Jon is so right, it is always the little things that catch you.
So I am putting things away for my trip home Monday from Oysterfest and I try to roll up my manual Zip Dee awning. It will not retract. So after trying everything I could think of, I call one of my PC buddies who is still there. He comes over and we have no luck.
Thankfully, Fred has not left yet and was watching us from across the street. He came over and quickly fixed my dilema. I had forgotten how the outside locking levers worked. I thought the down position rolled the awning out and the up position rolled the awning up. That is incorrect. The levers are down to unlock the awning so it freely rolls up or down and the levers are up to lock it in place.
I guess if I used it more than once every five years I would remember that little tidbit. So the moral to the story, is to use everything on the coach often enough to not forget how it works!

Davy,
I don’t know for sure if yours is a fantastic fan, but mine is. I would think most Prevost converters would use these fans. You can get the lid online thru fantastic fan.
I would use a fantastic fan cover vs the max air since it allows the fan cover to open more. However, if you never open it, I would think the max cover would work. Very easy install.
But I have another question, don’t you open that vent when you take showers to ensure you vent the moisture from the shower outdoors vs staying in the coach which can cause mildew issues?

Made me smile Joe, did the same thing a few years ago, made a nice platform using 2 saw horses and some boards and rebuilt the toilet as you did. The big day was when there was no water dripping after many flush cycles. I would have to get someone younger today to do the lifting though.

A few years ago having a late start found us in the panhandle of Oklahoma on Hwy 287 heading south about 11 pm. It’s a two lane road, just south of Okla/CO border, on a left bending curve our headlights spied a “trooper” off to the right in the weeds.
Minutes later, we had “flashing lights” in the mirrors .
Pulling over as best we could, (two lane road, single each direction) we stop. Seeing a ” form” moving toward bus door in the dark, I open the entry door window
.
The OK patrolman proceeded to inform us in Okla, it is “illegal” to have 4 headlights on, unless it’s snowing, rainy, or blowing dust. Our coach at the time was a “2000 era H” with two pairs of headlights. Yes, in the dark, with no traffic for miles we had the high beams on, with fog/driving lights.
The cop requested I accompany him back to the patrol car in the dark. Retrospect, not wise but I did as I was told
Reafirming the headlight rule, later I corroborated with OKC HP HQ, sitting cop car I asked if my untarnished driving record was to be dinged?
The officer said, this STOP, was between him , me, and his supervisor . Chris believed that the HP cop wanted in the bus , but since I opened just the entry door window, with barking dogs behind me tempered the cop
Who knows the reason, but we don’t travel Okla with four headlights on -
Thanks for your work and dedication Davy!

Isn’t Michael on triple PC probation?

Trying to sort out what happened for sure. Will post once we are able to verify what happened to these units.

Welcome, you appear to have a sense of humor, you’ll have a ball in Vanore.

Doubt that there would be much difference. Vantare uses a seperate “quiet” box, Liberty insulates the bay. Both are on air bags. Geo.

Terrific! … Thanks, Linda!

Mine is a 96 Vantare conversion and the fog lights were PIAA. They had two bulbs, one clear and one yellow.
I found a truck accessory place that said they could order the lenses from PIAA but they were very expensive. The lenses are glass and break easy.
I paid a little more and changed to Rigid LED lights. I could not be more pleased with the change.

Please answer the questions regarding the event.
Geo and Corey, good choice. You will definitely enjoy the event. Bring money, and remember when in the auction raise your hand real high and wave so they know you are bidding. Time to get a new toad.

Ronald,
You are fancier than me. I bought an extension mirror where the handle will telescope to about 48 inches. I pull out my 2 ft. step ladder and look on top of the slides. The mirror is a little small at 3.5 inches but I can manage to see what’s up there.
I don’t know why Prevost put a lip on the edge of the slide. It will catch things that fall on the top. I try not to park under trees if at all possible.
So, if we are under a tree and I find debris on top of the slide, I pull out my big folding extension ladder and use my extended handle cleaner and wipe off the top of the slides. Once done, I tell ‘C’ to put the slide in before anything falls down on it. I do this with every slide before departure only if we’ve been under a tree, etc.
I have not been able to find a longer handle’d extension with a larger mirror. I think mine was about $140 from Amazon.

It’s no surprise then Dick, buying a refrig is like shopping for a car. You know, power windows, power seats, floor mates all upgrades and all extras. Maybe that’s where the refrig guys learned to price on the low side.
You have to admit it’s a pretty slick idea and you never know about “oh you want shelves for all those runners” , until you own it.
