Not sure this is a 100% true but,

I believe Prevost commissioned Michelin tire company to make the 365 for Prevost and had a 7 year exclusive on the tire when it first came out. The 7 years have long passed but Prevost still gets first dibs off the production line of 365s, meaning 365s will always be available through Prevost although most…

My front is heavy as well. I dump the tag to raise the front up if needed. The canelever effect is a wonderful thing.<div>

I never use my HWH Leveling system on my H3-45. The H3s are notoriously heavy in the front and the HWH Leveling System dumps all the air out of the bags then fills the ones necessary to level the bus. The problem comes when the system is trying to lift the heavy front. It is a slow process lifting the front because of the weight.

I learned…

Try ETLC (East Tennessee Luxury Coach)

365 carry more weight hence more safety margin on the steers. 365 have been had to get over the past years so 356s on the tag give you emergency spares for the steers.

Emergency spare to get you off the road, not down the road

Never known Featherlite to use vacuum toilets. They have always used Headhunter toilets that use a jet of water at the bottom to break up and push the debris through. These toilets require a MINIMUM of 60 PSI to break up and push debris through (especially solids).

Your description sounds like a Headhunter toilet that is working without the…

This is the best service tool I have used so far.😀

Hi Matt:

Keep me updated and let me know how things go. I still have two of the three used CruisAir units.

Chuck

Unit has been flawless. It was a direct drop-in replacement, System had to be flushed then unit was installed, vacuumed down, checked for leaks, then charged with the new Freon R-410A (I Think). All the old controller boards and control panels still are in place and work fine.

Aqua-Air has been building marine units for yachts for years;…

Bought 3 CruisAir units as spares for $1,000 a piece. I was part of the development and marketing of the new Aqua-Air replacement units and now have the Aqua-Air units in my coach. Hence no longer need the spare CruisAir units.

Make me an offer I can’t refuse for one or all three.

Had to find an apartment size refrigerator when I replaced mine. Went through the windshield, but fridges doors had to be removed first for both fitting through the windshield then standing upright and positioning in previous hole.

Don:

Don’t have a source for the Allison transmission filters and gaskets other than Prevost?

Trans oil choices

Preparing to chance the transmission fluid and filters in my bus (2000 H3-45). Is Castro Transynd synthetic the right choice of oil?
Chuck

Over the years I have Whittle down the tools in the box to a minimum. Always thought I needed every tool I owned with me, but have learned you can do quite a bit with just a few select tools.

As for a spare tire, now that you have one you will never need it.LOL

Chuck

Any chance you could post some pictures?

To clarify, the magnets (I am assuming rare earth magnets) hold securely to the roof.

Mike:

I have Starlink and use it exclusive and enjoy its flawless Operation. I have maintained the unmounted use due to the ability to move the antenna from obstructions, but wish I had permanent mounting for over the road use.

Having said that; I was under the impression that our roofs were aluminum and magnets would not hold the antenna.…

Some Featherlite’s were built with booster fans, some without. Mine doesn’t have a booster fan (wish it did).

Had my basement unit rebuilt at Featherlite in Fl (new compressors, new blower fan motors, new capacitors, new control board), Colman no longer makes the replacement unit. I installed the Micro-Air soft starts (requires 2, one for each…

Tell the truth, you stop frequently to pee then check the tires. LOL

OMG

Thank god your OK

How hard was it to maintain control as the steer tire went flat. All the years we have been RVing that has been my #1 fear.

Had a tire on a 5th wheel blow while I was in the left lane passing an 18 wheeler. I believe the only reason I was able to keep control was because the truck was a dually and gave me the stability…

Camper Joe who is no longer participating in this site but is a go to Guru when it comes to bus chassis’s, always said that LONG TERM lowered position can cause early deterioration of upper control arms.

I.E. Always store the coach in the up position or put jack stands under the frame so if the air deflates while in storage the front A-arms…

Don’t have facebook. Any way you could share the post on the DN50 failure after Prevost service you noted in the form?

I agree. Have worked hard at being patient with the new form. Prevost Community has been my favorite go to site for years and I feel obligated to be patient and get through the challenges, but the new site/form is completely inconsistent with most other sites and time consuming to navigate through.

It is with great sorrow that I admit my…

Not familiar with the marathon system, but sounds similar to the Headhunter system. I could not get my Headhunter system to maintain a constant level until I replaced the plastic pipe inside the tank. The original plastic pipe had become brittle over the years and had hair line cracks in it that allowed air to leak out. It was not an easy job…

What year Coach do you have? Earlier models used 134A Freon

After 5 yrs of chasing air leaks I am down to the hard to find ones on the following items & have replaced all of the following over time. The leaks were very small and difficult to detect.. I am at the point where my brake tanks stay up for weeks and my Aux tank drops down to 60 PSI over night and then slowly down to zero over the…

Dido on Bill, Mike & Lisa’s post

Most forms I.E. a couple of Jeep forms a few Marine forms, Aviation forms and other Prevost forms have the “What’s New or Since Last Visit” button.

Chuck

Jessica:

Reading a couple dozen post on the new format I have noticed quite a few replies that ARE NOT my replies, but have my name and picture as the respondent on them???

Chuck
