I never lock my driver’s side slider. As soon as I rig up my emergency opener I’ll lube the right slider and leave unlocked. Considering the size of the window, I think it’s a minimal security risk.

Jim , For me the lack of a Private Head is a deal breaker, sorry I like my Privacy .

Jon,

ON the pressing out of the bushings and pressing in the new ones…… Prevost does not even carry the $2000 tool for this any longer. They just replace the entire control arm…

That was our experience after five hours of work and also trying to get anyone to press the new bushings … WE received the individual boots and after the coach was in the air and the old arms off… we were told of the problem… to Prevost’s credit, they stood by me and made a tremendous concession on the parts ….

The parts are about $3000 regularly for the rebuild from Prevost as I recall…I have a cost chart if anyone wants it…

I do not rush anywhere. I never exceed 65 and most often I am in the 60 to 63 range. If they cannot see this thing, or I cannot see them, it could become an issue.

I remember something I read 35 years ago that stays with me to this day: “I grow old, I grow old. I shall wear the bottom of my trousers rolled”. So be it with this wonderful coach. I am blessed to have it and thankful every day.

Hi Jimmy, Hit some terrible weather and saw a tornado not far off. But the bus was terrific and handled the wind and rain without missing a beat.

Kyle and Tom,

Thank you for the pictures. Looks like the parking lot was full.

Randy: If I understand what you’re saying, there must be a federal statute superceeding state’s rights on this matter. Do you have a statute #?

And you can only go 112 mph. The nerve.

Good post Harry.

So by law in Texas if you drive a vehicle over 26,001 LBS (or in combination truck and Trailer) you must have a CDL (A or B). Texas like many other states has a exempt version of this for Private Motor Coaches, Fire Trucks, Farm Trucks, and Military Vehicles.

You still take the same written exam as a driver apply for a full CDL but you are exempt from the medical. And when doing the driving portion exempt from doing the safety walk around test, backing up, and parallel parking. They just want to know that someone sold you a set of keys to a 45000 LB venicle with Airbrakes and you know what to do and how to drive it.

See attached. My license now says I can drive a fire truck.

Thanks everyone, I think I got the information and perspective I was looking for.

Appreciate the responses.

ha … I have bilateral cochlears since 2009 and know what you mean about hearing every little bit of noise, especially air coming out of ducts!!

Mine are programmable and sometimes I use a setting that filters out ambient noise and focuses more closely …that really cuts down on road noise and makes the cabin quieter. Do you use that?

Quite sure Jon meant 1994-1995.

Dry graphite spray lubricant is more slippery then WD40 or silicone spray, and attracts/ collects residue less.
