Wow, charging for asking a question. I could have been a gazillionaire in the welding/fab business years ago if I followed that line of logic. Well, i guess if you get them (techs) off a project to answer, maybe.

Bob, I have never have seen anyone use the word cheap in the same sentence as Prevost!!

Looking at Brady’s ramps I was thinking you could make them in two parts, locking the two together with a rod. The flat parts fingers would interwine with the ramp fingers and then the rod would hold them together.

That way they would be easier to move around.

Steve,

Your steer and drive brake chambers are pretty standard if they are the Rockwell type disc (steers) and drum (drives). #30 on the front, and #30-36 combos on the drive. Check your local truck parts houses. Pretty cheap and all you have to do is cut the push rod to length.

I think the tags are a #16-24 which is difficult if not impossible to find, but relatively cheap if you get a #24 piggyback with a #16 service. Surf the internet and you will learn what I mean.

I haven’t bought that type of chambers lately but the prices over the counter from the truck parts houses compared to Prevost is close to a full tank of fuel difference in dollars.

Hope it’s not Pete but looks like another problem coming down the pike for folks with the newer coaches. Wonder when Prevost will start riveting coaches again from the get go as they build.

I just have a Blue OX set-up. Takes 5 minutes to have it ready to roll. We also are not using any AUX braking, we have been through the Rockies, through Utah and Cali with no problem braking. I actually installed a LED light strip that goes between the bumper and tailgate, ran a flat 4 harness along the frame from the back to the front with 6 extra feet that I store in front of the radiator, I just unwind it and plug it into the 6 to 4 adaptor on the bus and I have lights! I guess it’s OK, never been stopped for inadequate lights.

Here is the flyer for the BBQ event that is being held At SnF the weekend prior to our event. Tim and I attended last year and it was a great time. I probably gained 5lbs in two days. Remember you can stay on grounds with full hookup for $35+tax a night. Just call Tracy at 863-904-4014.

Thanks again called power tech two days ago but will try again tomorrow!

[Dan]

Please elaborate.

We will be there just the weekend before ….will miss all the fun, kids starting school….

[Dan]

Barb and I are sitting there now. But we’ll have to move on Saturday the 26th due to a rally coming in that booked the whole place. If there is anything I can do, dandarst@gmaildotcom.

Sounds good! I was reading earlier where you were referencing that you travel between Bentonville and Florida. Are you in Bentonville now? Springfield is two hours from Bentonville. So if we can put a plan together tomorrow over the phone we can scheule your service during your trip if you like.

When you call tomorrow you can either ask for myself or Danny.

[Dan]

Well guys you asked for a spot in the northeast without trees and I found you one.

Main Stay Cabins and RV Park in Winter Harbor, Maine is a new 3 year old, very small 9 site park. Full 50 amp, water and sewer. No trees to contend with. Just across Frenchmans Bay from the hustle and bustle of Trenton and Acadia National Park. welcome to the quite side. The Schoodic penisula is a part of the park without the traffic.

Main Stay is right next door to the ferry dock at the top of Henry’s Cove. Ferry service is available if you want to boat over to Bar Harbor for the day. It is about an hour boat ride with stops for bald eagle sightings, ect. Or you can drive over also about an hour.

All site are compacted gravel, no pull thrus. The site layout is:

#1 Back-in with the water view curb side, would be a tight turn for a 45 or maybe even a 40 footer, not recommended

#2 is also back-in curb side to the water, a bit narrow but workable

#3 is pull in and faces the water, good site for 40 or 45 footer

#4/5 are back to back with #4 a back-in and a bit narrow, #5 is a pull in facing the water and a good site.

#6/7 are also back to back with #6 back-in and #7 pull-in facing the water, either site is ok 7 would be preferred

#8 is a back in and has the most space, we liked it well enough we were scheduled to stay here 3 days and stayed 5.

#9 is a long term site directly behind #8 no one was in in while we were here.

Winter Harbor is on the Schoodic Pennisula and can be accessed from US-1, ME-186 is loop connecting, US-1 to Prospect Harbor, Birch Harbor and Winter Harbor. DO NOT access Winter Harbor from the south connection with US-1, there are low trees over the road way. ME-195 (Pond Road) is the preferred access route which cuts down the middle of the pennisula. Once you get to Prospect Harbor turn south on ME-186 to Winter Harbor. There are a couple of tight curves on ME-186 leaving Prospect Harbor just go slow.

If you travel by toad to Bar Harbor / Acadia, turn off US-1 just south of Hancock on Mud Creek Road, turn right on ME-204 and follow ME-204 to ME-3. This cuts off the traffic in Ellsworth.

Parked in site #1
