I’m thinking about the windshields but I might go ahead and do them as well, I bought the bumper cover not the whole assembly from prevost, it takes a bit of modifying the original bumper support but nothing major if you have the right tools. Believe it or not the new style bumper supports are slimmer than the old ones so you have to trim yours a bit. You also have to notch the front structure where the old headlights where located to fit the new front end nothing major. I will snap a few detailed photos for you tomorrow.

My reason for sticking with Liberty is no single thing, but a combination, none of which may apply to others.
I will not own a coach that does not have OTR. Trying to find another conversion with OTR is very difficult so I focus on Liberty. I like the way Liberty builds its coaches and feel the quality level is good. There is almost nothing I haven’t worked on or taken apart and I just like what I see and how they put things together.
But their level of support keeps me coming back. On those occasions when I needed parts, advice or information I was never left hanging.
I suspect however that with the exception of OTR other owners can say the same thing.
No other conversion however has as standard equipment a rose petal dispenser on the holding tank drain.

That’s a good idea I didn’t even think about that.

I think I saw Buddy last week trying to quadruple tow..
I could barely hear him, but he was telling the cop it’s legal, he’s a Cajun.

Please do not guess because AAP is fighting the fight to get people to understand they are in business, they are making new split Cruisairs as we use on our coaches and for them it is business as it has been for forty years.
They continue to use R-22 and for the foreseeable future will continue to do so. They have done extensive testing for their own purposes and for others on the various refrigerants and currently there is no refrigerant the equivalent of R-22 that offers the performance of R-22. However, they are not opposed to someone recharging a system with suitable alternatives. They just want people to be aware there may be a loss of efficiency.
That is no different than when folks switched R-12 systems to 134-A. Everything worked, but they lost about 15% of the cooling capacity.
The use by both companies, Dometic and AAP, of the Cruisair name has left a false impression about whether AAP remains, but it not only remains they are making new units every day.

Wind resistance? It probably impacts the fuel mileage in the second or third decimal place.
While inspecting our coach Jeff Rowe of East Tennessee Luxury Coach told me the spotlight is used rarely. That surprised me. But our coach is our first motorhome so what did I know.
In almost six years I’ve used it a few times and was glad I had it. Twice I arrived at the race track in the dark used the spot light to look for a parking site for the M/H and 26’ trailer. Very handy. Two other times to shine deer in the yard at home.
Having used it, I wouldn’t want to give it up.

Look at the charts for total/daily-new cases and deaths by country and make up your own mind. Take China’s stats with a grain of salt.

You can certainly give them a call. My guess (hope) would be that they will not as they provide a necessary service to public and private businesses. Keeping a safe separation should also be fairly easy.

Good question and rather than guess I will send an email to the Prevost experts and post the answer.
I do know mine runs when the temperature selected is calling for heat but not when it is extremely cold. It does modulate the temperature when A/C is called for with coolant through a heat exchanger.

It seems that Emerald is one converter that is doing it right, or at least the closest to the sensible adoption of new technology in a fashion that makes sense to me.
Proven technology, applied sensibly, in a fashion that is accessible and maintainable, will result in a happy camper.
Reminds me of the initial days of the point matrix printers. Just because you could print a document in Old English Script did not mean you should print your document in Old English Script.

I believe I understand your house system to be a 12/24 volt system with six batteries cabled in series and parallel.
It is set up just like your chassis batteries, except the chassis only has four batteries.
When you measure voltages you should have a 12 volt reading that is 1/2 of the 24 volt reading, within about 1/2 volt. Based on voltages from your chassis batteries that relationship is correct and it indicates all is well.
When the house batteries are charged the same relationship should exist. If the batteries are at rest, and not being charged the relationship between the 12 and 24 volt side should be maintained as the equalizer does what it is supposed to do and maintain the relationship. When the batteries are being charged it should also be working to keep the 12 volt side exactly half of the the 24 volt side.
Since it is not, it appears to indicate the equalizer is failing. The Vanner web site as I recall has a detailed way of testing equalizers and that might be a good starting point to determine the problem.
