    Is anyone worried about the new insulation being fire proof in case of a fire in the generator bay?

    This is a shot of our front door. You can barely see the line between the fallen snow and the snow clouds scheduled to let loose again in a few hours. As the winter and wind progresses, there will be drifts off the roof that meet up with the snow on the ground. If we don’t knock the snow off the roof, we are completely closed in and shut off from the outside world.

    Jon is right. The other thing we have to do regularly is to clean the snow and ice off the DirecTV dish.

    For the second year in a row, I’m getting a late start down South. The goal is to spend Thanksgiving in Florida from now on. We have lots of family down south near our Aztec lot, all Buffalo transplants. Mmmm???? I wonder why. In fact, we have more Buffalo family down south, but my mother is still here. Hence the delay.

    It opened and closed fine, but without the stop, you run the risk of damage to the two hinge mounting plates if the door is forced open too far.

    We are at TGO (The Great Outdoors) near Titusville. So far everything here is fine. Rain bands and some wind. The bad part of the storm will hit us in the early AM. Will post later when the worst of the storm has passed, as long as we have some internet connection.

    Silly question then: how does everyone else do this? Wider driveways? Wider main roads?

    The “commisaries” lead to all sorts of “bright ideas” in Colorado. The upside is…if you shop there regularly….you don’t give a damn. Geo.

    September 21, 2016 at 10:05 pm in reply to: Using Jake Brake in traffic

    I might be the exception on this, and i have no proof of this theory. Which is why I’m looking at the forum nightly and always learning. I always leave my exhaust brake on high all the time….with one exception. And that is in stop and go traffic in town. To me, and this could very well just be me being a little OCD, but it seems that with the exhaust brake on high in stop and go traffic it adds a little stress to the driveline when I let off the accelerator. We’re talking non highway speeds here. Think Orlando downtown I-4 traffic…so I generally turn it off or to the low position and leave plenty of room between myself and the vehicle in front of me. Like I said, could be something I’ve fabricated in my head. But the drivetrain seems to be a little less jerky with it off in those conditions. Welcome to any opinions or experiences to sway my thoughts.

    The Crestron updates should show up in the apple store like any other application you purchased. There have been a few.

    I replied to John on Facebook and told him he would have to remove the foam underneath to see the hose and clamps. If it’s the clamp, we hope, no big deal, but if the hose has to be replaced, both tanks will have to be drained.

    Good advice from Jerry, also keep in mind, as you lower the charge AC voltage you should increase the charge time for Absorption.

    Every time you press your air brakes and release them, or pump them, that same amount of air pressure is exhausted out of your air tanks/lines etc. The compressor cannot keep up after repeated pumping. So, as long as your foot is pressing the brakes, that air will not be lost (unless you have a leak) until you release the brakes.

    Most of us ole Truckers are used to a “Brake application guage” which shows how much air pressure you are applying to the brakes each time you press the brakes. I haven’t seen one of those in a Prevost.

    Just trying to explain the mechanics of it, so some will undersstand why Jon and Dick are right!

    For the entrepreneurial type among us, we need to develop a system that would be equivalent to shooting an IR gun at our heat risks real time with a display on the dash. Pressure pro has the tire covered, but we need hub and brake yet.

    Peter: How far from Jeff’s were you?

    Do you use Pressure Pro with tire temp indicators? Would the heat from the stuck caliper have shown up on the Pressure Pro?

    Tom: Would it?
