From all I have followed on this and other sites, the fan clutches seem like an expensive disposable part. Seems like I read about a lot going out even at low milage.
Any way to get replacement clutches more cost effectively?
My understanding is that Kitmasters is prevented to selling to the public due to their contract with Prevost. Hmmmm.

If you look ar the fittings underneath, it’s likely any faucet you find that’s to your liking at Lowes or Home Depot will work.

The rep for the owner said it was okay to run generator on road but to open door when parked.
Of course he wasn’t owner but a close friend as owner passed this spring.

I looked into it a few months ago. Can not be used on a dash air coach because of not enough air flow to both cool engine and the condenser. On the new coaches they have relocated the dash air condenser to the 4th curbside bay on an H and I am not sure which on the X3.
They claim 11 more HP available to the wheels with the new system, and supposedly better fuel mileage too. I was told that some entertainer drivers were boasting 2 mpg better.
I have seen the new setup and I like how it looks. If it did get 2 mpg better, it would pay for itself. Too bad there is no way to use it on a non bus air coach at this time.

Don, your comment on the bypass filter got me curious. I found this on the Donaldson site indicating that your DIY solution (primary + secondary) seems better.
TWO-STAGE FILTRATION
A two-stage filter design attempts to combine the features of both a full flow and a by-pass filter. The two-in-one design significantly increases restriction, causing shorter filter life and decreased cold flow performance. Poor cold flow performance starves the engine of oil during start up, leaving the engine temporarily unprotected. This will lead to increased engine wear that may result in premature repairs or even engine replacement.

Jeff et al, that is my bus sitting on stands I had made and actually sold two production runs of them, distributed at rallies at cost.
I continue to use them but there are other options also that I use depending on what I am working on.
I use jacks like below (this from Harbor Freight) by keeping the hydraulic portion all the way down and running the center screw post up until it contacts the chassis support point. The coach is all the way up on Level Low when I do that, then I can run the jack higher with shop air, such as to work on a tire. When extended hydraulicly I never get under the coach.
The key is to not use anything that can fail which is why for chassis support I only use the fail proof center screw post.

There is an inline fuse for mine in the steer compartment, that had blown on mine once before, put a new fuse in and it was up and running.

Dick, Dick, Dick, we had a deal made when they were here a month ago…….unfortunately it fell apart when the couple of pair of Judy’s shoes we were trading in wouldn’t fit Jo.

It would be relatively easy to use Prevost registrations to quantify the number of active coaches, however not all conversions are registered as Prevost.
My first two coaches on the title and registration were “Prevost”. But my current coach is titled and registered as “Liberty”. I have no idea why but when I registered it and the clerk couldn’t get the word Prevost to be accepted by the TN motor vehicle system he tried Liberty and from that point everything worked. We found out that day that Liberty was recognized as the coach manufacturer.
So if we tried to do a search of national registrations we would also have to include the names of all converters and their product name code, which in my case is “LIB”.
