We bought our 2004 last year and had liberty check it out stamped astern before we took delivery. I brought up this issue to them and they say that they tested it with some sort of pressure test. In any case, liberty is known for being very good at taking care of their product, even if Pravo were not too.
All of the above typos are Siri’s fault. Just so you know.

ISRI does make a bus seat with integrated 3-point belts.

Fred,
I assume you’re talking about the valve
and they are mighty small screws. I suppose you could drill and tap, but
then you would probably have to drill out the valve mounting hole to
accommodate the bigger size screw as well. May want to think about
just replacing the whole assembly, at least you’ll have spare valves
and coils.

Is there any way to contact Vantare?

There was a family that crafted a home built RV and then took it through Europe with their children (3). Google “Shachagra.” They have a few videos on Youtube.
I do not think that it set the kids back academically. I believe that the oldest child is now at the Naval Academy.

DKO,
And, finally, there is this place
Which may be able to assist you. They are located in MI

Truk,
And here I thought from the subject you were there having some stainless repairs.
Hope you and Nancy are both well and that your stainless is all straight!

I had heat checking on both disks and drums. I never viewed them as cause to replace either, but I am not an expert. If I saw a crack in the disk or drum that would be a definite cause to replace them.
The brake check procedure I listed above is a less detailed version of the process described in a typical commercial driver test manual. The actual and correct procedure gives specific values for acceptable pressure loss over a one minute period. It also defines an acceptable time span for pressure rise at the end of the test to determine the acceptability of the compressor output. If you stop at any commercial driver test web site or test facility you can access the correct and complete procedure.

Jon,
I am placing the batteries that Troy recommended. There is no doubt that they need replaced after learning on here and from the Coach dealer in Nashville how everything works. If they had come close to working like they should , I was going to test / Clean everything per Yopur List. If Steps A,B do not pass , There is no reason to continue on to step C. I can now add the Webasto heat to My repair list , And I noticed that Prevost is running a special on that until around the end of November. ( Unless I just do not know how to operate it ? ) I can turn the rocker switch on the dash on, And the Green light comes on for a few , And then goes off. I have the Thermostats on switch to the on position with the temp turned up. I can hear a fan kick on under the drivers dash, And there is a fan that works in the Mid section from the Thermostat. But I cannot hear the system ignite , And cannot find any Exhaust coming from it.
BTW , I never got to talk to the previous Owner, Or I would have had a Million Questions. And had them give Me Mini Classes on all operation systems. I paid for the Coach before I ever seen it , Talk about a Scary thing !!! After purchasing it , And taking it to Prevost in Ft Worth. The Service Manager told Me that the Previous Owner was bringing in His OTHER Coach in a few days for service. It is a 2011 Prevost. He Has good taste in Tires, He had placed 8 New Michelin’s tires on My Coach within the last 5K Miles I would say. And left 3/4 of a tank of Fuel in it !!! I thought the gauge must have been tore up ??? Run it down to 1/2 and filled . Took 115 gallons. New Shocks also. So I was in the right place at the right time for once ! The Coach seems to be in Fair to good condition for the age , With the exception of the Refridgerator , Microwave and House Batteries ?
Having never even been in a Prevost until I stepped into this one. I really had no idea how to operate one. Remember that learning curve We were talking about ? You have no Idea !!! We looked at Class A Rv’s for Months about 3-4 tears ago. And ended up Buying a Cabin that was centrally located to Our Work instead. We came really close to Buying a new Damon Tuscanny W/4 Slides back then , I am now glad that We waited and ended up with the Prevost ! I have found this Forum to be PRICELESS ! With all the information and Help from the Other Owners, It has Helped Me a LOT ! Special thanks to Jon for all His Replies with His past Liberty knowledge !!!
I have admired these Majestic Beasts on the Hwy My entire Adult Life while Traveling ,Which I done for 25 years without ever being able to unpack a suitcase. It has always been My dream to Own one , And Now I do. So Time to get the Bugs worked out , Learn How to Maintain and Operate it , And Enjoy it !!! And go See Amurica ! The Red Woods , Yellowstone , Colorado , Montana ,Rushmore , Etc. And Wade and Fly Fish the best Rivers this Country has to Offer , And Ride the best Roads I can find on My HD with My lovely Wife on day trips away from The Prevost . And Play Golf on some of the fine courses this Country has to offer! And of course enjoy all the food from the different regions ! No concrete plans , Take 30- 45 days at a time and pick a general direction maybe. Stop when We want to , Etc. Will that ever happen ? Not Sure , But it is on My Bucket List !

one comment here; I have to pay tax if I go local at 7%: plus usually 2 trips to town $6 worth of gas and 2 hrs lost time. So I factor that time into price savings. When you buy Quanity like air bags local can’t compete. Bob Shop around

Tom, now look what you have done! 🙂 Or did you mean to add a mn and cut the le to my name?
Rick, I’ll post a photo soon.

I have owned my Avalanche since new, have never towed it (it is the 1500 2wd version). You can get a driveshaft disconnect device which works great, (just Google it). I have seen this device on my friend’s chevy 1500 pickup, it is very simple to use, about $1000 or so.

It seems to me that more folks travel with a pet than don’t. The pet usually gets preferential treatment, that is run of the camper. Many travel with more than one pet. Pets are after all part of the family and not to be treated like a pack of hunting dogs.
On the web programs like RV park reviews list the campgrounds and their websites, these sites list the park policy about pets. Very few exclude pets alltogether as this would have a sever negative impact on their business.
Your pets though must be leashed, managable and quiet (no barking or howling) in the park and you must clean up after them. I have seen several campers expelled from different parks because of their pets.
Some “crate” their pets when unatended in the camper.
A difficult time for the owner of a pet while out camping and the pet as well is when you want to go out for a long day and leave the pet back at the camper, possibly for an entire day, you must accept that there will be a mess to clean up. The scene is especially bad if you are in 100+ degree days and your campground has periodic low voltage and your airconditioning goes out. Unattended circumstances such as that are worrysome and problematic.
I will add this: Regardless of whether the electrical supply regarded as fail proof or not a pet owner must take into consideration the consequences of an electrical failure in his/her absence.

I have had valve stem extension failer i wont use them…..

The problems you describe are similar to one I experienced a couple of years ago. What was frustrating was it was intermittent as you are describing.
My solution after wearing out the experts with questions was to start at the batteries, verify they were all good by disconnecting all cabling and checking each individually. I cleaned and restored all the cable connections at the batteries. I cleaned and reconnected all cable connections at the circuit breakers and disconnect switches for the house. Then I removed, cleaned and reassembled all the connections at the grounds.
As they say on TV, “but wait, there’s more…….”. I then accessed the inverters and cleaned the connections and opened the cases and cleaned inside the inverters, verifying the cooling fans worked and were clean.
I spent a couple of days on the project, but when I was done problem solved. The inverters were putting out excess voltage and then shutting down. I can only speculate a bad connection was not allowing the inverters to properly “read” battery voltage and would put out more voltage in an attempt to charge the batteries which were actually OK.
This may have nothing to do with your problem, but I do know inverters need good clean connections and our coaches have many.
