Been awhile since I’ve been there. But was nice then.

I just had to respond to this thread, First congrats on all the new bus owners, whatever the conversion, As for Megan and myself every trip is an adventure, We look forward to every one planned or not, as far as repairs they are nothing compared to the satifaction you get traveling in a Prevost. I am especially fond of every trip you never know when it could be your last, We are getting some upgrades done at Jeff Rowes shop in a week or so, new floors and several other things Yea it will cost but will add much pleasure to our travel experiance, I think we will be going to Subway for lunch in the bus tommorw, we do this often 60 mile round trip but still fun! I guess the old saying ” you have to pay to play” is somewhat true in a bus but again the memories are worth a lot more, My two cents, Gary

I will use 30 amp 24 volt for it and wire it in

[Dick]

it was the relay it was burnt. Melted so I need to put in a 24 volt relay and wire it in sorry Jeff did not want to bother you , thanks for your help

[Dick]

I’ll dig around the front end and see what works best for a mounting
location. We’re parked at Las Vegas Motorcoach Resort and there’s a couple H3
toads hanging around. Maybe I’ll take a peek at what they did. Blue ox
recommends the light bulb wiring kit, but after looking at it and hearing from
a few folks, I prefer the diodes.

Thanks all for
your time and insights.

I would suspect a ground also, probably between the instruments themselves and their ground point. You’ll probably find they are all ground wired together to a common point somewhere behind the dash.

Check valve available at W W Grangers in store or on line. Page 3643 part # 6D-914

The tank valve pictured is the replacement on my green tank. It might be a little hunting to find a narrow in length valve that clears the bay floor.

Jon, talked me into a custom valve made for high heat. I believe the Granger valve is rated around 200 temp deg. service. The red line on the brass is the check valve. I first believed that piece of brass was a coupler. Fooled me.

If you replace it every couple of years I think it would be fine. When they leak it discharges air through the compressor air intake. If you want to check it, remove the air filter, screw in a short piece of pipe, put a kids balloon and it will inflate.

You need to leave the balloon on for a couple of hours for a good test. After the balloon sat about a hour it inflated to walnut size.

Thanks for the info Rob! If you get time to post or email me pictures that would be great.

Hi, I have Bus 25 and I live in Wilsonville Oregon, Ralph Stading lives in woodland WA and he has a real Borgnine bus #10.

Also Dick Wright of NWbusNuts and BusnUSA and owner of WriCo international has had several Beaver Buses over the years and knows the buses well. He lives in Eugene Oregon.

If nothing lights up on the three panels I would check and make sure it is getting 12volts.

Are you saying you are sending the bus to Mira Loma to be worked on without you?

Hey Dean, which was stupid, the Mountan Aire or the floor?:)

[Dick]

Was Professor one of your many past accomplishments? Great explanation thanks.

Bernnie, Liberty puts all that stainless and chrome in other places, When I bought the bus it had a chrome toliet in it, which I quickly replaced, heck everytime I set on it to take a dump the reflection scared the hell out of me, now I have a toliet which has a foot lever and dumps directly on to the road, no tanks that are full of shit, but the driver might be! gary

I don’t know if there is a way to post a video but in the meantime, if anyone is interested, here’s a video of my anemic turbo boost. Ignore the first part where the gauge never moves. When you get to the next shot of the boost being at zero I will have punched the gas on a flat road. The gauge does not even start to move until I am doing about 5MPH and it tops out when I am doing 45-50 and have to back off the gas. The entire video is under full throttle (until it kicks back at the end).

That was what I was refering to FWIW. My 98 was a Factory conversion shell that I bought as a salvage shell > It has 1/4 screens on three windows and also entrance door (window 1/2 )and next to driver window. Nice little breeze when the weather is correct. My shell was a 98XLE. Converter not important anymore because I have changed everything. I don’t even know if new conversions have windows that open. Came that way from Prevost supplied to converter–1/4 window with screen still available. Bob
