    If you are looking for low hanging fruit, check CBs 19, 20 and 21 in the rear electric box. Verify they have power and have not tripped. They are for the DDEC.

    I worry about things I can control, like bringing peace to the middle east.

    I cannot control fuel prices so I either accept what they are and keep using the bus, or I use the bus less, or I sell the bus. As a percentage of the cost of bus ownership fuel is a relatively minor expense so in the long run it is just not worth worrying about.

    In terms of costs we have depreciation, insurance which goes up and down like a yo-yo, and repairs that are large and unforeseen. When the cost of owning the bus becomes a worry it is time to sell it.

    I am with Jon. I may get to 65 mph, but I try my best to stay at no more than 63 mph. I want to enjoy the ride and to get where I am going as safely as possible.

    Thank you. Some days I feel like I’m nuts for doing this, but we like the bus too much.

    That’s the old one I replaced and the new one that failed after about 150 hours of running (in Florida summer heat).

    Mike:

    Replaced mine about a year ago, BUT my cone was facing inward towards the steering compartment so I reinstalled it that way. Any body know which way is proper or if it even makes a difference?

    Art,

    How are two Raritan’s set up? Plumbing wise?

    Easy enough to find a residential low-boy water heater. I do, however, like the idea of going to a water heater specifically designed for bus.

    Art the truck shop one is probably only 12 volt and Prevost is 24 volt at least that was my case.I found a 24 volt fron napa for 200 bucks and only 1/4 inch difference in diameter, working great.sorry don’t have part number now on road.

    Where did they find room in your Prevost bus to install a “40” Gallon water heater ? A 40 gallon water heater is probably 5 feet tall .

    This is awesome… I remember the launching of Prevost Community and saw all the hard work that Jon & Tom put into it.I have watched it grow into what it is today which is something so great.

    Being a Prevost owner is NOT for sissies and I quickly learned where to go for help.. the knowledge and friendships over the years has been phenomenal and I will always appreciate and value that.

    Thanks so much Jon and Tom and your lovely wives too… you have made a lot of people very happy over the years… again many thanks !!

    A big welcome to Bill & Jessica on your new ownership you have some big shoes to fill but lots of good folks right here to help you fill them !!

    Cheers from Texas,

    Diane Byrd & of course Larry.
