Uhh, Dale………….

The best we can do is promise you answers. Providing the correct answers might not be possible.

I think in this case you got a concensus.

Thanks guys, thats is why I came here first, the truth.

If the inverters are se up properly this should not happen. What model inverters do you have and what type of control panels are you using? I think you will find the problem is in the set up.

Glad to hear they are on board as advertisers. When I drove by last week each appeared ready to open very soon. Once they open I will try to take some pictures and provide some reviews. I live/have lived about two miles from Destin West all of my life, so if any one is in the area and needs recommendations on restaraunts, activities, shopping, et cetera send me an e-mail. depewtee @ Cox . net (no spaces).

As you can see, Steve is having trouble posting with an I-Pad, anyone else having this issue?

[Bob]

That’s a good plan and going in we might be able to pull it off, parking together.

On the Fair grounds web site posting all I-70 Indy area construction has finished.

Jon,

I think you nailed it.

We purchased our lot as a place to call “home” when we decided to live full-time in the coach following retirement. We figured that we gotta live someplace… might as well be something that fit our lifestyle.

That being said, I believe that most of our owner neighbors see their lot as they would any other vacation property.

There are still the tax advantages (for what they are) and the potential to realize a modest appreciation of the property value as with any other vacation home.

But as you stated so eloquently, there is little about bus ownership (and the RV lifestyle) that passes the Economics 101 test.

Bob,

Keep the faith. Nobody is putting anybody down or trying to engage in one-upsmanship.

There is no one way to build, create, own, design or enjoy a Prevost conversion. Those of us who have seen the entire range of conversions from the home built conversions to the triple and quadruple slide professionally built conversions quickly recognize the good ideas and innovations each brings to the table.

Your use of the split minis is an example of how future coaches are going to eventually maximize their cooling capacity while minimizing current draw. A homebuilder starting with a clean sheet of paper can take risks trying new ideas that a highly engineered converted coach may not embrace until the systems you use have been designed in, tested, and subjected to all the range of conditions. A converter is not in the business of taking risks.

On the other hand homebuilders can steal ideas from converters because they do a great job of selecting colors and materials and creating floor plans that work. The technology behind some of the current coaches is mind boggling, but some ideas still have not reached all new coaches because the converters are going crazy right now dealing with the new X3 shell and the tremendous engineering effort it will take to completely revise their layouts. That follows the same engineering effort they had to expend to deal with the loss of space due to the emissions systems and EGR.

Remember that a lot of us that own Prevost conversions have a lot in common in that we know we have the best base for our conversion and that we share the same concerns about keeping our conversions safe and reliable. How we get our conversions is the only difference and I learned a long time ago that despite what appears to be economic differences doesn’t mean diddly when we all get together and swap tales about our coaches and experiences.

Your post stands Bob because your thoughts and opinions are important and valuable. We are not a site exclusive to any particular type of conversion, but want to have all represented by active participants.

Bob, don’t let it get to you! Those are way out of my league too even though I tried talking Nelson into trading me mine for his! I don’t think he was very interested!

I’d park mine next to any of theirs any day because I need all the help I can get and being parked next to one of theirs would only show onlookers what is poor and what is rich! 🙂

[Bob]

Just as a followup, I replaced the check valve in the Racor filter on Saturday. I left the fuel cutoff turned on and the coach started on half a turn last night after sitting for 5 days. Hopefully that problem is solved with the check valve.

Thanks for all the help!!

Jon usually includes the dinner card like a debit card for Applebees taped under the inside cover. You must have already removed it. Pretty neat when you get a prize with the purchase.

I think it’s pretty common as I to have seen many in that vintage with the top peeling. I like the Ceramic roof coating and that would be one solution for some with roof peeling. Of course the only option for the top cap’s problem would be repainting. Garaging the bus sure has an impact on this, non of the 90’s vintage buses I have had that were garaged have this problem.

[Bob]

I carry a spare, been packin’ it around for four years and have never used it.

OK, I will teach you about Brakemaster in Heritage if you will teach me neat tricks like that. Deal?????
