That is a beautiful job,, the wood accents at the edges looks stunning. Did they glue the boards or nail ???

I have a 99 CC but don’t have electric shades in the bedroom so I am not sure.
Check behind the TV , in mine there is a lot of power connections back there.
Just about everything in mine is controlled by the fuses in the ECC cabinet with the exception of the windshield shades and the power in behind the TV above the driver.
Good luck.

Onan pretty much owns the S/S market RV’s when you get over 12.5K the largest Onan makes for the RV market then the other brands take over and you see all brands and like Jon said for some reason Onan never wanted in the 15k to 21k market for RV generators I wonder why ?

Thank you very much Peter. Im still trying to figure out our exact route but if possible we would love to stop by and meet you folks. And the beautiful view has nothing to do with our decision LOL. Where the hell is the beach though? Big question —- how did you figure out what Tom was saying ? I had to bring the guy that signed at Mandell,s funeral so I would know what he was saying. By the way TOM we say CAH and YAHD, and wicked Pissah and all kind of interesting things like that.
Sorry I got off the thread again ! Peter Im gonna go upstairs first thing in the morning and figure out our route assuming of course that you were serious and you send your address LOL No no ,you cant back out of it now, not after Tom sent that beautiful picture. -
Gee Dan
Your quote ($2119) for a Type 3036 (641181) is $110 more than my quote of $200.58 from two weeks ago. Wow!

we have had air driven pocket doors-air valves need attention. We have had coach house computers-needed to reboot, or shutdown whole when light switches did what they wanted to do
We had to go back to a much older coach to get manual operated stuff like pocket doors and hard wiring with switches and relays. When one quits. It a trip to ww grainger. We are for simplicity. Will the Emerald Coach still in Indio in a week and a half from now?

It’s CRS Red and Gil is just helping you cause you’re old….
Using Gil’s advice, I decided to just stick a coat hanger out the window. It picks up UHF, VHF, THB, CTT and Jon’s phone signal from his can and string.
Now this thread has gone south for sure.

George?…….As I stated earlier coaches have exceeded the weight limits for as long as I can recall.
Having said that, it doesn’t make it acceptable to exceed those limits. But owners and converter do and that does create some potential for future problems.
I attended the seminar when Bill Campbell, one of the Prevost Car owners at the time gave a scathing talk about exceeding axle weight limits. It was clear he was addressing his comments to the two converters at that time in the very early 90s who routinely built overweight coaches. His reasoning was simple. All the components pre axle were sized for the axle weight rating. He went on to list those components specifically including the Alcoa wheels, tires (120 X 22.5), bearings, brakes, air bags, etc. He made it clear Prevost would not stand behind failures. He had a very impassioned rant and made an impression.
It was after that episode and prior to the next rally that Prevost came out with the “Mae West” air bags which were larger in diameter and could lift more weight at a given pressure, and the double shock set up to minimize jounce.
He never talked about axle weights again and I suspect the converters in question got all over him for his remarks.
But the points he made were true then, and still hold true today. The limits are established by the engineers, and maybe influenced by the DOT certification process. But they are the limits and we who have coaches that exceed those limits just have to deal with them as we see fit, either by ignoring them, striving to meet them, or adjusting driving habits to help compensate for them.

I think Mark may be on to something.
And I agree if everything else has been checked and the only thing left is the wires or cables to DDEC then perhaps the easiest way to verify one way or the other is to run a wire bundle or cable externally from the engine and its sensors to the DDEC ECM.
Through process of elimination one cable or wire at a time can be verified as not having anything to do with the issue or to be the cause.

Mike,
Fantastic really good to work with, they’re known for great customer service and actually sending folks parts at no charge. You may want to give them a call since your’s is not that old.

FWIW…..Been RV’ing for 14 years and have never heard of them.
Ditto Mark….With red flag out the gate, a pretty good signal.

Darrell,
My 94 probably had the same pump as your’s, located behind a removable panel behind the steer axle. It was always very noisy, but worked well.
Liberty went to a Gast Compressor with my 01 and it is very noisey as well. It’s mounted in the center of the bus behind the entertainment center. It gets quieter the closer it gets to the cut out pressure. I have a spare Gast Compressor and when I operated it on the work bench, it was noisy. Just the nature of the beast.
Unless you come up with some kind of hush box, there not much you can do about the noise. By the way, these compressors make a bunch of water, so keep draining that Norgren filter.

Planes, buses, hangers and airports, don’t get much better than that.

AL are you talking about aux air tank on the prevost side , or the aux air tank converter put in???
