Jack,
Cool deal, you will love it! If I were building one, I would definitely want to view as much of the process as possible, and take plenty of pictures. It will sure help down the road, when you need to know where something is, how it works behind all those panels.

I know a guy that arrived at Millennium when his shell did and camped there the entire time it took to complete the build of his coach, about 5mos. Geo.

Another benefit of centramatics. If you loose a wheel weight you have no way of knowing….this is not that uncommon of a sight.

Don’t know the answer, but be careful. You do not want the floors too slippery because walking around in a moving coach is hard enough without the added problem of a slippery floor.

One other issue I noticed is the auto dryer seems to spit all the time when the aux compressor is running, which in turns means the compressor never really fills the system and runs for extended periods of time. Could this be because the coil/valve issue on the level low system? or could the auto dryer have an issue (and it does this when trying to air up the coach while running as well).
Oh and Jon, just to mention, I have been reading through your Prevost Air System document in the articles, as well as a couple pages of Prevostman.com and hectors PDF that he sent me last year that was used in his video webinar. All very helpful resources while trouble shooting this stuff.

Jeff & Lynn, 2001 would be an XLII. H3 same from late ’99-’03. You may be hard pressed to find a 2 slide coach in that range. If you want to find the right bus for you by spring, you might want to spend some time in Florida this Jan. The reason being that you could attend Parliament’s rally(1/5-1/9) and then go to POG’s used bus show in Tampa 1/10 &11. When you are in that area you have the most access to used Prevosts within a 90 min drive as anywhere else in the country. The advantage to attending a rally is that you will meet and be able to talk to a wide range of owners and it’s held at one of premier facilities in the country along with two of the most knowledgable guys in the industry. At the POG show you will find 40+ used busses in all price ranges. Once in the area you will have easy access to Liberty, Millennium, Florida Luxury Coach, Donny Meyer and Marathon San Antonio. Geo.

Jon, thanks for the potential work around for the level low valves. I will hold off on that till I can see if I can get the parts on Monday and see if those fix the issue. Plan is to get all five solenoids (plus some spares) as well as the five level low valves (plus some spares). Replace everything on the level low valve rail and hope that “fixes” the problem. Then I will have Jeff replace the Norgren five port valves for the front/rear/tag when I see him in December.
Earlier this year (june or maybe july) I had jeff check the air system (both chassis and converter sides) for contaminiation. He didnt see any abnormal signs. He repalced the air dryer and put the auto dryer setup on at that time. It’s “spitting” water, so I am assuming it’s working. As I mentioned, when I open the valve on the bottom of the Norgren trap, no water comes out on that. When I am up at jeffs, I will have him purge the overall system again and make sure there isn’t any contimination showing now.

I take it The Lennon Sisters don’t do Country (of any flavour) then? Mr Earle is quite popular over here in the UK, probably more so then the regular country crowd.

Sweet! You’ll look like you have just driven off the set of Grease. ‘Jon’ Travolta.

I think he is one of the Lennon Sisters bastard child. He’s an ugly old ****-kickin rock’n roller song writer/musician who somehow talked Allison Moorer into marrying him. He also has a gig on SiriusXm

Let me be the first to say welcome to PC! I am in a similar boat to you, albeit I am from the UK and looking at a Prevost to travel the USA for six months of the year. I will let others far more experienced than me start to answer your questions, but what I do know is that you won’t find many people recommending solar. The reason being that you haven’t got the roof space for enough panels to make a difference if you want to use the bus as it was designed.
You will find everyone on here most helpful and generous with their support and help. I will be looking for something in the 8-12 age bracket as well. As many will point out, buses of this age will need work & updating unless you do your homework and take on board the advice you will no doubt be getting.

we got the leans fixed. put new compression fittings on. We do have a leaking lift chamber on the left side. Prevost replaced the one on the right back in July. I need to order a new chamber. Right now the temps have been below freezing at night. I am losing air as the bus settled in 2 days. I am figuring it is the cold but…. it shall be check again when we return to Commonwealth Coach in Hopewell VA. My heart interface inverters are only putting out 93 volts. We are replacing them with magnums. The webasto needs to be fully serviced. I was unaware of the monthy run rule. I need to know where to get parts. The learning curve is steep , expensive but rewarding. I appricate the communitys help.

Dick,

I have to identify myself as somewhat cynical about surge protectors. I already know price is no assurance something will work better than something else.
We have a whole house surge protector. About 3 years ago one evening we were watching TV and from the TV enclosure we heard a bang, a simultaneous flash of light, and then the unmistakeable smell of an electrical problem. The TV went off. The satellite receiver went off.
I checked the breaker and it was still on so I turned the TV and the receiver back on. Both worked, no problem. But there was a problem. The TV enclosure also held all the house audio equipment. We first realized the TV was not playing through the speakers in the room. Then we found out that not only was the big black box that handled all the audio inputs and sent the sound out to the rooms that it was toast. Literally. It had a hole blown through it like a welder had struck an arc. So did another device. Several others just did not work.
The system surge protector in the enclosure that was supposed to protect the equipment was blackened, and when you shook it it sounded like a baby rattle.
Bottom line is over $5000 worth of electronic devices has been exposed to a surge, either from lightning in the area or some other electrical surge. Neither of the two surge protectors protected.
I suspect if bullet proof vests were to perform as my surge protectors did I can be glad I am not depending on one.
But I still use my surge protector in RV parks, mostly because the lights confirm everything is OK.
