Mine is a factory non modified prevost. All coils are 24volt. Your converter might have modified system. But if you did not read 12 volt it apears that it is more like mine 24 volts control . I have a 98 XLE the e stands for entertainer. The app on mine is stock factory installed prevost. FWIW

I don’t know if it applies to my current insurance policy, but I know for sure that for many of my previous policies that I had a 5% discount because I possessed a valid Class A license with medical.

For those opposed to any government interference I cannot see a downside to one of the national RV organizations offering a certificate recognized by insurance companies for voluntary attendance at a school (such as a weekend course or maybe at a rallly) designed to test knowledge and driving skills. The course could be identical to what any state DMV would require.

I get it that RV dealers are not going to embrace any requirements for special licensing for people that buy a new RV or fifth wheel. I have a friend who bought his first RV which was relatively small. On his first trip he stopped to spend the night at a truck stop, and he could not back into the space. His wife went around knocking on truck doors until she found a driver that would back the RV into the space for him. At night. Now try to convince me he would not have benefitted from some training. We also made his wife aware of what the term “lot lizard” meant.

That was cold… What’s a camp locater?

Since I spent most of my working life designing and building metal products, and since I work alone on my coach I got a little frustrated when I realized what had to be done to replace the CAC.

I’m almost certain the Prevost engineers are never required to service what they design. I had to when I was in product development so I am particularly sensitive to designs that create excessive work for service. The CAC is one of those things and there is no justifiable reason for having to remove both the radiator and the CAC as an assembly. With a simple design change the CAC could be removed independently so you avoid having to disturb the cooling system, so you avoid having to handle a very heavy assembly, and so you avoid all the extra labor associated with removing the radiator.

I was very tempted to redesign the assembly method so if removal of either the radiato or the CAC had to be done in the future either could be removed without affecting the other. So in addition to poking us in the eye with a sharp stick by selecting a crappy component, we get to pay additionally for the lousy choice of CAC by getting to pay for at least twice as much labor as was needed.

Prevost………..are you reading this?

Good advice – thank you.
The new compressor is the final step.
I have already resolved many of the leaks. One of the major leaks was the old compressor,
significant leaks at the head and fittings, which additionally revealed the need
to install a new check valve.

I noticed the non-standard compressor I removed did not have
a pressure switch (on/off) installed, but rather just used the bus pressure
switch. Was this installation
correct? I would feel better if the
compressor also had a pressure switch – at least on the high side.

At 60K for that vintage, unless I could verify how it was used(i.e. sitting extended periods vs frequent but shorter trips) it would most likely be a non-starter for me. Also check gen-set hrs. Geo.

If you drive to Titusville FL the first week in Feb and come to the Great Outdoors Tom will give you a free one just for making the effort and to offset the cost of the diesel fuel.

Your dues will still remain at the premium level however.

Jon

Great visit today and appreciate the insight … Safe travels as looking forward to seeing you Di again soon”.

Thanks,

[Corey]

Boy, that’s service with a smile. Hat’s off and I don’t even own a Parliament Coach.

Propane is not likey to be found in any, or maybe just a few Prevost conversions. Aquahot or Webasto should not be an issue. Those are very common to almost all conversions. You will have to wait for other to chime in on which conversions would be a good fit for the model years you indicated.

[Corey]

Me to Jon this year I have put new parts in and a lot of those parts where bad if I had not been on top of it some of those may have got past me , that they are good and new , you have to keep your head up all the time!!!!! And check just to make sure they are good!!!!!!

I have three door mounted chair storage “bins”. All are covered with a gray carpet and you can have as many as you want. Whatever you don’t want will be available to anyone else.

All we have to do is compare dates and locations so you can pick them up.

Jon,

I’d like one of the chair bins if one is still available.

[Corey]

Thanks for the help…I’ll change my valve to closed the next time I’m down at the barn. I can add this one to my growing list of assists I’ve gotten from my PC tutors….ty

[Corey]

you got it Rodger

Hmm, interesting BA, must be Suncoast is on the forum and if so, it would be nice if they responded.

Or, there is a member that is sending them copies of the posts. Again, would be nice to step up here instead of hiding in the weeds.
