and here’s a PC thread about the PS filter: LINK

What did they charge for the service? Do they have accommodations for over night stay?

Dick, Untreated water for flushing. Each flush got out about 18 gallons of coolant or water so I took 2 flushes to the recycling center, The rest I spilled down my concrete driveway because the concentration of coolant or engine flush was so little.

No Lobsta for me, fire up that Liberty and knock off the cobwebs on your way to Ba Habba.
As for the lack of posts, I don’t recall that ever happening in 9+ years…

All faucets or just the shower?

Are you talking about a specific CruiseAir branded “soft start” or the generic kind like the MicroAir, EasyStart?
Smarter minds than I will have to chime in if it’s the CruiseAir branded “soft start”. If you are looking for the MicroAir, EasyStart, here is a link to their web site. Click here>>>MicroAir.

Yes, Tom, the back of that rack is open for venting. I don’t relish the thought of pulling out six of those heavy 8D AGMs after marking and taking loose all the cables just to find the master ground if I can help it. When I do the two house battery bank install as described in an earlier post then I will have to remove the 8Ds and redo the cables, but all I want to do right now is just add the large amp blue tooth shunt so I can map usage.
BTW, the earlier post about how to do this half AGM and half Li two house battery bank set up I failed to mention the need for a shut off switch between the large amp combiner and one of the two house battery banks. That is needed only if you have solar charging and are boondocking. Depending on the size of the solar array(s) the solar may put out enough to combine the two banks through the combiner, but not enough to offset the attempt the Li battery bank will make to bring the AGMs up to the same voltage, thereby depleting the Li bank unnecessarily. So, while boondocking you would wire one MPPT solar controller to each bank and turn off the shut off switch. Just be sure to turn it back on while driving, running the generator or on shore power so both banks will get recharged from any of those sources.
One of the major US Li battery manufacturers will offer a 255 amp Li battery in a 8D configuration later in 2020. It is out and being tested by OEMs now under their OEM marketing name. It likely will wind up being ideal for a 1 for 3 substitution for older AGMs since it is unlikely older AGMs still have anything close to the amp hour capacity they were rarted for when new.
This is one of the reasons I want to install the bluetooth shunt on my existing house bank. I know how these have been used since new and I can get a good handle on how much amp hour capacity they have lost over time. It will be nice if this dual house bank set up can allow us to get the benefits of Li in a true drop in replacement system with no special electronic controls other than a high amp combiner (and a shut off switch if solar charging is also desired).

I have a friend with a S-60 in his Kenworth. Owner-Operator. He’s hot rodded the S-60. Fancy computer controller, bigger injectors, bigger turbo, and probably more. Really likes it when he’s pulling a full load he can turn the fancy computer up and get more power … accelerate better, climbs hills in a single bound, etc.
To hot rod the S-60 in a Prevost, I’d be asking how much HP, torque, and heat can the Allison transmission take? Does it need a bigger tranny lube cooler?
I’d be asking how much more heat the S-60 will put out and will the radiator/CAC be able to get rid of it. Like any internal combustion engine there are only a couple of ways to get more power. Fine tuning and machining of the internals to maximize efficiency. Then its a matter of more air (bigger turbo) and more fuel (bigger injectors). The extra fuel creates lots of wasted heat which has to be gotten rid of. It would be frustrating to spend $10,000 (I’m just guessing guys) on a hot rod deal and find out I can’t use it for more than a few minutes because the engine overheats.
Finally my friend with his now 600 to 700hp S-60 is driving his 80,000 tractor/trailer through two (2) differentials. We drive our 48,000 to 52,000 pound coaches (plus a toad or trailer) through a single differential. How much stress and strain can that single differential take? Would it take a 52,000# coach plus a 12,000# enclosed trailer running up the mountain at 75mph (or even 70mph) without complaint? I wouldn’t hot rod a S-60 without having a reliable diff temp gauge to watch. And then would use of the hot rodding be limited by the temp of the differential?
Please keep us posted on your process and experience.

Thanks…..I’ll take a look.

We also have the genius of Liberty’s single tank, grey water bypass, and rose petal dispenser. Love all of it.

“I also found out Dish sells me a Wally, but despite pretending it is a Dish receiver and pretending to be able to help with problems the only thing Dish can do is reactivate the account and any technical support has to come from Outdoors which is a completely different company.”
The Wally is an EXCELLENT DISH receiver! DISH Outdoors is NOT a completely different company. DISH outdoors is DISH.
You are listening to BS and believing what you are told by folks who have no idea what they are “reading” is not correct.
The problems you are having are 100% related to the KVH on your roof and have nothing what-so-ever to do with DISH.
I really am sorry to hear about your issues but these are issues that RVers have been having with KVH for years. It’s why KVH has something like 1% of the RV market.

Traditional application for a well nut is for water resistance, in this application they seem to have missed the mark. You have 3 holes under the light 2 have well nuts and the center hole which is twice the size has a low quality foam gasket. Foam gasket is going leak, it’s like they ignored the center hole. Transitioned over to a nylon split nut set in butyl tape.

That is one beautiful coach. Les. I like the garage, too.
