Out of the 3 coaches that I have owned with Kohler generators this one puts out soot and the other 2 did not,tell me why.

attaching my iPhone to a very long selfie stick. Then I use my telescoping ladder to get up on the roof and use a cheap yard blower with a rechargeable battery to clear the top of all debris.

The switch for the cargo light above the shore power connector just popped. The aluminum housing that comes through the siding is very thin and broke in two.

Anyone know the part number/ manufacturer/source for these?

[Dan]

Kevrhon,

To clarify are you speaking of the interior switch pad or the micro switches on the back of the ECC? I dont have the answer but can suggest these sources I have dealt with personally. There are others but I would start here.

1.Contact CC and make sure you ask for their Prevost tech. I have dealt with Kevin but there is at least one more with CC Prevost expertise. I’m in north Texas and there are two sources in my area, which are excellent.

2. Brandon Hulsey at Luxury Coach Service in Rockwall, Tx. and

3. Kenneth at Trawick Coach in Fort Worth (a PC advertiser). Kenneth is actually building complete replacement panels for an XL customer currently. I have seen them and when finished they will be incredible and far superior to the originals in form and function.

Buddy and Mike bought their CC XLs new so maybe they will chime in.

Had two plastic single sliders, one XLV45 two slider, followed by XLII one slide, an H3-45 no slider, and two 40 ft no slides. No slide way to go. Less maintenance, less weight, less cost. Less is more😀

looking into the gen set, this is to the left. Gen runs for ~25 minutes then this pop out and shuts it down.

i see no battery charging and no temp gauge increase. Oil pressure looks good. I can see and feel the fan running.

[Dan]

Jon,

Actually I thought you and Tom have been paying my bus payment since I joined too.

Could that be why I have been seeing the same tow truck in different cities where I have been recently?

Fan clutch/fan belt/belt tensioners. Less likely would be thermostat, clogged radiator, etc.

Brett,

Your question made me curious, so I calculated the mileage we got on our coach since we purchased it. Our average fuel use calculated over 20,500 miles is 6.8 MPG. However, this includes generator and Webasto use; we use the generator a lot in summertime, so actual fuel mileage is closer to 7 MPG. We weigh about 50,700 pounds and cruise at 68 MPH when conditions allow. Riveted coaches are probably 4-5000 pounds less, and XLs are not as tall as H3s, so you would expect better mileage on those. Weight has a big impact. Our friends with a Featherlite with one slide and weighing 5000 pounds more than us, get about 0.4 MPG less than us on the same roads. Also the dash display consistently indicates about 0.5 MPG less than actual mileage.

If all of the Liberty installed lights are not lit, it is a remote possibility all are bad so you should start by checking for power at the bulbs to rule them out as the problem.

If you have the AB system in your coach check to see if they are getting power through one of those relays and if so check or replace the relay.

What does Jeff or Liberty say about potential issues?

[Dan]

Ron, I never realized you were a dirty old man.

after doing some research, i found in a manual a schematic of my plumbing. I have a drain line running from my shower p-trap to the grey tank. It is about 2 feet from the trap to a sideways T fitting. The top of the T goes up to an air admittance, the bottom of the T feeds the grey tank. The horizontal part of the T runs to the ptrap.That is it. The air admittance is behind the bathroom wall along with a vent from the grey & black, those vents tie together and out the roof vent.

since i cannot get to the air admittance valve & the fact that it is 18 years old, i am left with one option. I can cut the line, remove the T, and run a 90 from the ptrap line to the grey. I can then cap the verticle line which has the air admittance valve.

Q: why would they have a air admittance on a 2 foot run? I don’t get it. The darn grey vent pipe is 6 inches away from where the T. connects to the tank.

im attaching a picture of the schematic. line 2 is the shower drain. Any thoughts?

[Dan]

Don thank you for your response and yes I tried but no response from your contact’s. Is it possible to contact costumer service direct or is there another way?

Thanks Fred and Gerald. The Jetpack AC791L that is a 4G LTE Mobile Hot Spot and it looks like mobile hot spots will be limited to 10 GB of LTE (4G) speeds before it throttles down to 3G speeds (Take a look at rvmobileinternet.com for some details.). This is fine for most stuff but probably not for video streaming movies.

The Jetpack will allow up to 15 devices to be connected to the Verizon network simulataneously through Wi-Fi but not to each other like a Wi-Fi router. You can, however, connect it to a router. I will eventually get a Wi-Fi router but at this time I don’t have a need for it. A cell phone booster is also a good option for the router but it means having your phone tied up as it needs to sit next to the inside antenna of the booster. The U620L is a different animal and I wonder if it us treated as a phone instead of a hotspot by Verizon?

Lots of options and getting better every year.
