Try your yellow pages under …air- fluid pneumatic.
Not to worry it’s a very commmon connector.
When you re-install cut line 1/4 inch past the old seal line on existing hose.

Bonz,
Is the data deal part of a package or can you purchase just the router and service as a seperate item and if so, any idea of the cost just for the Wi-Fi?
Thats a great concept Liberty has offered and like you said, you can’t beat 800 a month unlimited data.

Tom,
Just made reservations at Bella Terra. I guess this means that we’ll be there.

Bruce, You have identified the 2 biggest issues relating to boost on the 8V92. The short section of hose to the turbo boost sensor is important because the sensor is providing information to the DDEC and that affects how much fuel the engine gets when you step on the pedal.
The common problem with the 8V92 regarding lost boost has been experienced by a great number of owners of that engine. Your boost gauge is communicating to you when there is an issue. If the manifold does not crack (usually at the ears under the fasteners) it is a failed exhaust manifold gasket, usually blowing from beneath the manifold. Try to keep the areas around the manifold very clean because that is going to help you a lot in detecting the problem which will show up as black soot on the silver paint.
I think over the years Prevost had manifold pressure gauges with different upper limits. It might be worth a call to their parts guys to see what pressure ranges are available. I know I had one that measured boost in the twenties on my second coach. If you want to go all out you can buy (on ebay) a Nexiq reader with DDEC II software that you can leave hooked up to read every piece of data relating to your engine to the fraction of a degree or PSI. Or you can spend serious money and get a Silverleaf that will display that information on a laptop.

Well, it just goes to show ya, something can be learned at any time. I never knew there was a diff lock on any bus.

Davy, where are you located? Having been in the garage door manufacturing business for many years I can assure you there is no substitute for working with a garage door professional i.e. a company that focuses on and has garage doors as their main business. I can provide some suggestions if I know where you are.

Having done this type of thing at rallies it will work very well as Diane suggests. We all have to recognize that when we all get together the discussions will be most productive if they are limited to the Prevost chassis.
For conversion specific information the best way to handle that is the more experienced owners of a particular conversion should meet up with relatively new owners at a different time so everyone should be able to get a lot of information and answers.

Davy,
That is a great looking barn! I would surely like to have something like that in TN! I have rental storage garage in CA but use an RV park while in TN.
Enjoy it!

Tow a 2013 Ford Super Crew 4×4 and a 2011 Ford Edge with FWD at different times and don’t have to do anything special with either. Use the same tow bar on both. Just pin and go. Think the tow bar is rated at 6,000 pounds. Have to get out there and see what kind it is and think it’s a Roadmaster 2. Lights just plug up also for vehicles. Had it installed and wired in Austin Tx. Don’t use a brake system and it seems like bus doesn’t know there back there.

hit the bedroom A/C button next to the bed and it energized. Thanks! I feel stupid it was that simple but I’m still learning all the systems. Again, thank you.

I have not had a chance to drive it since i discovered the air leak. I am not sure if I need the air for the slide seals when parked so how could I check that? That is one of my concerns that my slide seals my leak water this winter while we are in AZ. I believe that the only air devices that I have is the step cover slide. I am not sure about a check valve downstream I will have to check that if it does what would that tell me? The aux compresser will run all the time but not keep up so I have shut it off until figured out. I have always been draining the aux system and not been getting much water when I do until this happened. The way I discovered this is the aux compresser was running non stop and when I drained the air lines there was a lot of oil in them and the compresser was down on oil and had gotten very hot. So hot in fact that the paint had bubbled up on part of the compresser so I hope that it is not dammaged. It seems to build air fine it just can not keep up with the leak.
The concern I have is that I will have issues this winter while we are in AZ if I don’t get this resolved.

Great Post Jon and congrats on your willingness to do your own work. I too will try to do some of the thing you do only starting our slowly. I am wondering if trying to make contact with a “bus” company locally and maybe arranging to use some of thier expertise and facilities for a fee to do some of the work that might require a pit or lifts. Just a thought or maybe retrofit a small warehouse with a few other Coach owners to do it yourself facility like a Coach Condo for Repairs. I think out of the box too much. Thanks for the post Jon.

Those look like the end of the XL window rods for pushing open the windows, but never saw red, so that’s a long shot.

I am not an expert, but based on the fact both are Shell straight weight oil I suspect they are compatible and acceptable.
A Detroit dealer should be able to confirm this.

Been there done that… when we bought the Vantare ours was barely cooling so we decided not to go through the aggravation of repairing an OLD refrigerator so found the perfect 3 door model at Sears and in 3 hours it was in and ready to go.. no more aggravation and an easy in and out of an H.
Cheers, Diane
