Tom,
Are you referring to just new compression fittings for the airbags or did you replace other compression fittings?
-
A lot of good points have been made. I just want to make a point for something that is unique to Prevost, although certainly not all Prevost conversion have the feature, and that is the OTR system. There is no other conventional/production motorhome with this feature.

Dump Truk is trying desperately to make new friends he bribes with PC goodies to attempt to get people who will come to his aid when more illegal holding tank dumping events take place and are reported here.
Does this ED guy need a doctor’s prescription for his “donuts”? Usually people don’t post their medical conditions on a public forum. If the “donuts” last more than 4 hours does he need to contact his physician?

Well put Kevin, no going back to production fiberglass.

See Ron, I told you these guys know their stuff. Even I listen to em and according to my wife I don’t listen to anybody. But she drinks a lot and I can say that because she doesn’t read my posts. 🙂Everyone agrees there is no bad converter out there but most everyone tends to have a favorite like Liberty or Marathon etc. As you zero in on your selection those who have that converter will fill you in with specifics concerning that specific converter and you’ll find that interesting. Each one has one or two things that make it unique from the others.
So sit back, put your feet up and enjoy the education. I think you’ll enjoy the experience and it’s good to have you on board.

Tom,
The temp compensated voltage is 26.8, and the battery that has the high temp has two temperature sensors
on the end that has the high temp. My inverters are set to the Trace reccomended settings. Just wanted to
make sure the battery is not starting to have a problem or is not being damaged by charge rate.
Should I put all the partitions back or has someone come up with a better solution for air flow and access?
Can I make the partitions out of something besides one inch plywood to save a little weight? My partition has
a four inch round connection to a vent in the bay door. Is that enough air flow? My battery bay also has the
bedroom cruise air unit, the gen battery, and backs up to the generator fan and blower in the middle of the coach.
The middle of the bay does have a screened in cut out section in the front that should provide air too.
Thanks,

That is tenatively Claw Fest…dates will likely change…waiting on Truk

pulled into Riverside in brownwood and was very happy. I’m always sceptical when placs say they can accommodate 70+ feet of dog and pony show (45′ coach + 29′ of trailer). We not only have room for that but also a vehicle it. Right on the pecan bayou…very nice place. Could only get it for a couple nights though. Will need to find something else and then come back.

Harry is making us all aware of the things that can end well or get real bad, real fast.
The only people who have never had a close call or who never had to get themselves out of trouble are either failing to admit it, or who haven’t driven much.
Having said that however we all should keep in mind when everything starts to turn bad, stop, take a deep breath and think of the assets we have available to us. We have a coach with features we can use to give a bad situation a good outcome. If we get stuck we can lift the tag axle to give more traction to the drive axle. We can raise the coach using level low to get off something our belly is resting on. If we need to we can lower the air pressure in our tires or increase it temporarily because we can re-inflate them if we have a fitting and air hose.
If we lose an alternator we often have a battery charger and a way to power it with our generator or inverters. Sometimes we can merge the house and chassis battery systems to nurse sick batteries until we can replace them.
If we lose our coach AC we can keep comfortable using the roof or Cruiseairs. If we start to overheat due to low coolant we have a lot of water available to keep the system topped off. If we lose a tire we can move tires from another spot to the tag and put good tires on the other axles. Even if the tire on the tag is the wrong size it will get us where we need to go.
If we get into a problem we have a very active forum and posting a problem usually brings a lot of answers quickly. All we have to do is sort through various answers to find which one applies. If we need help instantly we have support from Prevost, Detroit Diesel, and the converters.
We have a map with locations of people willing to help, but even if folks are not on the map, a shout out on the forum usually brings out offers of help.

I have no doubt Linda will seek out that other Prevost and make sure they are PC members.:)

John, I visited the link for the state park, seems all sites are 40ft long…do you have any problem with 45ft bus? any site # recomendations….Thanks Victor

Just to be sure my comments were understood, when Prevost went from the 8V92 to the Series 60 they started with the 45 foot coach just introduced for motorhome conversions and they could use the 5 speed Allison typically used with the 8V92 because the rear overhang was longer and the combination length of the Series 60 and the 5 speed would fit.
They had to delay the use of the Series 60 in 40 foot coaches until the shorter six speed transmission was available. The tag axle configuration changed somewhere around that time also because the original axle design was not compatible with the engine/transmission combination length.
So swapping engines of the same type is no big deal, but it gets complex if the coach was not set up for the new engine being installed and a lot has to change to handle a different engine.

Hi all
The only reason I want to go to tecoma is to get ready of headhunter feature the you have to use the pump in order to flush. If the pump is out you are S.O.L unless you plumb another inline high pressure pump. My water bay is full there is no way to add anything.
On our old 04 XL2 I DID NOT HAVE TO EVER USE A PUMP UNLESS DRYCAMPING….always used city water to flush toilet and wash my hand and take shower. Not in a GREAT LIBERTY. That is way Tecoma toilet and Shourflo pump.
I believe that Liberty never HAVE and never will use the KISS METHOD. I like many features but!!!!!! -
Dollars to doughnuts says that the cable is RG-58. It’s nearly unusable above 100MHZ. At cell phone frequencies, the loss is greater than 20db making it nearly useless.
Not just theory here – I did exactly the same thing on my coach and my cellular booster has never worked at all. I knew better when I installed it into the crappy coax, and kept going just to “see” what it would do. It was a waste of a day’s work.
Here’s a coax chart that you might find useful: http://www.w4rp.com/ref/coax.html
