ART, re you getting out or moving up? I see your coach for sale.

You really need a 6 point weighing to get the accurate information you need. As mentioned, the left and right weights can vary by several hundred pounds and you must use the heaviest of the left and right weights to determine the correct inflation pressures for that axle as they both must be the same.

I guess they sit on pillows.

I have used Nationwide elastomeric on the roof of our 115 year old former Masonic Temple building with great success. Did the job 20 years ago and it has only required small touch ups since in the heavy winter rain of southern Oregon. Highly recommended products. Just be prepared to throw away your clothes and shoes as the stuff we used would not come off of anything it touched, including the workers who applied it!
Had much less success with the RV elastomeric coating used by a person who coated the roof of our bus a decade ago. That stuff did not adhere well at all and needs constant touch up. Likely was some sort of coating meant for rubber roofs in a can marked for metal roofs so watch carefully if you have someone else do this for you. Or, order this Nationwde product yourself and just hire the application labor

THANK YOU ALL for the replies
Have been on the road four straight days and late today finally arrived at our destination.
On day 3, the secondary tank stopped cycling excessively and held firm also throughout day 4.
Will be at our present campground for two weeks, then one day of travel, 12 more at another campground, then four days on the road heading back home.
Will see if it is truly resolved or re-occurs. THANK YOU AGAIN

Art, What have you done to make your bus air leak free ?
-
I’m glad I got the air leak work done on the bus before MY BREAK, I had posted on pneumatic that all 3 gauges have been dropping, And not just a couple of pounds but a lot. Bus has been parked for over 2 weeks. I’ve been home from the Hospital for 1 week today and I mustard up enough strength to go out to bus go in side and turn on power switch and lights and Primary and Secondary gauges were almost 120 psi AUX gauge was almost 100 PSI YEA!! and it has been cold and rainy, Under a metal poll barn so it still gets a little weather influence so not bad.

Anyone use a fuel additive to reduce fuel jelling in these low temperatures?
-
So the answer is a blown 7.5 amp fuse on what I have to assume is the heat control board. Lots of fuses on lots of boards. I feel lucky that I was able to find it as the fuses on each board nearly butt against the next board so testing by touching the metal ends of each one was not an option.
We had a nice warm 30 degree day with no wind so I could easily pull everything out of the bay and get access to the control boards.

Thank you I will give them a call

Your question is similar to “how high is up?” because a whole lot of information is required before you get an answer that even approaches reality.
The coach is almost 30 year old and mechanically it can be a total disaster or in relatively good shape. The fact it hasn’t been used in a few years is a clear indication some, if not a lot of maintenance is going to be needed. But the difference between a buying opportunity and a major headache is in part found in the selling price.
The information you need from the seller is the price he is willing to accept, and log books or records of the coach’s maintenance history. As a self described newbie you have to make a choice about whether you want a project or a well maintained trouble free Prevost.
There is a whole lot more needed to address your questions, far too much for this forum, but email me if you want to pursue this further. I do not do phone calls or texts.
