Chuck, if your controls are not displaying you are not getting power to them.
On your coach make sure all 4 circuit breakers in the electrical panel are on and the green indicator light next to the switch is lit. If it is not lit you are not getting power to that panel.
Once you have power indicated at the panel, use your Crestron, go to the mechanical page and turn on the Cruiseairs. At that point you should have power to the SMX panels. You can then turn them on at the SMX panel, or as I do, I leave the SMX panel “on” and set, and use the Crestron to turn on AC units. Others leave the Crestron on, and use the SMX panels to operate the Cruiseairs.

Jon, the cut and paste worked, thanks. I have disconnected the batteries from each other, load tested separately and have let them sit idle. How long would they need to sit without being connected for it to be a fair test?

I think those dates may very well work for us too!
Of course, like most, we’ll know more as the time gets closer.
Maybe I missed it, but if there is a ‘commitment’ deadline, I will follow it and will let the group know for sure.

Side Note: I know that there was talk of an Alaska trip but I can’t find it. We will not be able to go on that trip.

Chuck,
Your chassis batteries are under the stainless steel box for sewer hoses in the engine compartment.
Your batteries should read 12.7 and 25.4 volts respectively. The diagram is on the RH side engine door.
My concern is your battery balance light, and how long it has been on. If your battery voltages are not in the ratio stated above (12 volt side being 1/2 of the 24 volt side within 1/2 volt) it is an indication your battery balance light is not the monitor, but a real problem with balance.
Does the engine spin when you turn the key, but not fire or does it not spin?
I am on the road in about an hour so when you post the answers someone else may have to jump in here.

One thing everyone needs to realize is while the IFS has shortened the turn radius, that feature is of no benefit if there is no room for the swing of the front end when backing because the front end is almost going sideways. I face this situation with a guard rail right at the edge of the road opposite my driveway. Similarly, when going forward the driver has to be aware the potential for damage is shifted to the center of the coach as the body swings sideways. Campgrounds in particular present a risk in sharp turns when there are large boulders used to define the roads or prevent coaches from cutting corners and running over the grass.

Chuck…
When we purchased our bus 3 years ago it came with the Crestron system installed however the remotes were huge and really heavy and often slow to react…we had two huge heavy remotes and one smaller one for the outside TV and stuff.
Jeff was doing Crestron upgrades switching the old remotes over to ipads of your choice… which we did and it is so different… we even have several features that we didn’t have on the old ones. Its so much clearer and more responsive than the old ones not to mention easy to hold.
We chose 3 ipad minis as they are so easy to handle.
Your remotes may not be as big as the ones we had… they were huge and very heavy.
Cheers, Diane

Welcome Allan, you found the right place for information and we’ll do our best to help you spend your money. There are a number of conversions that can be imported to Canada, Liberty, Marathon, Country Coach, probably Featherlite/Vantare and others, so check around.

Can’t wait to see you and Cindy and compare notes
(stories) especially since you’ll have a year under your belts. We are on the East coast and later west Texas this summer and fall. Geo.

I owned a 97 45′ Liberty with a solid front axle. Bullet proof might be stretching the truth a little, but that riveted chassis with the simple front axle, the Series 60 and the world transmission (six speed) was a joy to own. It was reliable, serviceable, had no shortcomings, and was the most economical coach to own. Saying a Prevost can be economical to own seems like something a politician would say, but those of us that have or have had that vintage Prevost likely never have issues if the coach is provided with good routine maintenance.
Everyone I know that has a similar vintage coach has pretty much the same experience I had.
Don’t forget the pit in the busdominium. It is worth its weight in gold.
