After going through this process, I would not hesitate to do it again. Once you get over the stress of leaving your bus in someone’s hand for 4 to 6 weeks, the whole process is pretty straight forward and Prevost has gotten pretty good at getting them through the shop. Mine took 140 hrs of labor, but some of that was for the replacement panel. Slide coaches probably take longer. I dropped it off on May 2nd and picked it up from the paint shop yesterday June 7th. If if wasn’t for the panel problem, I would have done in less than 4 weeks.
Both Prevost and Elegance did their very best and I think the end result is added value to the bus and piece of mind that the fix is permanent.

Diane I would appreciate it if you would send me your settings so I can compare to mine.

It’s AAP in Milford, DE.
Travis,
You really have a tiger by the tail with this donated bus. We can offer all kinds of solutions, but with all that you have going on, you’re going to spend a ton of money. I think you’re only scratching the surface with needed repairs and it likely will get worse. I know we’ve talked on the phone several times and it may be in your best interest to go in a different direction unless you’re able to handle all the expense.
You’re doing great work for needy folks and I hate that you’re experiencing all these problems, but a bus of that vintage can eat you alive with expense, especially with unknown maintenance that is now surfacing.
Sorry if I sound pessimistic, just concerned you’re heading down a costly road while trying to do really good things.

You’ll be back in full force in no time Gary, just take it easy and one day at a time. You need to get back in shape so we can shoot more clays this winter. Bus time is just what the Doctor ordered.

Karl and I spent waaaay too much time trying to get the front air bag out under the A frame, between the A frame and the bottom mounting pad. We never tried to remove it by bringing it toward us over the A frame. We had the wheel and shocks off so the suspension was as far down as it would go.
I’m going to GA to watch Truk take his out. I want to see his new rivet repair job anyway.

I checked again and I do have shore power. I turned it off and back on at the power source.
Generator is down right now so I don’t know about that.
When I disconnected shore power I got nothing at all at the inverter display inside the coach.
Everything works when plugged into shore power. Outlets work too. But none of the lights in the coach will come on at all. None of them. And there is no voltage readout at the panel.

Does anyone have any experience with Olympia Luxury Coach in Nashville, would that be a good place to visit. We are going to visit Liberty and Marathon later this year. Is Olympia more of a star/entertainer coach dealer being in Nashville.
Do people find that there are a lot of campgrounds which can accommodate Prevost, or does their size significantly limit access to available places to stay. I ordered the Big Rigs hard copy guide, looking forward to getting that.
Does anyone have experience with Passport America, Good Sams, or All Stays app..

I would check the switches out with a voltmeter and find out which terminals are normally on and normally off when the door is open. Seems like they all should be the same either breaks the circuit with to door open or makes contact with the door open.

Mine did same thing the wires in side the wire loom going to the bay door where cut from the door opening and closing they pinched in the arms of the door u might check there my coach is not the same as yours but might have something like that I had two doors that where doing that

Everything about a Liberty is not cheap…….but worth it!

Greg, it appears from the photo that there are mounting adaptors required.
I think an iquiry to Prevost parts will fix you up.

This Forum is a great tool for insight into the Prevost Experience. As others before me, I did not think the prevost experience would fit into our planned budget, but have since learned otherwise. The content has and will continue to provide great information I can see that.
I am watching post about the delam issue and they are very informative, and will hopefully show that the issue is being dealt with in a positive manor to all current coaches that are effected, which will generate a positive comfort level for future owners. I suspect the H-3 model being different is not effected by the delam and have yet to see any info of a potential issue of the same magnitude with a H-3.
I like the upfront honesty provided on this forum and I am sure that I will look for more information that will help me to make the best decision that I can. I like the info about a PDI @ Prevost Jacksonville. I suspect that to be an inspection of the Prevost shell or does that cover more. What kind of expense is known to be associated with a PDI, and are they something that is available in others areas of the country based on coaches available nationwide.
My wife & I cannot wait to start this next chapter of our life journey. I will have the indoor storage in Vt. by this fall and may look at having the same available in Florida soon.
The more research I do the better I feel, and more encouraged I become about this plan.
Thanks for the feedback, and THANKS for this forum
