In my coach I can adjust the inverters to charge at 30 amps at 110 volt but really they don’t ever go over 20 amps per leg so a 6-7K generator should be adequate.if you can adjust the amperage down to 15 per leg a 5K should do it with a little to spare.

The issue with this presentation by Tesla (from my personal view) is whether or not Tesla can actually do what they say they can do… and Wall Street analysts are VERY mixed on this guy’s credibility. You have to give Tesla credit… look at the progress to date…..but then look at the odds of success…… the answers seem to come so very easily for this fellow… he has Mr Market in the palm of his hand and is wringing every dollar out of it. ….It was recently estimated he needs about $1.5 billion to shore up his books and continue …his burn rate is extreme. (I am not certain but I believe it is somewhat below a quarter billion per quarter).. and as I understand, he has somewhat over $1.25 billion in cash and using up the store at an alarming rate… I do, however, believe he can raise money in the foreign markets… he has that promoter’s touch… and history shows he has a great story to tell…and he tells it well…
I would like to know who is overseeing Tesla’s Governance… if I were they, I would be extremely certain no material facts were intentionally omitted… when the guru goes unquestioned…. we get the Enrons of the world with which I am all too familiar.
We produce oil and natural gas and I am comfortable with the cost structure for the foreseeable future… particularly for natural gas….the basis behind that comfort is a huge thorn in the side of all of these potential programs…solar and wind…the only way for programs in the alternative energy realm to be assured long-term is two fold: 1.) the tremendous underwriting by our tax dollars must stay in place… (solar tax incentives go a way in 2016.) unless reinstituted…and 2.) the price of fossil fuels needs to be reasonably high…. I believe we get there…
Don’t know why I am so concerned about these products and the Tesla venture… but I can’t put the pieces together…

Dean,
I am not going to suggest I understand your slide which might be the same generation as mine. I would strongly urge you to contact Prevost and they will walk you through the emergency slide retraction proceedure for your specific version.
Having said that my coach has a manual seal deflation valve that I turn 90 degrees and that deflates the seals (both). I also have two valves that control the front and rear pin retraction. I turn them When the slides are out the pins should already be retracted, but I turn the valves to insure they are not going to engage. Then and only after I am assured the seals are deflated and the pins are retracted do I use the pendant to manually move the slides in (or out)
Having said that you should only move the slides with the coach in the road or driving position.
This is a good place to get advice, except you have to understand the potential for very expensive damage is so great when manually moving slides nothing said on here should be done without talking to Prevost.

I am surprised by some of the responses you guys got when you queried the seller! I figured the Prevost badges were kind of a gag or light hearted addition not a serious thing where they were trying to pass off the plastic coach as a real Prevost.

I was going to bid on it….

My memory not being very good anymore, I’d like to correct a previous statement.it wasn’t a 2 x 2 that I used to remove the rings. (That’s what I was going to use, but found it to be too small.) I used the plastic top of a bug spray can with the tape that was almost as big as the rings. Yesterday, I found the can with the tape still on it. I apologize for the error.

If you go to their website, you would quickly discover that something’s not right that this RV company is selling this RV at $300K when most of their RVs are trailers below $20K. Looks like a CC product, but I’m sure Prevost could look into legal action.

Here’s a CC Lexa with the 515 Cat Engine advertised on RVTrader for $90K less … since they forgot to glue on the Prevost logo!

I couldn’t even watch all the way through. The only thing Prevo is the emblems. I sure hope some poor soul doesn’t buy a plastic CC on a gillig chassis thinking they’re getting a Prevost. Geo.

Our shower is the sme size as yours, making it impossible to fall down. Therefore….very safe. Geo.

Thanks for all your input.
This morning, soapy water confirmed a leak at the air conditioning compressor bellows. The other two that run the radiator fan, and the regulator, don’t seem to leak. But since they are all tied together, fixing the AC one may result in a leak at another one. So I just ordered three anyway from Prevost Parts since they were on sale for thirty bucks regular forty-four.
-
Thanks Tom for that thought. I’ll try it tomorrow.
I think the Prevost part number for the belt bellows is 95-0208. Prevost is having a sale on them now at $29.95. Still looking for the regulator though.

Thanks for responses. Everything you say makes since. The air pressure on the pancake tank holds steady which explains why the Aux compressor on the Marathon side doesn’t cycle too frequently. I am very happy about that. While at Marathon a few weeks ago they had to replace a valve on the drivers seat due to the seat adjustment not working properly. I have a hunch, as Jon said, that that is where my problem is. Having said that, it doesn’t sound like anything that I need to loose sleep over. I may have Jeff install a shut off valve to the seat that I can use when I shut the bus down. Thanks again for your help.

As said before DO NOT GET SILICON ON PAINTED SURFACES as it is super hard to paint that area if the need arises, even the wind will carry it so do not spray on a windy day.

We’re both right. 3rd bay on an XL, 4th on an H. Geo.

Boteral,
I’m intrigued by Marathon option #156937542. I wonder if that could be retrofit to my bus???
