Chuck, I am sure a lot of other owners are reading this and you need to fill in some of the gaps in information.
First, as previously mentioned, if your coach originally worked as designed and then did not after air bags were changed, then other than the change in air bags did anything else change? If not you had to have had different replacement air bags.
You state your front axle weight as almost 18,000 pounds. What is the actual axle rating? If your actual weight exceeds the limit that is a contributing factor.
As Tom mentions coaches with overweight front ends require tag lifting sometimes to get max height lifting, but if you are just learning this and never had to previously use that technique then lifting the tag to get max height is masking the real problem which you state is after an air bag change the coach would not fully rise. You can live with having to lift your tag and accept that as the solution, or you can get your coach fixed correctly.
An excessive front end weight is another whole topic.

Thanks for the help. Now I have to decide whether to go north over to Bozeman and back through South Dakota or back 80. Thanks for the replies. Sounds like I-70 is a no go and only for the fearless (which I am not).

Art, none of us exposes our dryers to anywhere near the moisture they could get in commercial service, but regardless I swap cartridges every 2 years.
I have NEVER gotten moisture from beyond the wet tank, and on those couple of occasions when I did get some from the wet tank it was an insignificant amount. Maybe a tea spoon. Most of the time when I drain tanks, including the wet tank they are bone dry.

Is it true that once a new tire has been improperly mounted then driven for a few hundred miles where it heats up then cools, it now has memory and is difficult if not impossible to recenter on the rim

That manifold we call the “five stack”. It has 5 “coils” and a “armature” under each coil. The following applies to my Liberty “Classic”
#1 = 12v coil is for supply
#2 = 12v coil is for manually raising & lowering front
#3 = 24v coil is for the normal D”drive” mode
#4 = 12v coil is for manually raising and lowering the back right
#5 = 12v coil is for manually raising and lowering the back left
12v coil = pt# 54452-02 = $25ea – https://www.imi-precision.com/us/en/
24v coil = pt# 54452-03 = $17ea – https://www.imi-precision.com/us/enUnder each coil is an “armature”, pt# 54462-31, $36 ea https://www.imi-precision.com/us/en

I am so sorry to hear about this. Martha and Roy were at Catherines Landing in Hot Springs a few years ago at the ‘No Rally Rally’ !
Roy, sending condolences your way!

What Jeff said.
An EGR coach (I assume this is an EGR coach, and if so it will be identified as DDEC V on the label on the rear electric box) might have leaks as Jeff mentions.
Usually your boost gauge is an indicator. At full throttle you can peg the boost at the 30 PSI limit. But with an EGR coach the gauges lie. When the EGR engages the actual boost pressure can go as high as 50 PSI but the gauge does not show that.
With the coach at high idle spray soapy water at the CAC (next to the radiator) and if bubbles appear where the tubes connect top and bottom to the tanks the CAC is defective. But due to the high temps and pressures look especially hard at the flexible hoses between the turbo and the CAC. Use your hands or a mirror and look all the way around them.

Good luck on the Prevost shop and keep us posted. Went to start mine a couple days ago and the pop off jetted the freon on the accumulater tank. Condenser fans didn’t come on and have to find out why. Always something it seems. Anybody wanna buy a cheap 1991 XL as I’m getting tired of the hunt. Wish Harry, “The Go To Man” was closer to fix my little problems. Well at least he sends me greenbacks to keep mine rolling.

I highly recommend East Tennessee Luxury Coach (ETLC). Jeff is on here regularly and does excellent work. I haven’t had mine replaced, YET. But, it is moving up my priorities list.

NFPA 70E basically prohibits energized work. An Energized Work Permit is required before any energized work. There is no way to justify energized work at an RV park. In short, turn off the power, lock the breaker in the off position, verify the circuit is de-energized and then repair the pedestal.
