    If the pressure is higher than the others when cold (ambient outside temperature) it is highly unlikely when running it will be measurable hotter than others.

    Verify the pressure. Then if the pressure is a little more than the others use a temperature gun aimed at the same spot on all 4 drive axle tires to see if the temps are in fact hotter.

    My tires are set to the pressures listed on the Michelin tire pressure chart based on the weight carried and after running for an hour or more they tend to be all within 5 degrees of one another with the warmer tires generally on the sunny side of the coach. On a 75 degree day they are also about 15 PSI higher than the starting pressures.

    If any one tire is showing temps and pressures different than the others it has my attention. Different from the other tires means a different value for temp and pressure because each of my axles has pressures different than the other axles.

    Glad I am not the only one fighting this issue. Doesn’t happen all the time, but it does happen! Sometimes worse than others. Especially after ultra long tows. Was considering the new 2023 Jeep GC since they claim it is easier and then I have read the horror stories of all the tech on them. They are nice though.

    Prevost told me every 150k miles, but I agree with every 100K.

    Look no further than Prevost. Their busses come with one. I use mine for the RH blind spot. I point it down to the bottom corner of the trapazoid window. Geo.

    My advice is to build it on land away from home zoned for commercial or industrial. On one of my homes I attached a really nice 30’x80” coach garage to my home. When it came time to sell the buyer pool was like finding a needle in a haystack. Ended up having to convert it into a large bonus room plus several more bedrooms to get rid of it. Had I built it on industrial property I could have the size I wanted and build it the way I wanted. As long as you design it for future office warehouse it will always be in demand. Your investment will be safe. This is what I have now.

    Thanks for all the help guys! I did have a phone conversation with a Vanner rep and he was very helpful in getting me in touch with a retail outlet that not only sells the new Vanner model, but also works on buses and trucks with Transicold systems. He is out of Irving Texas and is very knowledgeable about how these systems work. It will come in some time after Labor Day and I will install it then. I told my wife that we might just go ahead and order/replace the ’95 Vanner 60-100C Voltmaster Equalizer while we are at it. Thanks again!

    I-10 past Tucson,Az to Eloy, AZ. Fuel up at Eloy. Take I-8 to California exit 118B. Go north on Ca 111 to Ca 86 north to Indio. Light traffic on Hwy I-8. Another way is take I-8 to Gila Bend. Az 85 north back to I-10 to avoid Phoenix.

    And Provost Nashville. I’v seen them work on some severely damaged coaches when we were there in 2019.

    February 1, 2021 at 10:50 am in reply to: Low pressure light

    This may not be relevant. On my coach I turn the key on and wait for all the check and stop engine lights to go out.

    Then I engage the starter and almost instantly after starting the low pressure audible alarm beeps and then goes away.

    It does this every time regardless of brake system pressures so it seems the bus system is looking for pressure, but until the pressure is verified I get the beep.
