Now Jon, that’s a problem for those of us who have lost our marbles.

I see so many advantages to having ONE holding tank. We also have the grey water bypass which is nice if water is allowed to be released.
Think about it, the black tank needs lots of water and combining grey water to it is a perfect marriage.
I just have not seen a down side to having the combined grey and black.
Safe travels,
Mark

Feel free to stop by and I will take a look at it…Not sure when you will be in the Knoxville area..

Truk if I had the Bristol Tennessee Car Dealers cash, I could give you this Hog. I’m not even close. Maybe he has all that cash because of all the vehicles you bought from him.

Looks like one strategy is to use a friction surface for 1:1 drive and an eddy current when the friction surface is disengaged to underdrive.

I should get a bigger percentage of the dues money….

There are certain things you can replace as needed. A protection valve is kind of like the suspenders to go with your belt. First, it is easy to diagnose when it isn’t working if you do a pre-trip brake check, and second it really only is needed if something else in the pneumatic system leaks catastrophically.
Relay valves can fall into that category also. If the brake system(s) go to zero pressure in a short period of time such as overnight, and you are confident other potential leaks such as the pressure gauge fittings or the brake treadle are not leaking they could be an “as needed” replacement.
We all would go broke replacing everything that had the potential to fail without some evidence to suggest a life span. We have ample anecdotal evidence to suggest things like air bags, brake chambers and Norgren valves have a life span, but due to their reliability few of us have ever had a protection valve, relay valve, check valve or foot treadle failure. Unless we have a pneumatic system dripping wet at which point everything should be suspect.

good luck, Brett

He’s not yelling folks, his cap lock was on and he’s so happy to be on the road instead of in his pit he just missed it.

I use a pressure regulator on my incoming water line. It is easier to be sure than have an aw sh…

1) Fuel capacity 298 gallons old, maybe 208 new.
2) Sheet metal rivets old, glue new.
3) Stainless steel waste tank old, aluminum new.
4) Charge air cooler sandwiched with radiator old, side by side new.
5) No exhaust treatment old, catalytic converter diesel particulate filter diesel exhaust fluid new.
6) Solid front axle old, independent front suspension (bushings) new.
7) Depreciation old, depreciation new.
8) No slides old, slides new.Manufacturers need to evolve their product to stimulate sales and in so doing sometimes take a step backwards.
Our chassis has a service life according to Prevost of two million miles. So at 142,000 miles, my view of ours is that we have 1,858,000 miles to go before we need a newer one. But I also realize that the Detroit will need a rebuild in about 858,000 miles.
Again this is just my two cents and my preference, the new and newer ones are nice too.

I don’t know if any of the manufacturers of tires have ever posted limits, but it seems to me that like planes have operational limits, so do our buses.
It is one thing being faced with replacing a tire because of the cost, but a blowout is not about the money, but about the potential risk to your safety. I know we have lawyers here who may be able to offer an opinion for or against the use of our coaches when certain limits are exceeded.
As Clifford says, when the pavement is as high as 180 degrees failures are almost a given.

I think they will be using a 48 volt system to do all the power need.
