I can see that BK has just opened another topic for us to debate. Maybe we will let his “elite fleet of Setras” slide for now, but I can see there may be some comments from the peanut gallery before long.
So far I am amazed this group has been so polite that none of the typical areas of debate have arisen. Usually when we get a bunch of bus drivers together it isn’t long before we get into discussion about H3 vs XL vs XLII (and soon X3). I have no idea how we have avoided discussions about over the road air(bus air) vs Cruise Airs vs roof airs and now mini splits. Then lets not forget the discussions about the smooth side XLII versus the rivet XL coaches.

Nice job Fred.

A little off topic but not much… My 95 XL tag will vent and drop the back of the bus a few minutes after I kill the engine if I do not dump the tag myself. The Prevost books that came with the coach describes this as normal. I notice that later models do not do this. Does any one know when the change was made and can mine be “fixed” so they will not vent? There are times when it would be easier to level the coach if the tag would stay in the drive postition…

I don’t know where Mango is hanging out but if he could jump on here and provide a link to his Webasto manual it makes servicing the Webasto easy.
The importance of having a basic understanding of the Webasto is that it is used as a stand alone heat source, or it is integral to the Aqua Hot units so either way we need to get comfortable with its operation and repair.

Now, I am blushing again!!!

Welcome aboard BK. Actually welcome to the asylum where we always answer questions, and on rare occasion we may actually provide the correct answer.
I’ll let you share your background with the membership if you choose, but I would like to say to the members that even though BK owns an SOB (some other brand) his expertise is appreciated. Nothing says we cannot try to influence him to consider a Prevost in the future.
You should have been able to easily register, so if you want to share what glitch you encountered we’ll see if our web guru can fix the problem.

Ed,
Hector is a genius at interpreting control systems and then using his computer skills to make us understand things in the simplest of terms. He has not only an understanding of the Prevost suspension system, but an understanding of the entire coach pneumatics. We are lucky to have him willing to share his knowledge.
If we look at the pneumatic diagrams for our coaches taken as a whole it looks pretty scary, but Hector breaks it down into the various systems and sub systems and as he isolates specific sections and functions it all makes sense and becomes easy to understand.
Maybe he will share some knowledge about his Texas Bubbler and how having one can help anyone have a leak free (as in no leaks whatsoever) bus with a little effort and patience.

I removed the OTR a/c system in my bus. I have 2 of the 24 volt solenoids from the 4th bay that are just sitting on the wall, not being used. I see you got some help from your son but if you need to two solenoids, just holler. Shipping from Springfield to Evanville shouldn’t be much and that would be all would I ask.

I contacted Judy Hudson at Ocean Lakes and she sent me two options for groups of 20 coaches. The problem is, we can’t commit to a block of 20 sites, so we’re better off just doing as Sawbonz and John have done, making single reservations. I’ll get on the phone tomorrow and try to get Jon and I close to you guys in the H section. Stay tuned….
Here’s what’s available for a group of 20 or more:
2122 – 2160
3139 – 3174

Bob,
If you have trouble posting pictures let us know. In fact post it and we can make the response a show and tell for anyone that needs assistance. I am sure we all would like to see your photos because as owners we get ideas for improvements, upgrades, or just better ways of doing things from other owners. It doesn’t matter if a coach is new or being converted from a former seated coach. We all can find things we would like to make better. When I say that I am thinking of your split AC units and your interior lighting and ceiling as examples.
If you learn how to post pictures I can predict we will wear your out wanting to see how your creative juices are being used to outfit your coach.
