Jon,

It’s fun to see photos of how people do different projects, thanks for posting.

A couple of things caught my eye;

First, I have found even some (very few) new ball valves leak, so be sure to check them before hooking up the lines. I put small balloons on them to see if they inflate.

Second, you’ll probably have another bus found by the time you switch to compression fittings. 🙂

Gawrsh. I am really grateful for this advice. Thanks, everyone.

I feel that I have a sense of what to take into consideration now. First, I will read the inverter manual. Again. 🙂

Re the batteries, I put new house batteries in 8 months ago and they have been kept constantly charged, at 13.3. They always go right to 12.6 upon disconnecting from shore power. So they seem OK. But I guess the only way to know for sure is to get the test equipment out, right?

Thank you for that whole “big picture,” Jon, about what might happen if power goes out or one of the batteries goes bad. And thank you, everybody else, for all those other nuggets.

It is comforting to hear that another person has stored a coach successfully.

Many thanks again,

Susan

PS I had to be asked to bring my signature up to snuff the last (and first) time I posted. So I appreciate the compliment. I will try to get up the nerve to participate more often. I’m kind of a natural lurker (introverted), but will work on that.

Bella Terra if your in that neck of the woods.

Jon,

I think we are clear on that. At least I am. I think repoer just said the wrong thing.

I mentioned it to a Prevost mechanic the other day when I was in there and he said the likely culprit is the switch. You or somebody else mentioned that as a possibility. I am Still interested in which relay controls it though.

Cheers,

Tom,

Cost as follows: RP-2PMS Tank Monitor $7350, RP Monitor Panel $1850, Bubbler kit $350, Labor $285. We were one of the first customers for the system, prices may have changed. A toggle switch selects between Off, Gray, and Black tanks. Here are pics.

Thanks that is what i was thinking but did not know you needed that much psi to level .I also agree that would be tough on the jun-air to keep up 125 psi the way i have it is the prevost system has over 48psi my jun-air will not run have not tried toilet yet but if i need 60psi ill raise to on at 55 off at 65 hopefuly that wont work the little comp to an eariley retirement .. Do you mean that the level low requires 125psi or the regular supension ? I still have a leak if i dont use level when parked in a day or so the drivers side will drop a lot.Im realy trying to get things right want to go se my brother in Derry NH and other one in Southwick , MA first of Sept. Your advice is mind opening and I thank you for it.

I’m sure you realize many times there’s less room/access on the interior of a slide coach than a non-slide when the slides are in at a truck stop or while driving.

I would NEVER EVER buy a cruise air equipped coach to drive in hot climates without OTR. You MAY be ok with roof airs.

[Bob]

I also have had Liberty handle failure. So far, I have been able to fix it with glue. But I would also like to see your advice on the changeout. Thanks.

[Bob]

What do you mean, Jon’s usually correct ??

When he tells me he leaves the stop lights in town burning rubber from the drive tires, I go for it !!!!!!!!

[Bob]

BTW, if you’re not staying at Disney’s Fort Wildnerness I recoomend you reconsider. You can’t get any more convenient. Boat ride to the Magic Kingdom, bus rides to all other Disney properties.

[Bob]

I take the key out also. Think about it, all someone has to is disconnect the truck from the coach and drive off!!!

[Bob]

I use a USB stick from Verizon with a Cradlepoint router. Works good, but I haven’t tried streaming video because of the cost. I have no idea how much data that takes, but they don’t recommend it at Verizon.

Tom is that some sort of military phone for the field?
