Thanks everyone. Will try these suggestions to see if I can get the leaking to stop.

Thanks for the input. I understand that the top of the bus is the best place. I was hoping to get a specific location in order to avoid exploratory surgery on the interior in order to find a good spot. I recall seeing a “truck mirror style” antenna mount on the side of the front cap. It did not seem like a great solution.

Really, do we ever want to do business with anyone that doesn’t want to do business with us?
With apologies to my friend Scott, I wish he would join us and bring his coach:
Is that neat or what? When I saw it it had a white engine and it was sparkling clean. Bob G was there and saw the same neat coaches I did.
The coach in the center is an MCI, and that coach above looked like brand new, inside and out.
Not a single one of those coaches meets the 10, 15 or even 25 year rule, yet I would welcome any one to park next to me, anywhere, any time.

Good point on the RO Tank, it was behind the refrigerator on my Liberty.

It is not the output of the heater or the light bulb alone that prevents freezing.
The most important thing is the bay has to be well insulated and sealed. That is usually not an issue, but if there are open holes, such as to use for a sewer drain or a water hose they have to be covered. Then the water tank has to be full. It not only has to be full, it has to be full and getting some heat into it before the bitter cold weather sets in.
If the tank has 100 gallons of water in it, and that water temp is well above freezing when the temps drop below zero the heat source, plus the heat in the water is going to keep the bay temps above freezing for a long time. Then when temps go back up a little, the heater or light bulb will put the heat back into the water for the next round of cold temps. Prior to sub zero temps my water tank temp was 55 degrees. After a week where the temp never got above zero, and the cold temps fell to minus 20, the temp in the bay had fallen to just above 40 using only a 500 watt heater. As soon as temps rose to where daytime temps were in the 32 degree range the water and bay temp got back to around 50.
The key to keeping the entire coach protected however is to make sure the water bay and the coach interior never falls below freezing. Most if not all coaches have water lines running inside cabinets or pipe runs that are usually along outside walls. The cabinet doors should be open and there needs to be sufficient heat inside the coach to keep those water lines from freezing. The amount of heat is going to be dependent on if the glass is thermo-pane or single pane, if the coach is exposed to wind, and how low the temps will drop. As long as my first coach was in the barn, somewhat protected from wind a 1500 watt oscilating fan heater kept the interior at 50 or above. When temps were sub-zero for a week it got down to 45 but went back up quickly as temps rose.

Glad to hear it!

Glad to know Parliament will be in good hands and I have a trusted shop in FL!

The email to Blue Beacon was sent. It gave me a thought for all of you. If you have ideas on products or services that our members use or benefit from do not hesitate to contact those companies, tell them about PC and see if they will offer a discount.
Our standard practice has been to offer free advertising if the discounts are substantial and a benefit to our members.
To help them understand the benefits to them let them know we are 1800 strong and our monthly web site activity is substantial. We can provide them with up to date data.

This must be “pick on Liberty day”.
Funny, it is not marked on my calendar. Corey, can’t you do anything with him?

If someone will forward the email to Tom and I we can look into it.
I don’t know if it is coincidental or not but late last week I had a call from a fellow who represents a national discount program and he made some very impressive claims. I looked into it and found his own web site did not even agree with the claims he made. It turns out the promised discounts were not available to the extent he claimed because he neglected to tell me (and the site is silent on) the fact the program is a credit card so the base price is the credit card price and all discounts are from that.
He made further claims about how the program is accepted by all, yet in fact it was not. I also found out users of the program had difficulty with errors and had problems getting service to correct the errors. Some users were so frustrated they dropped the program. The bottom line is the program had only one strong benefit to it, and right now Alicia and Brian of Profit Tools are working on adding that benefit to our program. We will make that announcment as soon as possible.
My point is simple. Make us aware of any programs out there and Tom or I will investigate fully, and if it will benefit PC members we will make you all aware. We spent a long time investigating fuel discount programs prior to working with Alicia to create the current one. Our growing membership numbers now attracts far more attention that we got earlier, but so far no proposals come close to the benefits we have with the existing program.

I’ve owned a Prevost since May of this year, I’ve watched Peter Campbell dump his black water tank at Jeff’s once, made arrangements for the oil pump belt on George Prentice’s race car to be retrieved from the Kink at Road America and now I’m mentioned in the same sentence as those two guys. I’m humbled.

Wow, great post Double K. I got complimented by being lumped in with guys like Dick and Peter when I know next to nothing and then screwed on the “Dumbass Matrix”. Well done.

Jon, Tom, do you know what kind of time period you are expecting before you hold another seminar, or what might be your objective of time period based on the demand that you are seeing and the availability of the venue.

Thanks Peter for the explanation.
