Davy – Thank you for clearifying the downside of towing a big ole Hummer locked up! Hope he’s not holding any pictures on ya….

The passenger side was replaced in 2001 and still looks great, but the drivers has fogged up in the last year. Rest of the double insulated windows look great.

I don’t understand why just the drivers window. I am going to check with a local glass shop.

I thought only use Prevost, but if yours did not last I may go local. I thought about only single glass but hate to loose the insulation.

[Bob]

Hey Roger, if it is cold enough outside, 45 or below, you might have to preheat the thing. Should have a button above the steering wheel or where ever the switch to turn on the Webasto and turn on the central heat or interior heat exchangers is. They get real funny about starting for the first time when its cold outside. Once started they seem to work fine on through the night.

Good Luck

Here are the 82 lights I started out with…

Once I am done getting all lights replaced, I will need to make another order and get some spares to have with us.

I think the lights in the picture cost around $2500 after discount. I went the refurbishing of the lenses route instead of buying new lenses. Saved a good amount there and using some plastic/lexan polish, they really cleaned up nice and look almost new again.

The side marker/turn and tail light lenses are hard to find replacements for. The cargo lights were easy since Tom pointed out where to buy them. Figured I would try polish first before spending the money on all new lenses though.

Thanks for the information on the website. I will get my numbers and plug them in. That is a really cool feature from Prevost. Nice to be able to track your own bus setup online.

Well it is a balmy 14 degrees today. Went out to the bus and looked at it’s position more closely after reading some of the posts here. It is stored indoors and plugged in to shore power. The storage unit is about 30 degrees inside.

The back mud flaps are not touching the ground but the front one’s are touching so I am now inclined to believe I have a leak up front which sounds more normal than what I initially described.

You guys are a great resource. Amazing information. I think I will sell my house and move the family into the bus full time. That is how much we love it for the little amount of time we have used it since Old Man Winter has kicked into high gear.

[Bob]

Leaks–can be a bit of a challange.. If you are mechanical inclined and can understand the basic system you can make it better to near really good.. Or you can throw money at it and get the same results.. Lots of hands on experience here. Big Welcome! Bob

What’s the silver cylinder looking thing on top of the engine? I’ve never seen that before.

[Bob]

Horse power burns fuel , torque moves the load . I have had cat motors at 410 hp 1450 torque and moved it to 500 hp to 1650 burned more fuel went back to 430 hp and 1650 torque it was the best , if I had to have a choice it would be more torque not hp. I now have 40 footer at 475 it has all the power you need and can stop it I cris cross the us and Canada six or seven times a year pulling a trailer never a problem going up or down try the hill going south of Vegas on I -15 towards LA

Tom just bought my last toilet brush. I can go home now.

[Bob]

you might try the circle cg campground in mass. Its right on the mass. ri. border and the folks there are very helpful

“Ken,

My old Eagle didn’t have cruise control!!!”

That’s what I was trying to say, but should have been more clear “Jon, he’s probably talking about a mechancial 6V92″

Robert I understood what were you talking about. I had 45′ Eagle with a mechanical 6V92 (no cruise) and 5 speed manual transmission, it was slow, a chore to drive.

I was checking out Penske’s Newell I see it has a Detroit D15 650 hp engine and not the standard Cummins ISX, @11,883 miles the Glass Dash is showing 7.9 mpg not to shabby for that heavy coach to bad everyone buying a bus or Newell cannot buy that engine

[Bob]

You have just taught me something. I have never seen or heard of a Cruiseair with two evaporators.

[Bob]

Well said Jon.

If your primary concern was passing everybody on the highway, you wouldn’t buy a 25 ton anything.

I doubt you’ll find any Prevost converter, or RV manufacturer, focusing their sales pitch on how fast their particular product goes down the road.

[Bob]

All of my coaches had intercoms from the BR to the driver, one had an intercom next to the toilet.

The next time I use one will be my first. Have her call you on your cell phone.
