    the product was selected because that is what Liberty would use. In my opinion I. Try to use products that the convertors would use for the most part. This will insure highest trade in value if it was to be traded vs sold out right To me this is better than solid wood in this application for several reasons.

    Mannington is the product.

    If the compressor is running but you are getting no cold air you might want to see if the fan inside the freezer is blowing. Mine fried and I installed a new motor myself a few days later when I could source the part. Mine had a removable back panel in the freezer and you had full access to the coils (frozen solid so I knew the fridge worked) and a quick look at the fan made it obvious that the thing was toast. I bought a compter fan and taped it in place until I could get the right fan but it kept my stuff cold!

    No, When we parked the bus for a few months, I would put bleach in the toilet to stop water rings and the bleach eat up the rubber elbow. If you look down in the toilet you can see the elbow, they was made the same color as the toilet now they are black oniy. The guy at headhunter said they had to change rubber compound to stop that

    I have never had an issue with an insurer using my recent prurchase price as ACV or agreed value.

    But after a year or two you have to decide if you want one or another. I have gone with agreed value coverage and that requires an appraisal from someone acceptable to the insurance company. Usually an appraiser has to have expertise with Prevost coaches. You have to make the appraiser aware of what you think the coach is worth and why. For example if you recently spent a lot of money on upgrades to make the coach more valuable than average you need to document that.

    The flip side of the coin is if you are opposed to paying a high premium and want to understate its value from average because it is damaged, in poor condition, or needs work you need to make that information available to an appraiser also. The down side to understating value is a slight fender bender will cost more to repair than the coach’s appraised value so the insurance company is likely to issue a check for the value and take your coach. It will be a take it or leave it situation because if you don’t think that is fair you have a problem trying to convince them to not “total” the coach.

    BTW, all of this applies to any coach, regardless of its age. Keep in mind if your coach is in well above average condition and has greater than average value you really need an agreed value policy.

    Thanks, I have a Prevost store in Fort Worth. I’m about 300 miles south of there. I thought it was another company. I will try Prevost.
