    January 3, 2012 at 7:55 pm in reply to: 24 volt coils for level system

    Bob,

    I’ve never had any luck trying to cross the numbers over because they’re propietary for Prevost. My 24v coils are 641929 at 33.89 and the valve is 641928 at 39.30. I assume your referring to the 5 port valve assembly in the steering bay. The middle one is the ride height and usually goes first because it gets hot anytime the key is on. I’ve never had to buy the whole assembly, so I’m at a loss as to the cost.

    you have enough slack looks like you just need a new end to attach to compressor. inside crimped area inside hose is barbed fitting. the grimped piece holds outside tight against it. If some shop there had outside part (simular to a can) they could reuse inner part and field crimp the old fitting in place. I know it doesn’t help but I have the tools to do hoses and sleeves as part of everday use. I am hobby guy not in business!.. would just cut line and grind sleeve off being careful not to get into inside barbed fitting. Might even get lucky enough in this case and actually screw inside barbed fitting out of hose without cutting. Would still need outer sleeve and either hydraulic or hand crimper.. The cheap hose clamps will not last long. Our local welding tool supply has the outside sleeves and mechanical clamp tools.

    Here are a few more pictures with a little better perspective…For some reason they came through a little big so you might have to scroll side to side to see it all.

    If anyone is considering ISRI seat removal I recommend doing it in pieces.

    When I redid our living room I made the mistake of just unbolting it from the floor and trying to lift it out of position and out of the way. After I seriously damaged my back I realized I should have just taken it apart in three sections making the handling of it much easier.

    I did disassemble it prior to replacement and it made the effort a whole lot less when I reinstalled it. Ditto with the co-pilot seat which I think is Villa or Flex Steel, but is equally heavy.

    January 3, 2012 at 6:28 am in reply to: Blowout!

    Michael and all……..There should be a jack in the first bay, passenger side behind a panel just behind the steer wheel. It is worth while to verify it is there.

    Most tire service providers deal with trucks. even with blowouts there is likely plenty of space to get a jack under the axle to do the wheel removal. No so easy with our buses and we have to use our knowledge of the coach and the level low system to help them. We can also minimize our frustrations by making them aware when we call that they have to send a service truck with the right gear to get the job done. A tag axle repair is the easiest. Michael’s experience was not so good because the service guy probably did not have a low profile jack. To help himself he could have brought along a series of short boards to drive up on to get the side of the coach a little higher. The point is as owners we probably have to offer advice to people whose experience may have been limited to trucks with easy access to lift points.

    I have been carrying a pair of short 4 X 4s for a long time just as a potential aid if I have to drive up on some blocking to get a wheel or axle a little higher off the ground for purposes of jacking. I hope i never have to use them.

    Usually the contactors are located inside a box, usually the transfer switch unless the coach manufacture made their own transfer switch, which can be done. I have enclosed a link to the square D electrical catalogue. Once downloaded, go to page 33-35 to see if any of the displayed contactors type P match yours. If so, let us know which one and we can do a search to see who might have one close by to you.

    Joe is the web site developer who has been working not only to create the site, but work through the details to make the site user friendly and free of glitches.

    We have found out our vision of the web site was easy to define. What is not so easy is to define how we needed to handle the gazillions of details that go into creating a web site. All of our members therefore are functioning as test pilots.

    Anyone interested in forming a group to represent the Florida Panhandle? Geographically we could easily cover Pensacola to Panama City and up to the Dothan, AL area. If interested send me a reply here or an e-mail to depewtee at cox dot net.
