BTW, most of us were SOB owners (usually multiple) before we got smarter. Geo.

OSBMXR,
I read the older posts as you have before we bought our coach. My wife and I are in our mid-40’s so probably younger than the average profile here and our kids are young. We owned 5 RV’s before jumping up to Prevost. Best decision we ever made.
- If all I knew were what I read here I would think that owning a Prevost is a constant battle and something breaks everytime I use it.
- Everyone on this site was a new Prevost owner at some point in thier career but how often do you see them becoming an ex-Prevost owner?
- It is a very rare occurance indeed.
- They are complex and it does take a certain type of personality profile to own and maintain one.
- My guess is that most of the owners on this site are tinkerers by nature anyway and love the effort to keeping these things in tip-top shape.
- It does take effort but the value in return out weighs the efforts.
Get one, you won’t regret it. -
Have great time guys

Current model transmissions have an upper limit of 300 degrees at which point the transmission control module will limit the retarder effectiveness as necessary to prevent the temperature from exceeding that value.
Karl, No need to worry about the toad. You know our Hummer and we have no problems with downhill grades even with that attached as long as we control the gears and speeds.

Just a thought, could be liner counter bore crack. I have a 12.7 at my brothers with same. Common on Cummins also. I have had the counter bore over sized, a new sleve, a new cyl kit and back togerher.
Good Luck

I get it (the ridiculous dbl. standard), but I’m old and lazy. Made my statements in the 60’s when I had a lot more energy, so now I take the easy way out. Geo.

This has been addressed previously, but when asked by any resort or campground as to the year of your bus, just say 2007. No one but us knows the differences. Geo.

I’ll add a second to Jon’s post. “_____ them and the horse they rode in on”.

Since that rule is meant to keep out beat up old Bounders, I personally feel it’s ok to bend the truth a bit. If your bus looks good and is not leaking fluids I’ve found any bus conversion is welcome anywhere. When I get that question while making a reservation I just say its an ’06. Then I don’t have to hassle with sending photos for approval, etc. The desk clerk never even looks at the coach at check in, and even if they did, they would not know what year it is. Same applied when I had my ’90 XL. I’m confident the parks would rather have a nice looking Prevost of any age than a newer plastic coach. In May I stayed in a park with a 10 year rule. There was a gorgeous home-converted Eagle Model 10 a few sites down that must have been 30+ years old. It looked better than most of the plastic rigs in the park.
