Jon,
Question for you based on my understanding of the prevost towing instructions that I forwarded to you and you all posted in the articles section it appears prevost only wants the bus’s tow’d from under the front axel? I am missing something there or can you further explain your reasoning on this. I haven’t had a chance to view the towing video yet so perhaps the answer is in that. If that is the case I apoligize for asking. Thanks to you and tom for posting the video.

Dealer (service department) should know that one about battery drain. I would say no. On my 2013 ford f150 there is no drain. Had it wired at shop for pass though lights. No brake system and with jakes on coach haven’t really needed extra braking but then again I’m running flat ground most of the time here in texas.
Thinking about upgrading to 2016 when they come out as they say the new aluminum bodies are quite a bit lighter.

As a participant in the first seminar, I could not agree more that the venue is vital. Jeff’s place has the parking, the classroom area…the all-important food tent, and the lifts. And Jeff and the Eagles are forever present with their patience and knowledge. I really enjoyed the experience.
Gonna be a tough find to duplicate Vonore!!!!

Bill,
As we covered in our seminar this weekend, hub seal leaks can lead to issues with grease getting on the shoes or pads and actually causing the loss of stopping power on that wheel. However a hub seal leak usually does not start out as a gusher, and is noticed quickly with the black streaking on the wheels. If the repair is made within a reasonable amount of time the brake friction material (pads or shoes) can be easily cleaned if necessary and there is little or no loss of brake function.
If on the other hand you have an oily mess with built up grease, road dirt, and brake dust with signs of grease spread all around the tire or wheel then it is likely you may have to consider changing pads. That usually takes a few thousand miles of leaking to get to that point.
A hub seal leak is not an emergency, but does require attention. And just because one hub seal is leaking it does not mean others are about to begin leaking. Fix the leaker, and you are probably OK. We have no consistency to the life of hub seals, with some leaking at relatively few miles, and some never leaking the entire life of the coach.

Thanks for the welcome. As my wife usually says, “he don’t need any help spending money”.LOL
I have looked at coaches online until I am tired of looking.The bad thing is not knowing a good one from a bad one OH and the money it takes to get one. We may start taking some trips I guess to look at a few, we’re between Houston and Dallas, a few to look at in the area I guess.

Cindy & I want to express our sincere gratitude to Jon, Tom, and Jeff for hosting this Seminar. Their knowledge on these complex machines is exceptional, and the “hands on” sessions make it come alive, highlighted by John’s towing demo. We hope to use this information to not only locate & buy our first Prevost, but to safely operate and maintain it in the years to come. Of course, Jeff & Josh will be intimately involved in that end as well. The new friendships was an exceptional bonus & we look forward to fostering those relationships in the years to come. Cheers, Tim & Cindy
