As long as level low is working my suggestion is to remove the automatic feature.
As to the tag axle dumping air let me half in jest suggest a cheap fix. I know you are a smart guy and can see the partial merit in what I suggest.
Your valves that either maintain the open path between the drive and tag air bags, or lock the air in the drive air bags and exhaust tag axle air bags depending on the accessory system pressure likely coming into the plunger control of the spool. As long as that line is pressurized the valve will not shift to exhaust tag axle air bag air.
So the key is to keep pressure on that line. Lets assume you know for sure that line is leak free. In other words if it is pressurized it is not the cause of your accessory system air loss. If that is a true statement install a solenoid valve in the supply line to the valve actuator. It needs to be a continuous duty normaly closed valve. So when the valve is not powered it is closed, and you maintain pressure to the valve actuator. Tie the valve to a “key on” circuit in the chassis electrical system and any time you run the coach the solenoid valve opens and the system functions as it should as if the valve was not there.
Problem solved with dumping tag axle air. If you have a small air leak at the valve actuator which I would almost bet is the case, insert an air tank in between the solenoid valve and the tag / drive axle three port valve actuator. Of course the bigger the leak the bigger the tank, but what the hell, Harbor Freight sells 80 gallon air tanks.
See what happens when I am allowed to think?

Jimmy,
I have no interest in calling those morons while traveling during the year, I would be making that call almost every week during 2 – 3 months in the summer alone. I want the east coast feed like Tim has.

Isn’t it only a question of time when nobody will use satellite or antennas, but will be watching shows, news, listening to music, etc. from devices like MiFi or phones?

Is it coming from the air operated door lock?

The coach we just purchased has 4 Cruisairs, which I had on one of my Bluebirds. Plus,have OTR air, and after the wifes’ surgery recovery,will be heading to Prevost in Ft Worth to get stuff fixed

Wow Jon!
.28 gallons per hour is unbelieveable if you’re running all four A/C’s. When I did that for a 15-hour stretch, I averaged .82. I’ve averaged .25, but I didn’t run my A/C’s.

Some house systems use the same approach to provide the multiple voltages some conversions require. Later model coaches usually use 24 volt house systems, with 12 volts being available for those devices only available in 12 volts.

It should be going to the batteries with all three connections, 24V,12V and ground….

B.B. King’s 1957 Starliner was the first off the line, but it was stolen in 1966. It’s suspected it was sold off for parts. King’s bus was serial # 30926 and my bus is # 30955. Here’s an interesting story of the remaining Flxible Starliners:

Tim,
Also some AC sytems make noise. Your refirgerant in the evaporator is trying to boil. It is pulling heat from the air through the evaporator coils to accomplish that and that is what drops the temp in the evaporator coil so the air passing through it is cool. As it turns the refrigerant into a gas from a hot liquid refrigerant you might hear a gurgling sound.
The advice you got about a potential blockage in the drain pan is good advice

I agree with TXPrevost comment about it having wheels, but looking at the storm map in the first post, since pontoons are not yet an option on coaches, if you were located in Florida, there was no escape route as it blew through the entire State.
FYI, that was one heck of a storm and my house’s standby generator came to good use for a few hours.

I second the recommendation for the Garmin RV760LMT

Yes, judging from one picture with signatures clad wall here, I do believe this place sees a fair numer of entertainer coaches (Whoopi Goldberg’s was here when I was here two weeks ago). I probably should have pushed them a little harder on working around the Marathon water system. I have an appointment later this afternoon (if I can get there, running out of time waiting on this service to be done) at Risco RV in Farmingdale, NJ. Risco is who Prevost recommended to work on the diesel leak issue. Prevost did track the leak to the float mechanism, they just can’t access it, they claim, without removing the water system. They don’t want to remove the water system…

HAPPY BIRTHDAY !!!!! Congratulations to you Admin Guys and the passengers who back you up. The service you do for us all is not only entertaining it’s invaluable for any Prevost Owner. Thank you.
