Tom I assume that your bay lights are 24V, where did you find the LED replacements, if you don’t mind me asking.

Guys,
I feel your pain. But at least on our cars all the features except for the key fob that you mentioned can very easily be disabled by reading the manual and turning them off. Or I guess you have the option of driving older stuff that doesn’t have that stuff but I agree with Jon it’s not going the other way. Same thing is happening with everything. in my business we buy lots of computers and AV gear… back in the good old days… stuff had buttons to turn them off and on change the channel or audio boards had faders to adjust levels and most worrisome to me when you bought a 5K superpower Mac computer it actually had HDMI outputs… now you get USBc and dongles and all kinds of crap in in the production space would prefer not to deal with… my option suck it up or buy computers that are 3-4 years old…

Bill, get in touch with Steve at IBP Industries as suggested above by Craig. He’s got the parts. We had an unfortunate encounter ourselves this summer and replacement small bumper for the entry door is on order.

Aaaaand… we lost power steering and some tranny fluid. Guess I should take this to the Emergency section.

Tom, I don’t know about that as my Liberty’s have been an 2011 and the current 2016. I have seen older coaches there, but I am not sure just how old they actually were. I never looked that close. Do they just refuse to service older coaches? Just wondering since you mentioned it…..

Ah Mark, the year of your bus gets you that attention in IL, try getting service there with say a 2000.

Ok I’ll bite….What’s the bathroom door method?

I hope we can put enough examples of this type of failure together and that Michelin can determine the cause. I know they do tire failure forensics and have the ability to find failure causes.

Opens correctly if you click on the picture.

Our tires are dated 2014. Prevost changed out the two steer tires under warranty that have a 2015 date code as the previous were ‘out of round’.
Do you see the separation? Or, do you have to pull on it? I’ll go out to the coach early next week for my twice weekly check (flush toilets, etc.).
Thanks,
Mark

Suggestion on cores….call salvage yard accepting metals. You’ll be paid by weight of lead.
Not all metal yards pay the same so it pays to call around.
FWIW

I overlooked manual trans. Both yellow go to del side one on each side of valve. signals air booster for clutch behind dash to operater clutch.. When released….Bottom plug/ check in hole there it might be pressure adjustable. Tried to call but got some music and no ring. Bob PS couldn’t answer question correct because I forgot Manual Trans–Couldn’t see the big picture.

Tim, what are the exhaust brackets for.

That’s mighty nice of him. Hopefully no one needs one but it’s great to know there’s a 365 “in waiting”,

I’ve only owned my coach 1.5 years, but I now have a accumulated a reasonable amount of time/miles towing my 20′ box trailer with the Prevost. Up to Canada, down to Florida, over to Tennessee… Most of the time it has been to go racing. Earlier this year I did a trip down to Marathon in Florida towing my daughter’s GTI in the box. I dropped the trailer off at Marathon while the coach was being worked on and I used the car around Florida. Then I took the son on a Prevost-based college visit tour using the GTI to go from the campground to the college, surrounding area, and back.
All the words of wisdom here regarding towing a trailer I can echo. It took some seriously good (if I do say so myself) planning on where to not only park overnight but also during the day on some campus visits (when there wasn’t an overnight stay related to a school). I found several campgrounds that accommodated my rig (which pushes 65′: 40′ bus + 20′ trailer + trailer neck).
Driving this rig through downtown Lexington, VA and making right turns was… exciting. Frankly, driving the coach many places is a pita. Driving the coach with a trailer just ups the ante even further. Actually motoring down the highway with the trailer is no big deal, however.
I have tested and found I can turn my 40′ XL (with IFS) at max turn and not jack knife the trailer, which is a key piece of information to know. Otherwise, as pointed out, you can curb the trailer super easily if you’re not careful. In some situations it may be almost impossible to avoid doing so without a traffic cop clearing the way for you. (To maneuver in the middle of little Lexington, VA, I needed the luck of no one coming against my right turn in the town…)
I’ve considered grabbing a lightweight open car trailer that is more easily maneuverable by hand as I’m not enthralled with flat towing the car and don’t believe an aluminum open trailer (like a Trailex) would be that much different from a fuel economy perspective. The open trailer would keep the car being towed with less wear and tear. I can’t speak to the turning impact of dragging a big pickup. I can’t believe it would be better than a short open trailer. In my short ownership time, I have enjoyed the flexibilty to tow behind the Prevost whatever fits in my trailer (I admittedly do not know how big a deal it is to set up a car to flat tow).
Right now, without a different rear camera, I need someone on FaceTime or similar to help me connect my 20′ trailer or I’d have a hard time by myself. A small aluminum open trailer one can adjust by hand would alleviate that problem.
I got ~7.3mpg towing the GTI-in-box from NJ to Florida to Tennessee to North Carolina and back to NJ, for reference (40′ XL). I basically always set cruise at the speed limit.
(BTW, Jerry, GREAT looking setup. I’d love to go stacker some day behind my bus…)
