Tom,
it most likely is an IOS issue. At times the icons change for the threads. They pick up small advertisin logos. I can then log ou, close safari and relog in and they areback to normal. Im pretty sure its an Apple bug. It doesnt happen on IE.

Moe,
Do you have power to the bus while stored? That will help with the answers.

I started to winterize the coach, dumped the water and was going to blow out the system with air tomorrow. Then I planned to run anti freeze throughout but realized I do not have bypass valves on the 2 hot water heaters. So now I need to know how to handle not running 20 gallons of anit freeze into the water heaters. Also, if the water heaters are drained and the webasto is run or the coach driven, will that negatively affect the water heaters?
One other item I need input on I have a leak around the water pump on the motor. It looks like it is either the seal around the water pump or the drain valve on the pump. Is anyone familiar with this type of problem and if so what is the best solution? Have had two mechanics tell me to use some form of stop leak.

Heidi and I returned to Jeff’s place last night to see our freshly updated coach. Everything is done except some additional electronics programming and replacing a wheel seal which will be done Monday.
I am a custom cabinet maker by trade and we specialize in high end jobs so I look very closely at the detail. We had all the carpet removed and the new wood look floors installed using the same material that Liberty uses. We also had the sofa recovered and the salon tv replaced with a smart TV.
Jeff and his team have done a first class job. When you look at the floor, in the corners and around the edges, the workmanship is perfect. The TV looks like it came from the factory that way.
When I dropped the coach off, Jeff had a brand new sofa in his office for another coach that I really liked. I told him to just make ours look like that. Again, an amazing job was done. Our recovered sofa looks identical to the one I had seen in his office.
Hopefully the wheel seal and remaining programming will be done Monday and we will be headed south.
If any of you that haven’t already been to East Tennessee Luxury Coach are thinking of having any upgrades done to your coach, I would HIGHLY recommend Jeff for the work.
Hopefully I will get some final pics posted in the next few days.
Thanks again Jeff to you and your staff for such a nice job. Heidi and I are very appreciative.

Thanks, everyone. I’ll put them on all three axels. Jon, thanks for the insight about shocks. Since I get vibration in two distinct speed bands only, (30-35 mph and 60-65) I think it is probably coming from something that is rotating but I can she how worn shocks would contribute to the effect. My shocks are the originals, now 14 years old, but they show no signs of leaking and the bus has only 20k miles. I’ve been planning to change them next year, but perhaps should expedite the schedule. I see the Centramatics as a no lose investment even if I still need to change out my shocks to solve the issue so will give them a try first. Balance Masters looks like a good choice as well, so it may come down to which is most convenient for installation.

Bryan, we just installed them on the drives and tag as we re-tired. For an extra 1800 it was a no brainer.When we do the steers we’ll do them also. BTW we’re in Milwaukee, still balmy compared to Rhinelander. Geo.

My SMX control unit is in the kitchen sink cabinet on the forward wall of it at the top all the way back next to the outside wall.

Bryan, I survived Wis. winters for the first 48 yrs. of my life until I smartened up. I’m usually back home by Oct. 20 or so and now I remember why. God willing, we’ll be home by Nov. 20. Just want to make sure that we’re not forgetting anything as we are always in warm weather normally. Thanks.

Just as a piece of information the delam issue is really the cheapest thing to fix. I know clearly how expensive it can be because my coach was repaired by Prevost prior to my purchase. Mine was repaired to the process that was used prior to the rivet process being the final method used.
Even though the repairs were very expensive I believe them to be cheap compared to the loss of value if the delam issue is ignored, or not properly repaired because once moisture gets behind the panels or into the bays and the coach begins to get mold and mildew an owner not only has skin repairs, he has VERY expensive repairs to access and remove moisture damaged panels or floors and to get rid of the mold and mildew.
If a coach has not had the Prevost rivet repair process all owners of an XLII can hold off moisture problems to a great extent. Water will not be an issue if it cannot get behind the stainless steel panels. The only way moisture can get behind them is for moisture to get behind the trim strip that is just below the window line and which runs around the perimeter of the coach. I used about 3 or 4 tubes of RTV on my coach to seal that joint at the top so water flowing down the sides of the coach will be stopped by that bead of sealer, and continue down the front or outside of the band. The second area that I sealed with the clear RTV was the joint between the stainless panels. If moisture cannot get behind the panel at the ends there is no way there will be a problem.
I also will not allow anyone to use a pressure washer on my coach. I will do my best to not allow a hose or pressure washer to be aimed at the ends of the panels, possibly loosening sealant or being forced behind the panels.
I have seen coaches being washed with a pressure washer and I cringe because pressure washing can be very destructive. In manufacturing water jet cutting is used to cut thick blocks of steel. The principle is the same.

Blue Ox makes a cycle loader that might work. You can google it and see it operate loading a bike into a pickup bed.
