The value of this group at work. Congrats on getting it fixed. We’ve all been there. Have a great rest of the weekend.

Glad you got your problem solved but, for future reference, I’ve never had a generator problem send me home. If my Kohler quits, I switch over to my back-up generator, the Detroit Diesel Series 60. A bit less convenient, but it’s always gotten me through.

I love my Good Sam’s Rand McNally 7730 as the main GPS. It gives me routes that are safe for the length and height of the bus. It also tells me where Pilot, Flying J, Walmart, and other places are that I use. It gives me weather, fuel prices, and much more too! But I also run Waze on a 7″ tablet that gives me real time user updated information on road closures, traffic, accidents, police, and more. It’s free and is a perfect companion to your normal GPS. Actually, it could handle your GPS needs all by itself, but for the RV specific issues. When I am in my truck, even though it has built-in Nav, I use Waze for my GPS needs.

Edit: Waze uses internet data. If you run it on a tablet like I do, you’ll need an Internet hot spot. I have that in the bus, so it’s no problem. In my truck, it uses data from my cell phone. If you don’t have a large or unlimited data plan, you’ll lose some of the functionality of Waze.

the NH State liquor stores on I-95 North and South. Us Granite State inhabitants need all the tourist money we can get!

The good thing about those state owned and operated stores is that they are right off of the Interstate and offer ample parking for any size rig (except, perhaps, the store at the Portsmouth traffic circle).

These stores are quite large with an even larger inventory of wines and booze.

But, do your homework and know your usual prices because not everything being sold here is less expensive than what is sold at the corner liquor store.

For example, my favorite, a Chilean Red “Los Vascos” typically sells for around $12-13 per bottle at the State stores.

I have found the same wine for under $10 elsewhere.

Anyways, a visit to New England is worth it almost any time of the year. Except, November, December, January, February, March and usually April, too.

That is, unless, you enjoy wearing Long Johns … 🙂

Cheers,

Ronald

Bill,

Mine are 12V.

I bought Truck-lite 21075R and 21075Y using the NAPA card. They are not exact duplicates of the OEM but I think they look good and a lot brighter. They likely have a 24V version.

Thanks for the help, I’ll try and do a little fishing before going inside to do a little de-construction.

Charles, the line with the purple tape on it is coming from the aux compressor. The spitter is your protection against moisture from the aux compressor getting into the converter portion of the pneumatic system and the solenoid valve is functioning as a check valve for the compressor since it is opened every time the pressure switch calls for the compressor to run.

As set up your aux compressor air will go to the manifold block, and there will be a line from the manifold block that will allow air pressure from the aux compressor back into the Prevost accessory air tank.

As mentioned in prior posts above the small spitter is your only protection against moisture from the aux compressor and the Norgren trap will not protect your house systems.

T&C, are you starting to narrow down what you’re going look for ? Geo.

I own a Bus with 4 rooftop units. I have traveled in almost every state in summer and have always been cool with one unit and dash air while traveling. When parked have never had to use all 4 units, only 3! My 2 cents.

Have owned bus for 8 years.

I have a friend with an 04 Vantare with 2 slides and OTR air. He just committed to buy a new 14 chassis which does have OTR air, and that’s why he is buying it.

But you are right Geo, not many were made after 03 or so.

Mr Mike

What kind of RV are you accustomed to driving with 600hp and 45 ft? We might be able to break it down for you better.

Mr PBG

At a rack rate of $21,5000 per week plus accessorials as MM said, I’d go buy one or at least get a Marathon or the Featherlite instead of the Entertainer bus Goss is renting because the operating systems will be more like to what you would get from a convertor.

Just a thought.

I think a member directory would be great. People should remember that the only Information available would be what you put on there. It’s not like your banking info would magically appear. If you don’t want any contact beyond the forum, just don’t put any info on it. I’ve ran a very successful and busy bus forum for over seven years with absolutely Zero problems with spam or privacy issues. It doesn’t have to be rocket science. And as shown from what people are already saying, there is probably lots more info about you already available from many online sources. Putting a name, email, and possibly phone number on a a ember directory of a small website would be the least of your worries.

iAlso, I never asked to join the private forum, because I didn’t know what it was or who was invited.

Just a heads up to Marathon owners of around my vintage, the new Atwood heaters have all the heat exchanger ports on the same side as all of the other plumbing, orignal ones were on opposite sides of the tanks! In my bus there was enough room to re route everything and Marathon left plenty of heater line, not a big deal just a heads up….makes things a bit more crowded but no big deal!
