The Black Hills, near Rapid City, SD, is a great spot to vacation with
kids/teens as long as you’re not in the area during the Sturgis M/C rally. The official Sturgis rally dates for 2014
are August 4-10, but the area begins filling up the week before.If you like Christian Rock music, the Hills Alive music festival will be held at Main Street
Square on Friday, July 19, and in Memorial Park on July 20 & 21 in Rapid
City. This event is free for all, great
music, and good family fun.The main roads through Bad Lands NP are easily
suitable for a bus/RV. Custer State
Park is a must see just for the wildlife; but don’t drive your bus/RV on the Needles Highway or the Iron Mountain road. These are extremely scenic drives, but a bus
won’t fit. I have seen tour buses,
(seated buses), on the Needles Highway, but there is absolutely no room for
error. Bus/RV parking is available at
Mt Rushmore. -

Mike and Jon: Thanks for the information and insight. Dick

We’re going to the Las Vegas motorcoach resort for a week. That will give me a chance to think about all of our options. Maybe I’ll get a chance to chat with a few RV owner’s of all brands. If any of you are going to be there, please let me know!
Everyone have a nice weekend!

There are relatively few 40 foot coaches with the Series 60. Initially the Series 60 had to be in a 45 foot coach because the combination of the S-60 and the 5 speed Allison was too long for the space available on the 40 footer. The 6 speed Allison with its shorter length made the S-60 possible in the 40 footer.
Ditto on the anemic 8v92 which needs the turbo spooled up before it can develop any power to speak of. But once it can get up to about 1500 it comes alive and is a good performer. It is just the nature of the engine.

If you come to the Rally early or stay late, you will have to make those arrangements direct with LazyDays. Tell them you’re there for the PC Rally and the rate you will pay for the extra day’s will be $50.99 per night.

Looks great Rick. Well worth the effort.

Corey,
I had a local glass professional replace my upper door window with laminated glass he cut to shape. It took him about an hour to cut out the fogged, etched insulated glass and replace it with the piece he made. $85 YMMV
Prevost has a replacement insulated piece that I believe runs about $900.
Suncoast declined to work on it saying they might break the glass removing it. They’re not too keen to work on Prevosts.
HTH
BTW, if you need a screen for a canopy window in the door, I had some made. $80 + shipping.

A friend’s church was hit in Washington, Illinois Sunday morning during church. I had my tent set up in that grassy area the week of July 4th. Thankfully nobody in the church was hurt severely.

Thanks Jon and Tom, This is my first time in a forum but i know i like this. I cant spell and i have a hard time saying things in text but this site is wonderful for me. My dad bought this Liberty new and he told me that if anything went wrong all he had to do was call them and they would take care of it. Well i have called bill and troy 3 or 4 times each and they do tell me whats the problem and how to fix it. There is alot to learn about on this type of coach and most of the things i have done are on here. I guess i still have 6 months of work at 2 or 3 hours a day before it will be road ready.

This Dell dropped the word GO in my post and edit will not let me in lol

Jon, I will run the tests you suggested and be back in a day or so. I know with the master switch in the ride position it drops, I just dont know how fast (whether it is a slow leak or the tag dumping), I will set it up and measure it multiple times over several hours.
In paragraphs one, two and three of your note your comments are correct and I understand the functions. Thanks
