’ll find out if the capacitor is at fault when I get home.“The later digital mileage VDO speedos can certainly develop anomalies. Most often a replacement is less frustrating and cheaper than attempted repairs. However, VDO will check it out for you for free if you indicate that you will be purchasing another if it turns out bad. If they find nothing, then take the time to locate the little capacitor behind the speedometer. It is very small and hidden in a wire shroud. This capacitor can become defective and will have the speedo give bizarre readings. Replace it, it only costs a few dollars”

We did pull in late on the 29th and in # 106 for a few days

This is of great concern to me, especially if you have pets.
Before anyone assumes the AC units will continue running if the coach has a power outage I would urge you to set your coach up with the AC running, and auto-start or shore power interrupt selected.
Then turn off the shore power. I suspect your AC units are likely to shut down, and when the generator restarts or shore power is restored I do not believe the AC units will automatically restart with the probability it is going to get very hot inside the coach likely.
Please verify how you coach will perform before you make an assumption that can have serious consequences if you are wrong.

I was up in Duluth over the weekend for the race and can say it was “warm” for Duluth.
-
The breaker on the gen is a 70 amp breaker, so if it tripped and you are plugged into shore power without a problem, I would assume the issue is with the gen….This could be as simple as a weak breaker on the gen. I would think that when you are ready you could run the gen, however pulling the cover and checking the connections etc on the breaker would be a good first step…

What kind of tires do you have on the toad? How much tread is left? You should have a tread depth gauge, they are available at any auto parts store.
-
The brake linings will smell when they get hot too, and it is distinctly different than the smell of a tire. You could probably smell a problem if there’s one to be found immediately after driving the bus and using the brakes for a little while. The wheels may also be hot to the touch.
If the brakes are always dragging or applying too much, you might notice that the tread blocks are wearing into a saw-tooth pattern. Sometimes you have to feel that by rubbing your hand along the tire in both directions because it can’t be seen. If they are locking up, you will have localized flat spots. I think they would have to be locking up and putting on a smoke show to make the car drive with that thump you describe.

Al, so sorry to hear you and your family are in our prayers and thoughts.
