My money is on a short in one or more of the chassis batteries. Had a similar situation with our coach at a fuel island in New Mexico last summer. Once we changed out the set of batteries that are wired to run the DD computer, we had a good start. Replaced all 4 batteries, and has been fine ever since, but sure had me scratching my head for a bit. And I don’t shut down at fuel islands anymore either.

Took a trip down memory lane watching your cowboy video. No surprise….. I could identify most of the cowboy

stars.

Thanks, Okie

UK Guy: Leave the coach with Jeff Rowe. Fly in and out of Knoxville (or Nashville) when you want to go on trips. He’ll have it prepped and ready to go when you arrive. Live him a list of things to do when you’re done. Simple, reliable solution.

Something like the “Angie’s List for Prevost”. Allow customers to post reviews and experiences.

Thanks everyone, I appreciate your help. We’re out ‘n about in the bus for a couple weeks. Everything’s working perfectly! 🙂

[Dale]

Once again I am humbled by your generosity and wisdom. Thanks, I certainly look forward to meeting you in September. I will try to hold my Q & A sessions to between cocktails!

The Auto-Awn’s, troublesome as they may be, is certainly not enough of a reason not to buy a coach so equiped. originally was merely pointing out that Liberty up to ’06 used them and some Royales. All conversions have something that isn’t perfect.

I would embarrassed if I owned Zip Dee and put out an inferior product. They should have a retrofit for the troublesome units that they sold.

Thanks Tom…

I tried to call Hal this pm at 4 their time but got recording so I left him a message… guess he’ll call back on Monday.

Thanks, Diane

It looks like pressure balancing may have multiple definitions.

A typical shower control valve is a pressure balancing valve. These limit the mix of hot and cold water such that when the shower control is set to full hot there is always a mix with some cold water, if set to do so. This mixing or pressure balancing valve does not measure water temperature or water pressure.

A balancing valve that regulates hot water output based on both the pressure of the cold water and the output water temperature of the valve is typically referred to as thermostatic mixing valve. Thermostatic mixing valves were rarities, I think, in residential applications in times based, but appear to be more commonplace now. This is driven by the desire to get hot water to no less than 131 degrees to eliminate bad stuff growing in the hot water tank.

FWIW, this is on my to-do list. I put one on my last coach to protect my grandsons.

KOA nashville for sure! It’s the only place large enough and without trees. We are there now and will depart on Saturday, June 28.. Ask for a premium site and you will be just fine!

I did the same thing to mine except I used the Male end, instead of the female disconnect.

We have a Craftsman Dick.

I replaced my Microphor L-220 electric toilet with a regular RV toilet just a few days ago… Or better to say that Jeff did it. It just wasn’t worth the risk or spending a lot of money on a 20 year old discontinued toilet that could likely break again. Talked it over with Jeff and went on the search for a regular toilet. Works like a charm! I didn’t find exactly what I wanted, since I needed to do something right then. I ended up with an Aqua Magic V, high profile, water saver, hand flush. I wanted porcelain but no one had it in stock. The one I got was $150 on sale so I can always get a porcelain one later. But at least I am on the road with a working toilet now.

Gonna hold off on this until tomorrow when Detroit is open and I can get more coolant! I noticed after my first trip home a very tiny drip from the water pump area, maybe 10 drops of coolant after the bus had sat over night and cooled off, never when warm.

There is a short section of hose between a hard tube and water pump, one clamp was a little on loose side, snugged it up but leaking worse now so I investigated some more.

Looking from underneath I see coolant flowing down from top of pump, but weep hole area is dry (good thing I think).

This is looking from the ground up towards water pump….

I was somewhat able to get my hand around the backside of the short section of hose you can see to the right of this photo…the larger blue hose you can not make out well:

backside of that is pretty wet, so I suspect an issue with that bit of hose. So before I hit the road next week gonna try and flush as much coolant as I can, sort out the tiny leak and hopefully find no other issues.
