Does anyone have a source for the LT 28-H1 motor drive wheel?
Exactly same issue as Tim had, motor runs but does not engage the shade to open or close. Is there a possibility that the drive wheel can disengage from the motor? How much motor / wheel engagement is there? Everything worked fine when I closed them…indication that something was wrong was when I heard the motor still running after all blinds were closed, no other noise that will indicate that something broke.
I did not take down the shade yet due to valances being in the way, would like to have the parts before I start removing stuff…
Thanks

Dave:
I just went through the same thing. Fan clutch locks into high speed with dash A/C compressor function so both were short cycling. In my case, dash air was cooling just fine but with the cycling every few seconds, something won’t last long. Took to local shop. Big mistake. Spec for the 134a refrigerant for my 2000 chasis is 6# 10oz. They evacuated the system and recovered 6# and so said low on freon and replaced up to the 6/10. That killed the cooling from the dash and now there was an additional cycling with the high pressure switch kicking on and off at 320 psi – as it is supposed to. Had them let off freon until that stopped.
Then I checked ohms of the fan clutch. Spec for high side (A to C) is 35-42 ohms. I got 8. Put in new fan clutch and problem went away.
I have seen cars short cycle when low on freon but usually associated with bad cooling. I never lost cooling.
That was my experience. Mike

Alex: I replaced mine on a 2000 H3, lots of fun “NOT”.
Passengers side not to bad, but drivers side not so much fun. Plastic trim around the base of the steering wheel has to be removed, then you have to put your arm through the Y shape steering wheel support to reach the nut. The space is small and the metal edges are sharp (ask me how I know). Band-Aids should probably be part of your tool box for this project.
Your next challenge will be putting a wrench on the nut and turning it without dropping the darn wrench. It is doable but a pain the A..

From the Prevost electrical and wiring diagrams I have identified the proper bulbs for the dash and have ordered from Prevost. Thanks everyone for the responses.
Exterior Compartment, except engine, Bulb, Prevost PRTNO 562278, 24V/10W
Other Instrument, Prevost PRTNO 560144, SAE 1820 (24V)
Docking, Prevost PRTNO 561882, H3 (OSRAM), 48700 NARVA, 21V/24V, 70W
Engine Compartment, Prevost PRTNO 560601 SAE 456, 24V 2 c.p.
I would really like to change the docking lights to LED. I believe I saw a PC post about that last year.
Hope everyone on PC is well and safe, and if traveling, protecting yourselves.

I found my Prevost original build wiring diagrams. My coach interior lights are 24V, just a few lights are 12V. Looking at Amazon now for 24V replacement puck lights for the interior.

All are affected. There have been a number of threads about this topic, including some showing replacement of affected mechanisms.

Thank you all for replying…
George, Buddy, I believe is air operated.
I did see the plastic rotor and lever mechanism
Bernie, I did not changed the parts you sent to me, yet…
I do have a very small leak on bathroom sliding door only when operated, not enough to impact the air on the toilet mechanism.
Tom, i believe is air, I hear the hissing/ whooshing Sound and the Toilets lever is activated. I took the top cover Off, replaced the only fuse i can see there, it was good, but replaced Anyway, also tried to remove/replace each electrical connector I could, no luck.
Completely shut down and restarted the coach, no luck.
I will attempt again this morning…2000 Featherlite H3-45

Jon, As we speak, I’m carrying $500K agreed Value on my ’20 London Aire. $1000 deductible at $2800/year.
i have no idea why Progressive won’t quote you. I know they’ll never tell you why.

Hi Dick,
I can’t remember for sure but it is at least three or four years. I had one leak near the coupler. The company asked me to text pics of both ends cut off. As soon as they got that text they sent a new hose. I’m not sure how they would do in really hot weather under pressure all the time, but that is not how I use them. They come in 1/2″ and 5/8″. Very little difference in bulk so I carry the 5/8″. Makes filling the water tank a bit faster.

Mark,
What was the cost of the level 3 maintenance?
Thanks, Joe

Well, I finally got around to doing a road test. Sunny day at about 78 degrees F. I ran 55 miles down the highway at about 65 mph and then parked at fast idle. I found the hottest temperature for my engine bay electrical components (including all batteries) was around 135 F. That was on the outbound leg. On the way back, my cruise control decided to fail in the on/resume position, so even with it turned off I was hammer down until I stepped firmly on the brake. Then, it held whatever pedal position I applied manually. Since I was going through some small hills, I eventually needed “full throttle,” leaving me once again hammer down. My solution was to drop to 4th gear and let it run against the governor at about 60 mph. I cautiously monitored engine and transmission temps, but both remained fairly even. Transmission around 185 and engine at about 172. At home, I shut down and went straight back to measure temps. They had made it to about 143.
That’s below the maximum temperature for the Victron equipment, so I’m going to run with it and see how things hold up. If higher outside temperatures cause things to heat up too much, I’ll look at moving stuff inside. Thanks for all of your comments and suggestions!
a couple of edits:
I again forgot to monitor temperatures after shutdown to see if they went up. I doubt I’ll do another run just for that.
Dick, I ordered some temperature sensors to cobble something together with a Raspberry Pi computer. That should be a fun project.

I use the Hughes auto booster it weighs 35lbs. In Low voltage, or potentially low voltage situations are use the booster

That’s the one I have but didn’t get the remote. Did you purchase the remote afterwards or with your original purchase?
