Luc, if you have experience with pneumatics it shouldn’t take more than a couple hours. Take picture and make sure you hook it up exactly as it was. I even pass supply and signal air thru my new valves to assure the logic is correct before i install them.

Ok; anyone who knows me I’m a OUT OF THE BOX::: thinker. been running mini split units modified for bus install. since 2012. my new thought would to be the inverter type mini split now on market with solar assist built into the unit from factory. A seated factory coach designed with 50 passangers on board has a 96,000btu unit.Lots of human heat there to get rid of! My 45XLE runs very nice for rv use with 30,000btu. A total load of 22 amps at 120 volts or 2640Watt load. with the solar assist unit the seer valve jumps to 35. For referance a standard roof top does good to get 15seer. (higher is better) My one interior unit is mounted under cabinet. Works good.. Also these units are ac & heat.Mine has preformed well down into low teens F. I’m putting one to play with in my home. I can see using the new flex solar panels on roof of bus to cut or add heat soak depending on time of year. When solar falls short your battery bank should be able to keep up then if not genset time. Note allot of you have 20,000 watt genset. Bob

my understanding was prevost used sikaflex. Dremel tool cutting wheels will cut it. Just not sure if side trim needs removing.

Morning, I want to follow up on this post. Had a nice chat with John and found a common problem which is easily fixed.
He had not run the burner regularly. I find this often and it results in the diesel on the nozzle congealing resulting in the smoking, unburned fuel.
The solution is two fold. First, service the burner which includes a new nozzle. Second, RUN the burner ONCE per month, year round, no excuses. This keeps fresh diesel on the nozzle allowing it to fire with no smoke or smell for 2 or maybe 3 years before burner service is necessary again.
Very happy to meet John and assist him. All the best to you all.

Belts for our 96 Liberty XL40 12v Classic w/60 series & OTR:
90 degree gearbox to fan clutch (serpentine)=Dayco# 5100510(10 rib, 51”)
For the 24v alternator (serpentine)= Dayco# 5120720(12 rib, 72”)
Crank to 90 degree gearbox(v-belt) = cogged banded #AX74/03 from the V Belt Guys
or
3 matched Dayco# AX74(0.53”w by 76”L)
Crank to OTR 05G ac compressor(v-belt) = cogged banded #BX97/02 from the V Belt Guys
or
2 matched Dayco# BX97(0.67”w by 100”L)
90 degree gearbox to 12V house alternator(v-belt)=1 Dayco# BX31(0.67”w by 34”L)
I prefer the cogged banded belts vs the matched sets where applicable.
Your results may vary.

After trying the folks at cc… you could look for someone with a 3D printer and get them to make you some, or maybe waterjet some out of aluminum that would last longer…? Good luck with your travels and search, I feel your pain with a cc of our own…

Were the AC’s running? If so he probably didnt hear you knocking.

That’s what I’m going to do. I brought
12v power into the water bay from the
house battery bank. The pump is fused
in line. I may put in another Remco for back up.
My coach didn’t have a second pump,
just the Grundfos.

Before you abandon that Bose lifestyle 20, the only thing wrong with it may be a blown fuse located inside the subwoofer. Makes the whole thing go soundless. If the head unit lights up, and still no sound check that fuse first. If the head unit is dead, they are available on ebay.
It’s somewhat old school but when working right makes pretty good sound.
Subwoofer in front is usually under sofa, in back under the bed, may have to remove access panel on the non raising part of the bed platform to get to it.

Thank you for the replies. John, as usual, you had it correct. I cleaned all the connections really well and the battery balance light went off and all the voltage numbers were correct and did not jump around. I appreciate your insight.

Jeff. Great follow-up to my original post. Glad to hear everything came out positive. This forum is invaluable for anyone who owns a PREVOST bus. Thanks for the follow-up.
