Mark,
It may seem like cycling, but ours spins in one direction for a while, pauses and then reverses direction. When the clothes are dry it senses that and turns itself off, but if we do not react and open the door it periodically spins for a short time and then stops again.

Thanks you all. What’s the best replacement for the old Amana? I will be shipping a new unit to ETLC on Monday and headed that way. We intend on taking the bus to JazzFest in New Orleans so I’m gonna need refrigeration.

I agree with you Bill, I have never said otherwise.

I am not nearly as smart as all you guys. But while on my big 15 month trip. We had issues in Kamloops and Peter suggested I go to a shop there. They found that the filler tube for the transmission had rubbed a hole in the turbo intake and tech indicated if I hadn’t found it we would have likely “dusted” the engine as we entered Alaska. I am sure they have already checked it but make sure all the intake pipes look good. ours had a small but growing hole wore right thru the aluminimum pipe… They fixed it at a local shop and all has been good since…

Will it come with your signature? And no, you cannot use a quickie on my Kindle.
I sure hope you meant a Sharpie and not a quickie.

I never meant to imply that color makes a spec. I mentioned the yellow color only because it would contrast with the red tranny oil, both of which flow through the heat exchanger. Both Rotella products, ELC and Ultra ELC meet the Detroit spec.

The fan clutch ot the Prevost is a two speed device. It is either off, low speed ( approximately 1/2 of engine rpm ) and high speed ( full engine rpm). It is controlled by the ECM of the engine.
The fan clutch is powered with 24 volts when you run the engine. The ECM controls the ground circuits for the two speeds through the two relays , R78 and R79. The circuit is a little confusing as the two relays provide gounds to the fan clutch when they are not engaged. Thus when the engine starts and the coolant temperature is low both relays receive ground signals to the relays to pick them up. This in turn removes the ground path for the fan clutch,both high and low speeds.Thus no ground signal from the ECM results in that fan speed to be active. That is why we have you break off the 85 tab on the high or low relay to have that speed on all the time to get you off the road.
Pull the high and low speed relays. Start the engine and see if the fan is still locked in on one of the speeds. If it is then there must be a short to ground on the wire from the relay to the fan clutch itself. If it just free wheels, then there may be an open between the ECM and the relays on either wire 555 (low speed) and 565 (high speed ).
If the engine thermostats are stuck open it may be hard to achieve normal engine temperatures, especially when the external temperature is low. You could try to run the engine with the relays pulled and see if the coolant temperature will go higher than the 180 -195 degree range. That will show that they are generally working. Don’t let the engine overheat and shut down
Fortunately with this problem you won’t overheat and shut down on the road.

The toilet is a RARITAN CROWN HEAD. I don’t see a model number but it says “Centrifugal Discharge Series”.
Luckily they are still in business and I’ll give them a call tomorrow lacking any sage advice here on the Forum.
Thanks guys,
Harry

Iron and a dish towel.

Ditto here on the day trip, by truck from Hollywood — Maps app says 52 minutes but it seems to think there will be no traffic.

Disney, of course!

We know where in Utah on I-70 that photo is taken. If we see that arrangement we’re getting off the road . 4000lbs for the boat plus trailer on the same truck. Eeeeeeek!,

Here is a thread on the K41EA00KS1KV2
https://prevostcommunity.com/forum/threaddetails.asp?Category=&ThreadID=6236
The last three digits “1W2” are for the coil, yours is probably 24v. My Liberty is a Classic, so mine are 12v coils.

I see no reason why a smart charger, properly wired, cannot be left on. In fact, I would assume that is desired. Do we not leave our house battery banks on charge continuously?

One other thought… When you guys travel do you have antifreeze and oil on hand?
