I was thinking of the upper ball joints. Now I know what you mean.

[Bob]

I think I missed a true experience!! I was a little gun shy of the glitz. That said. Next time get ready! I met Jon the week before and he does present a more balance attitude —-any more said there would be past history. I though ya all wore suits and ties 24-7. LOL. Congrats on good fellowship!! Bob

I want to echo what Tom said above.

This was our first Prevost Community rally so we had to do some on the job training and Tom and I both know we need your input regarding where to go for the next one, when to hold it, what worked on this rally and what we should change.

If something could have been improved, let us know. Let us know all of your thoughts on how many seminars, their content, entertainment, meals, and even the size of the rally. Di and I have been to rallies with as few as several coaches and as many as 200. While the large rallies have some significant benefits to owners due to the quality of the support we can bring to a rally from Prevost, converters, and dealers, the downside of larger rallies is the difficulty of getting to know and enjoy new friends such as at this rally. Smaller rallies enable all of us to know one another, larger rallies make that very difficult.

The logisitics of moving rally goers to different venues becomes more difficult as rallies increase in the number of attendees, and this rally was perfect in the respect we had one bus that we could use for all activities so no one had to worry about driving.

Seminars with more people than we had have to be more formal with less participation from owners just due to time contraints. But larger groups can justify bringing in experts from Detroit Diesel, Michelin, etc. We would also see a broader range of show coaches.

Please post your thoughts. Location, what time of the year, content, meals, entertainment, activities for those not attending seminars, seminar content, and even limits on cost if that is a factor.

I don’t if this what you need or not but all the 21 number thru 21P are for the left side turning signals and cornering lights 21 B is the hazard

23 is for the right hand side 23 thru 23 P same as the left side that is on a 96 model I don’t think any wiring diagrams changed in 2 years

good luck

[Bob]

All wires are numbered —printed on wires. the clearance and side turn indicatores will be ### in the low 20’s 21 thru 23 with a Letter after them. You shouldn’t get close to them they are run close above curve of ceiling.All red wires are 24 volt. the # on wires are volt first(24 or 12) the circuit (23 clearance light) the wire size. example 12-23-16 would be 12 volt clearance lights 16 guage. FWIW Bob

[Bob]

Just start cutting. Not much wiring good to use in future there anyway for conversion. I removed roof inner sheets also. There is foam shot in but no thermal break over ribs. A 1/2 foam board under your ceiling material will give you super insulation. The roof is where you gain and loose most of your heat and cooiling. Plus you can locate ribs to attach your wall frameing to. Self tapping drill screws are good there. also can run some overhead conduit. FWIW Bob

This type of failure would concern me. Coolant is supposed to prevent rust and corrosion because of it’s additives which deplete in use; hence the requirements to change/check coolant every 2-6 years depending on type. If that filter rusted from the inside out, what does the rest of the interior of your cooling system look like? Has this coach been maintained?

“Blank” filters contain filter media but do not contain additional coolant additives which are recommended only for certain coolant types.

[Bob]

Well, It’s a done deal. We bought the 96 Country Coach at Parliament. We are sitting in their campground checking everything out. Just working thru any issues that we may have and plan to be here until we are comfortable with everything.

Thanks to everyone who got us to this point.

[Bob]

Thanks Jon,

I listened to the webinar today and it cleared up a bunch of confusion I had with regard to the level low system. We are on day 3 now and the coach is still aired up and staying level…wonderful. Now if I can just figure out why the electric element on my aqua hot isn’t heating that well all would be good. I was hoping not to winterize the coach and simply keep it plugged in with the aqua hot going till we leave in December but I’m having second thoughts about that. The diesel burner is fine but on my old coach I could plug in to 30 amp and the electric would keep the coach at 50 degrees till we left.

Oh well, I can learn how to blow it all out now so I know how to do it in the future.

[Bob]

I too am glad the fuse information was posted. Good to keep in mind. Wouldn’t count on the fuse blowing as a reliable indicator of a sub-par battery, however. My gen battery went south as well, wouldn’t turn over but a few revs at first, then the solenoid would click but not engage, then nothing. Changed the battery out, starts again, no fuse involved.

[Bob]

Nice,you can tell that is not a Proud or a POG rally to many red solo cups lol good job guys enjoy

Jim, after spending several thousand buckaroos at Prevost and at 2 different locations mine still will leak down but takes several days. This is after replacing valves, parts and pieces, air bags and who knows what else and several overnight stays were they (techs) had it days at a time working on this perticular problem. I applaud you in trying your fix. Somebody told me to find all leaks was to drive it in the lake and look for bubbles.

[Bob]

I have seen some Prevost converters put both the inverter output cable AND the transfer switch output cable (the common “shore/gen” feed wire to the load center) through the same current “donut” before, which would account for the “summation” or doubling of the actual load current, if that IS in fact what Liberty or someone else did on your coach. I was thinking that Liberty put the current transformers (donuts) in the automatic transfer switch enclosure though. Jon, do you recollect where they are?

The Headhunter Puffer PT-102 accumulator tank had lost it’s 18 psi precharge. Recharged it and now life is good. Perfect flush every time. Thanks to everyone for suggestions/comments. What a great resource we have in P.C.!
