    April 11, 2021 at 9:33 am in reply to: Fatal Accident in S. Carolina-Diesel Pusher

    Over the years we have seen the results of accidents, RVs, trailers, and commercial buses including Prevost and other makes such as MCI.

    I have seen Prevost coaches suffering substantial damage, but I have never seen one come apart. The chassis may get twisted or torn by something the coach hits, but it stays together. To the extent possible the occupants still are within and protected by the chassis structure.

    But I have seen conventional RV accidents in which the RV literally was disassembled. I will never forget coming on our first RV accident shortly after we bought our first coach. For hundreds of feet we saw parts and pieces of what used to be an RV. When we came upon the chassis structure there was nothing left on it.

    We owners benefit greatly by having a structure around us. To us there is a comfort in knowing when the dust settles our coach may be totaled but that it remains intact and provides some level of protection.

    There are also many beautiful state/county camp grounds in the Phoenix area. Most notably, Lost Dutchman in the Superstitions, Usury in Mesa, Cave Creek in Cave Creek. Sites are usually much larger than commercial camp grounds and have 50A and water but no sewer. Works well for us as we typically don’t stay longer than 10-14 days in one place- we tend to get bored. With all the new RVers out there one has to reserve space pretty much one year in advance.

    I had one Burkett 3 port valve under rear of bus on driver side inside frame above tag used for lifting tag axle , and I replaced it with a 3 port Norgren valve. Those valves do the same thing they can be used as NO or NC,much better valve. As per check valves,I replaced both of my check valves a couple of years ago and now the mains stay put. 1st picture was burkett valve now Norgren 2nd is check valves.

    Impressive! You have been busy!

    Perhaps:

    – Aqua Hot burner nozzle

    – Check engine pulley bearings

    – New belts (bet you just forgot to list)

    – Grease chassis (probably already done, too)

    – Replace any Norgren air dryer FILTERS (internal)

    – Replace smoke alarm battery

    – Test carbon monoxide detector & maybe add another

    April 4, 2021 at 8:46 am in reply to: Michelin Tire Problems

    I received and email from a Michelin manager this morning and she indicated she will look into this. She has access to our site.

    I do not know if she will respond here or if she will contact you via email.

    This Michelin publication will outline how to do any procedure on tires and if a tire being mounted or repaired is not done as described in the manual you should bookmark it and have it available to show the technician.

    What are the chances that those old capitors have dried up and quit? What do they do anyhow?

    March 30, 2021 at 5:20 pm in reply to: Dash light rheostat

    Quick update on my hot rheostat. I ordered a new pwm rheostat that required the light feed positives as well as grounds to run through the dimmer. (Known as a “low side” dimmer). This type caused the gauges that have a sending unit to fluctuate because the lights use the same ground as the ground reference for the senders. I scrapped that one and ordered a pwm “high side” dimmer which only uses the positive wire for dimming. My issue is resolved and i am enjoying my bright instrument panel. I hope this helps someone down the line jeff

    I’ve had several of the air Microphor’s and never had any air leaking out the bottom of that regulator. Probably needs replaced unless someone else has had the problem and can offer some help.

    Rrental:

    Look in my parts manual and online, don’t find any info on the plunger.

    Do you happen to know where I can find info for replacement?

    Bought one of these at Auction that tests older Detroit sensors. Hope somebody knows how to use it. LOL. Also got a couple Pro Links 9000’s that is the old tech format at the same Auction.

    With them open the cold air can really be felt. With them closed the driver can feel the heat. I would always want them to work because when the outside temps are single digits open shutters make it hard to get warm.
