Ditto that, Tyler. I too need polish work and Nashville is just a nice day ride. Let us know!

Diane & Larry,

I had a gap appear along one of the posts when a window
shifted through normal vibration. Since mine was a seated coach, every other
window is an emergency escape hatch that swings open at the bottom. The alternate
windows are bolted closed at the bottom, but are hinged at the top like the
others and will swing open if the bolts are removed. If you have windows like
mine, check the gaps between each of the windows from outside the coach. If you
find two that are touching each other and others with larger spaces, the seals
between the window and the post may become offset enough for them to miss the
post, cause a gap to appear and cause a leak. Such a gap is easy to eliminate
by simply holding pressure in a fore/aft direction while swinging the window
open and closed. It will move back toward its correct position a little with
each swing. Just keep swinging and pushing until the windows are centered
again. The rub marks on the posts that become visible when the windows are
swung open are a dead giveaway as to which seals are in the proper place and
which are not. I hope my description makes sense and this information turns out
to be of some use to you. I repaired a pesky leak along the edge of the first large window aft of the trapezoid using this method. I have found no weep holes in the H3 window posts.

IBP ordered skin replacement today: will be ready to take home when I leave. Checked against a piece of old had had with and their drawings. All is good. Thanks for clarification as to heigth and getting us to proper drawings. 4 pieces will go in the bay of the 89 XL for the 98 XLE then outside of 98 will be restored to good shape. International Bus Parts IBP Industries has been informed of our site and has bookmarked it. Another source when Prevost does not have a item. Bob

Hey Tom, thanks for the come back. Yes, I saw that petcock on mine but I wasn’t sure if I should
“bleed” it or not. I’ve noticed that yours has a drain tube, does
that drain out onto the ground? If it does, I think that’s a good idea. But also,
on mine there is a side window that shows what appears to be a “scale” possibly indicating when to drain? I was just
wondering if there is a set schedule that you know of for draining these
filters? Thanks for the info.

All you really need is the last 4 digit of your VIN # when ordering parts. The spec 80, 83, or 86 refers to interior height. It also refers to rubber gaskets and seals (example: rubber door gaskets, window seals) exterior skin panels etc. When ordering parts from Prevost, if you have the last 4 # of your VIN, they will be able to tell you if it is 80, 83, or 86. If you have additional questions, I am more than happy to talk with you or anyone else that may have questions. You may reach us at Russell Coach: 865-525-3888. Thanks, Rob

DKO,

Good deal, you’re doing the right thing and you’ll have piece of mind knowing the safety issue has been resolved.

Now tell us about the adventure, it’s got to be good…..

Keep them coming guys…

I don’t experience any of the slowness your talking about with my laptop and I’m running on a Mi-Fi Verizon Broadband, so maybe that is something unique to the I-pad.

To supplement Hector’s excellent webinar a new article has been added here: http://prevostcommunity.com/articleDetail.asp?ID=55

This article will aid in understanding the Level Low suspension system and diagnosing problems that might occur. A lot of the problems encountered are relatively simple to address, at least enough to get you on the road. Copy the article and carry it in your coach in case you ever have a problem. It will help you identify and fix the problem and get you back on the road.

Unless the king is playing with our heads it looks like Steve and the King can’t post from their i-pads but others can. I’m thinking it must be something unique to their i-pads.

I know Roger uses his to list his assets so I think his might be overloaded. Don’t know about Steve.

In this case: A fire surpression system or proper fire extinguisher would have turned out to be a real $ savior. I have the Cold Power system my self. Now! I feel as a novice I would have been able to save this(now my bus). New technology exist to detect rise in heat in wiring harness that can cause fires/or battery feed cables. It will never happen to me??? only has to once.! I have no finicial intrest in this product. I am eager to encourage friends to use to save lives and equipment. Easy /in expensive. Bob
