Congratulations on your coach. Sounds like an excellent plan to have an apartment that can serve multiple duties.

As to the Marathon systems getting the Prevost folks upset, I cannot believe they are unwilling to help you. I say that because you are in one of the service centers that gets its share of entertainer coaches and I cannot believe that from time to time Prevost has to work around conversion devices or systems.

I would recommend you contact the area service manager to see if they can accomodate you. Another alternative is to see if you can find an area RV shop that can remove the offending parts, allow Prevost to deal with the problem, and then re-install them when the fuel leak is fixed.

Probably not, but the tire dealers that sell N will tell you how it does everything except butter your toast.

All of the above. Beautiful drive. 50 mph truck limit on the windy I40 bits. Keep right and enjoy the ride.

FWIW, my flush valve is mounted on the floor of the coach behind my toilet which faces the coach rear. It is accessed by removing a kick plate in the galley. Obviously, if your floor plan is different, yours may be located in a different place. My toilet has been very reliable. OOPS, probably shouldn’t have said that!

I’d consider the words wel maintained with the same grain of salt as

Very clean

custom

garage kept

upgraded

rare

hard to find

Triumph edition

all these descriptors don’t mean a thing anymore. It’s a bummer…. but it’s where we are now. All you can do is see it in person and try to gauge the person and see if there is any support documentation. Then make your best guess. And try to get an inspection by the right person. Then…. cross your fingers because even then it’s a crap shoot!

+2 on Williams, the train ride, and the local Williams Rt 66 connection. If you’re a Rt 66 junkie & headed back on I40, might make a quick stop in Adrian, TX (about 60 mi west of Amarillo). It was the midpoint for Rt 66 between Chicago & LA. Some unique photo ops available, and if the cafe hasn’t closed for the season, some really good coffee & apple pie…

Hey Gadget Guru,

Would this Flx possibly have a Cummins diesel? If so did you purchase it from a guy named Dave, who used to reside in Nash County, NC? I saw his bus for sale in SC a while back. I’ve had the privilege to visit with Dave and Carol during SE Busnut Rallies at the former KOA in Wade, NC. Quite the nice Flx, and as Jon would say, “Classic” bus.

So come on aboard and attend some get togethers. We have NoRally Rallies. That just means we decide to get together for a fun time without a set agenda. Lots of libations and food too.

Welcome to PC, where you don’t have to be pc!

I agree Jon but sometimes I don’t need ACs so at night there is not much load on the gen , I change my gen oil and filter about Twice a month I use it loaded up and lots all year !!!!!

I am sure some engineer or manager at Prevost came to realize that on a half million dollar bus shell they could save $100 worth of labor using push in fittings instead of compression fittings.

Here is a challenge for the Prevost employees who participated in the decision or went along with the decision. Pick any 10 year old conversion. At 10 years of age those labor saving fittings are all leaking about one bubble of air per hour. None of that is even worth mentioning, except out of the hundreds of push in fittings in use each one contributes to a leak rate that is annoying, extremely difficult to fix, and pisses us off. So all we ask of you is to take one of our 10 year old coaches and change its fittings back to compression. We get to watch you. We get to laugh at what you have to go through. We get to watch you write a large check just to pay for the correct fittings. We get to watch you spend at least a week busting your knuckles making the bus the way it should have been from the factory.

I’ll bet when you are done fixing a bus you won’t make stupid decisions like the one relating to push in fittings.
