Update for anyone in the market.
Looks like the Toyos are up to $700/ea (plus freight maybe) and simple tire doesn’t show them as an option on their site. Any name-brand tire is $700-1000 at this point. I read that there was a disease in the gum trees, plus shutting down the economy didn’t help.
The Michelin X Line Energy Z Coach 315’s are anywhere from a grand to $1200 from most retailers. This seems to be up 50-100% compared to prices quoted here a couple years ago… The X Multi Z’s are about $50 cheaper. The FMCA discount helps some, but the best deal I have found is NTCS, as Luc found.
Wendy at NTCS has been a pleasure to deal with, they found 8 tires and shipped them to a local installer and will make me an appointment a week from tomorrow. The install is extra (~$50/tire with balance media, I think I will go with the beads rather than powder) and they would charge a disposal fee but I will bring them back home on my car trailer and a friend of mine will use them up on his dump truck lift axle.

I’ve done some research on this as I’ve been looking at options for the Cruisair’s I have. From my knowledge, the scrolls are newer and it’s hard to find a scroll that is 115V. They all appear to be 220v. They also appear to not be r407c or r22. R22 being gone. But the refrigerant I found on the scrolls would not drop in and allow you to use the evap. It would require a redesign because all the pressure switches would be different. Not sure if they would require lineset size changes. You’d have to redesign/engineer the system at that point. The best would be to update the system using an r22 compatible refrigerant (407c) for example that has similar pressures. This should allow for most of the system to remain the same, however, they all appear to be 220v. So, hence why many of the newer systems are using VFD it appears. I’ve been going back and forth, roof air, replacement of ACH14b’s with something like the new Aquaair, building my own replacement, or trying to source parts for existing units.
I’m not sure of the route I want to go. Roof air would be easy route but looks terrible in a coach that wasn’t originally internally ducted IMO. Building my own solution wouldn’t be too difficult after your source the parts or have them custom made. It seems others have been working on this type of thing so it would be easier to piggyback the parts they selected. Aquaair is the best solution but have no idea on pricing or availability. Summer is approaching fast.

Good idea, I’ll try that too.

Great job.
We need some photos

Anything new?
The pool of insurance companies for aviation keeps getting smaller, the ones remaining are more demanding and reluctant to write new policies.
It took me almost a month to get a quote on a TBM700, single turbine engine.

BD Duplan- I meant there is continuity on each separate wire with itself within the cable. Unfortunately I was not able to really test resistance since I’m not getting any power.
Mikee-
Great tip! I did just that, and even after disconnecting the cable from the bus, the breaker still tripped.
Chad- Turns out that is exactly what is was for me too. Art was correct.
I’m going to get a new end or maybe a short cable with end and extend my cable to 40 feet or so.
THANKS ALL!

Err, there are 8 pints to a gallon. 18 pints would be 2 gallons and a quart.
4.5 gallons would be 36 pints?
Do you mean quarts instead of pints? 18 quarts would be 4.5 gallons?
My Prevost mx manual, Sec.11, p. 11-11, states “diff holds 21 pints”.
When I change mine it takes 4.5 gals (18 pints) because I don’t drain the hubs.
-
When you say the shore cable had continuity, does the shore power cable have continuity between the two hots, or between either hot and a neutral or ground?

Your results may vary?

Feel free to contact me if you have some questions. I previously had an 85 PT36 and a 99 Lxi before getting my H3 Liberty.

My 92 takes almost 6 gallons. that includes the hubs.

Prevost Dallas would drive a delam bus to Xtreme Paint and Graphics in Nacogdoches, a Prevost approved shop. They fixed the problem adding rivets and a 2 inch wide cover strip over the seam and painted to match.

Mike,
I might be very interested in your board project. My Webasto heat will not send heat to the bays or to zone 3 (bed/bath) areas. The bays are not getting any heated fluid but I have yet to determine if the bedroom is but only needs power to the fan. Jeff at ETLC said he could see it calling for heat and guessed the board needed to be rebuilt. I don’t know what that involves or how to know if it would resolve anything but when we get back to Vegas and some warmer weather that what we are now seeing in Co. Springs, I might be able to take a look.

Good morning,
Does anyone know what the exit number for the bypass is when you’re heading west on I10 ?
Thank you!
