Still no activity on this topic.
There is seemingly very little conservation on any of the topics. Are people so busy they aren’t participating in the forums?
This is where I have gained immense knowledge about the complex Prevost.
I look for info daily by others with issues or info request to gain how to deal with a problem if it should arise on my bus.

On the bright side, you didn’t have to get your new concrete driveway dirty.

Thanks, Art. I did order the bags you and Don used (we all have 40-footer with rigid front axle) , found in this thread: /threaddetails.asp?Category=Chassis&ThreadID=12249
Drive x 4 – Prevost# 630104, GY# 1R11-088(DoubleFlare)
Tag x 2 – Prevost# 630259, GY# 1R11-244(MaeWest)
I already ordered the tag lift valve. It’s the burkert one. If that is not the ideal one, I’ll go ahead on put it on now and replace with a norgren later.

I think its the control box for the fire sensors in the eng compartment. The wires have the numbers tattooed on them indicating its a Prevost item. Try looking it up on the wiring diagram for your coach from the Prevost Car web site.

Shower looks fantastic! Eventually I’d like to have mine remodeled.

Look in the radiator with the cap off ans see if the water is curculating. It could be a stuck thermostat or the impeller rusted or fell off of the water pump.

If your dryer’s check valve or purge valve is bad that will cause that, primary and secondary tanks have check valves so they will not move but wet and aux will, how is the condition of your dryer? I had the same thing happen easy fix, I replaced my hole dryer it wad OEM I installed a new Bendix AD9 dryer my truck buddy said that what all the trash trucks use very tough and dependable.

Ordered new 5 stack ride Height manifold and installed.(manifold ,valves,& solenoid package was only $385) Still loosing 25-30 Psi every 5 minutes while driving. With key off rapid leak slows to 20 Psi loss in about 8-12 hours.
This leak is driving me crazy, at the high rate of air loss with the key on I should be able to find it.
As noted earlier, all air bags and norgren valves have been replaced and about 90% of the push on fittings have be changed out to compression fittings over the last few years.
Running out of ideas.

Not sure if they have input limiters on your inverter but you can easily just get a battery charger like this and wired right to the batteries.
Victron Energy Blue Smart IP22 12-Volt 15 amp 120VAC, Single Output Battery Charger NEMA 5-15, Bluetooth https://a.co/d/4649XuQ
BTW Victron inverters allow me to set the input limit down so I can hit a button and plug in 10a extension cord or 50a

Thanks Art. Roger that on the PPV between Wet and Aux, I show that on my first diagram above. I’m not sure what the crack pressure is – 75 psi?

I have isolation valves on the drivers seat, step well cover, generator air bags, air horns, rear view pop out camera, and engine belt air bags. Have shut off all isolation valves and still have leak.
I am a Florida boy and my bus is a Florida bus, BUT we are currently on a trip to Branson MO for their Christmas season opening. Supposed to be getting in the 20s, so maybe the cold will make the leak easier to find.

This may be a long shot, but might be worth looking at. If the PPV, on the aux tank, has failed and is allowing air to flow back towards the compressor when the compressor has cycled off, it can show this condition. You don’t see it in the main tanks as those check valves have not failed. This could explain why you cannot hear it.

Don:
Did fix a air leak in there a couple of weeks ago. Changed a push on to a compression. That was a lot slower leak and I could clearly hear it. Not hearing anything or seeing (with soap) anything in the 5 stack area.
Really got me stumped. Had may leaks slower than this one and could easily hear them. leaking 20-30 PSI in 10-15 min is a pretty good leak that I should be able to hear. Know I am getting older, but geezzzz.
Chuck
P.S. Not sure but I think I am hearing a leak up between the tags?
