Just a few things I can guess at. The freash water tanks has an overflow elbow on top that should drain excess water out the bottom of the coach. Maybe the connection at the top of the tank is leaking? Or if you have the type of tank level guage that has sensors that penetrate the tank wall, it is possible the top one is leaking. Worse case might be a crack or split at the top of the tank. You should be able to see the tops of the tanks with a flashlight from the Aqua Hot side of the coach. You may have to revove some of the covers on the drivers side of the water bay to see what the real problem is.

I was hoping to get by with the first round of drinks at Jeff’s place, I see my momentary loss of brain function has much higher consequences.

Mine
is in the same place, but I have to remove a panel to access the
inline filter. The shut off is next to the water heaters and labeled. -
Peter, that’s what the sun is for………………….. sorry, couldn’t help myself.

Update on blower motor for 2000 Vantare at TGO.
A special thank you Prevost Community and especially to dukeflyer01 for coming to my rescue. Ever since joining Prevost Community I have benefited from the overwheming knowledge and willingness to help of all members. I have spent hours and hours reading the posts and articles. I was thrilled to meet one of the members and benefit from the community in action.
When I discovered the problem with the blower, I was sure I would get help through the PC community. Within an hour, dukeflyer01 had responded to my post and was on his way to meet me at the coach. After an inspection, and an offer to help with the replacement I was on the hunt for the replacement part. I was able to get a replacement at Grainger and was ready for my first Prevost repair.
Dukeflyer01 was there first thing in the morning the next day and we were off and running. I would have never attempted the repair on my own. As with any other repair, there were more things in the way than what we had to replace. After several trips back home to get more tools, dukeflyer01 had the old blower removed. After getting the new blower in place and reconnnecting the wiring with the help of his friend John the electrician to make sure all the connections were correct. Another example of the power of the Community and the willingness to help other members. Dukeflyer01 then gave me the opportunity to complete the job and do all the reattachment and reinstallment of everything we had to move and remove.
I have to admit, that it was a struggle, and that I was nervous, but with the knowledge and confidence of having the PC community behind me and dukeflyer01, I accepted the challenge. Of course, dukeflyer01 did return to check on my progress and make sure everything was done correctly. Everything was back in order, and the coach was ready for storage.
I would like to thank Tradewinds Coach & Marine for their gracious offer to help. If dukeflyer01 was not there, I would have brought the coach to Tradewinds without hesitation. I have been very impressed with Tradedwinds reviews and willingness to respond to the forum questions. I will try to convince my mother-in-law to bring the coach to Tradewinds for service when she returns to TGO in the fall. My call to the repair facility where she has been taking the coach for years was not returned.
Once again thanks to Jon and Tom, and all the members, especially dukeflyer01, that make the PC community the wonderful organization that it is.

I like Dale’s suggestion. I don’t expect Jon, Tom, or their Internet/Forum guru to gather the information. It would be up to use the member to populate the information about us and our coaches to the extent we want to share it. I look to Jon, Tom, or their Internet/Forum guru to provide us with the fields, an entry screen, a screen for view, and hopefully a way to search.
I realize that Jon and Tom have limited resources. They might consider a poll for members to respond to so they can gauge interest. If there are only four or five of us who would put our information out there, then its not worth their effort.

Enjoyed the Charlie Brown UTube Jon,
But the only way a spammer gets your phone thru a profile is “if you list it” which I think, for the most part, members on PC would not list their cell.
Agree with Dale that it’s simply adding a few fields on our current profile and making it accessable to other members or, include a check box that other members cannot see your profile.

There is no Prevost with 3 or more slides with Prevost installed over the road air.

I am quite interested to see what others can contribue to the helpful topics in this initial thread. Some specific questions I have as it relates to comparing the various conversion companies are the following:
1) It appears that some converters reguarly produce 4 slide models, while others only build double. The core chassis is the same correct? Are there disadvantages to having more slides on this chassis?
2) I’m accustomed to having 600 hp in a 45′ rig; does anyone find power to be an issue on long grades?
3) Custom-built RV chassis (Newell, Foretravel, etc) seem to provide a lot of flexibility on floor plan and overall layout. Is a similar level of customization possible with the Prevost conversions?
4) I’ve done some reading on prevostcar.com comparing the H3 and XLII. Curious on those with experience between these chassis on the various pros and cons
Thanks,
Mike-

I am using beads in all the tires on the bus now, used beads on last bus I had, used beads on several big trucks, used beads in 33″ tires on 2 different Jeeps, have never had a problem and always a smooth ride.

Thanks everyone. Sorry did not answer sooner but drove 2000 miles. Now have more pressing issue with major tranny problem.

I’ll swim upstream……
Forget Silverleaf. Go to ebay and be patient. Eventually you will find a Nexiq reader with the right software. If you get lucky it will also include software for DDEC, the ABS system and the transmission.
I have no idea why you want to drive down the road and know your turbo outlet temperature or every system pressure but if that is why you are buying a Silverleaf go to the next level and ge the device that can not only diagnose the faults, but you can reset them.
I just pulled the one above for illustrative purposes. It likely does not have the right software. I had $500 in my previous one with the correct DDEC software. I have $1000 in my present one but I have ABS, DDEC V and a couple of other software cartridges with that one. Each bus has a plug in at the dash and the engine.
BTW, replacing the dash is a CC specific issue. I know of no other conversions that will need that.

Thanks to everyone. I will call ahead and get the code.
Getting south of Jacksonville and avoiding the morning rush hour traffic sounds like the right objective.

Yeah, but you won’t see any in North Chicago. Geo.

Again, Jon is right about Florida….ground zero pretty much for used Prevo’s. You are likrly to see more Vantare’s at Donny Meyers than in Virginia. Geo.
