Lost charge on my generator back in 2009 while in Maine. It’s only an old Ford style that is no longer available. NAPA said 3 days and they could have one for me. Too long as the cavavan of Prevosts were pulling out from an overnight dry camp the next morning. Its no 4:30 PM, no source for new/replacement alternator so I ask the NAPA counter guy, “Any rebuilders nearby that I can get to before they close for the day?” Here is the answer he gave me:
the starter shop
101 Western Road
Warren, Maine 04864
(207) 273-2161
If you have problems in the area this is a go to shop for repairs off the vehicle. The location is posted on PC Maps.
The shop had all descriptions of generators, alternators, and starters on the shelves and the counter. The owner took my alternator to the work space, tested it, diagnosed it and had the parts to perform a total rebuild. Now we are talking about 5:00 PM so I asked if there was any way possible to get it back at 9:00 AM tomorrow. He told me to be at the shop at 9:00 AM and no later. I got there about 8:30 AM and the alternator was ready for me to pick up and reinstall. It is still working 100% problem free today.

I’ve had them both…OEM.

Looks pretty good, are they also doing H3 windshields upgrades 4/2 ?

I believe Vantare builds its own slides using HWH mechanism. Geo.

Good project Don.. FWIW, you don’t need extended life coolant in your generator, it doesn’t have wet liners. It sure won’t hurt, but I don’t think there is any benefit. If I’m wrong, we’ll hear about…..

Current Prevost slides are called “pinless” slides but in reality they have a single pin in the center of the floor.
Vantare has made its own slides and has used HWH slides. I would not be surprised if the slides were not Prevost slides. Prevost slides do not have a flat floor.

Jon & Tom
I think I can answered both of you within the same response.
1. “General maintainence” when it comes to these types of jobs (i.e. valve job, turbo change out, water pump, and air compressor etc.) we typically can complete most of that work without taking the engine out. So depending on the coach, we usually have enough room to wiggle in and get the job done.
2. For in frame overhaul on a a Series 60 EGR, we will pull the engine out far enough to complete the following items.
S60 EGR basic in-frame overhaul with genuine Detroit Diesel parts
(6) complete cylinder kits, cam bearing shell set, cylinder head bolts (38), thermostats, oil pressure regulator, oil pressure relief valve, In-frame gasket kit, lower end bearing kit, lower main bearings/shells, upper main bearings/shells, connection rod bearings/shells, thrust washers, oil pan & rocker cover gaskets, grommets, 10 Gal. of oil, (2)oil filters, (2) fuel filters, complete tune up, Magnuflux Head, Magnuflux Block
3. And of course for a complete engine remanufactured job, the engines comes completely out for obivous reasons.
At the end of the day we really don’t want to go inside your coach. And we have been doing this for so long that we know how to get into all those tight spaces to allow us to complete the worked needed for the jobds that don’t require a full engine pull out.
I hope that answers your questions. please feel free to reach again if needed

Btom, unfortunately your set up is most likely different than what Mark described. You probably have the same set up that we do which means that the sensor is internal in the rear end housing. It is in the thousands to fix and as far as I know does not affect brake operation, but we, as you are stuck with the light. For us it has just become a familiar little friend. Geo.

If someone does too much of the “legal” stuff up there they won’t care how clean their bus is anyway.
Odd system at Tiger Run none the less. I should be looking at the mountains and not caring how clean my bus is even though it had about 10 pounds of Kansas bug guts on it.

Pres,
The best barbecue in Memphis, in my opinion, is the Barbecue Shop on Madison Ave. in Midtown Memphis.
The Bass Pro Shop at the Pyramid is an absolute MUST SEE! It is huge and has a hotel inside. I highly recommend taking the elevator to the bar/restaurant at the top climbing 28 stories (restaurant wasn’t open yet as of June). The views from the outdoor balcony’s are amazing.

Ah excuse me Mr. Motorola, but my “H” has no driver door.

Looks like Tom has been able to make it happen. Now the key is how to correct the problem.

Good timing Joe.. We’re heading to Maine for a few days after the Quebec Rally, so I’m interested in your comments. I have a friend with a fiberglass coach that just did Maine and back from Florida and he said the roads beat him to death.
