Thanks for posting!

Is that some $150 per hour mechanics?

Entertainer drivers get a daily rate whether they drive 10 miles or 500 miles. They often are provided with a motel during the day and during the show, but some pocket the motel money and sleep on the bus.
About two years ago they were getting $250-$400 a day.

Wasn’t aware of any rift between forum groups? It never came up during the PPI.
Personally, just Thankful for helpful advice along the way toward learning this/these incredible coaches.
Must say that Jon’s articles were instrumental in knowing what questions to ask – specific to the Prevost chassis and Liberty conversion. And, what additional Maintenance work that Olympia performed far above Level III services and in Zeroing out our Coach.
This has been (and, hopefully will continue to be) a phenomenal experience. Thank you.

I may be talking to an empty room, but I’m posting an update in case someone with some expertise missed this the first time around. And maybe this will help another owner of a classic in the future.
I drilled out those four rivets today. I also had to unscrew the rub rail to finish releasing that thin section of stainless between the doors. I really didn’t gain anything by doing it, as there is still solid frame structure where the rubber would need to pull from the side of the hinge. To try to pull the rubber out in the other direction, I would need to drill out at least ten rivets to release the triangular piece of stainless steel to the left of the door. I’m guessing that I would run into structural steel there too.
It seems that the solution may be to drill out the row of rivets above the door, freeing up the metal track of the hinge assembly. I didn’t count them, but I’m thinking that’s about 15 rivets. It seems extreme for a new piece of rubber, but I don’t see an alternative. I looked at the drawings in CatView, but they don’t show that level of detail. I think I’ll call Prevost tomorrow to see if anyone can clue me in before drilling more rivets. I can’t be the first one to have this hinge fail.

Brady: I’m going to make some too. I was thinking to get the Coach to ride height and build them 1/8″ to 1/4″ shorter.
Then I saw commentary that they
should be 1/2″ to 1″ short and the use shims to close part of the gap.
A number of options.

We love that area and the entire drive up PCH 1 up to Monterey. So much beauty and just such fun!

Moderators who are full time and sincere are the key to this groups success.
As a a new person to RV ing and especially a Prevost I have gained a lot of knowledge about my bus and how it operates. One who is proactive on learning I have created numerous questions on the bus and fortunately received serious answers to my questions. I didn’t have to work with out informative guidance in tackling a new issue with the bus.
These things have so many interconnected systems that a new person can’t absorb the relationships in a couple of nights reading an owners manual,which in the earlier years are loosely described as an owners manual. One might better describe as a sales presentation brochure with verbose text.
Thanks JON & Tom for bringing new learners along on the tremendous learning experience of Prevost ownership

Gorgeous coach, Dave. Really like the interior. Enjoy!!

Happy 4th of July folks… There’s no better place than the good ole USA.

Thank you for the information, gentlemen.
It is and ISRI seat and the 1/4″ line goes to a tee. One side of the tee attaches to the seat somewhere but the second side of the tee is capped off. There is no lumbar support. I was wondering why the tee to a dead end.
Will the 1/4″ line attach to the seat or does it have to be changed to the 6mm you described?
How does the line attach? Compression fitting?

Get a coach with Roof Airs!

14 X 14 door is a good move, a little extra on the side for when you get as old as Jon.
