    August 1, 2022 at 10:07 am in reply to: Verify Norgren part numbers?

    I have done the spray soap thing to no avail. I also have the ultrasonic tester, which helped me find a leak at a T fitting, but I still have other leaks. Could be a bag, but could also be an internal leak on one of the Norgens. I’ll probably try the soapy water again, but I suspect I will still find nothing.

    One thing I probably need to do is monitor each of the 6 bags on the rear to see if there is a particular one causing the lean. I think if it’s limited to one of the tag bags, then it’s probably the Norgren that controls that (or the push to connect fittings there).

    My bet is on a push fitting. BTDT. Just mix up some Dawn soap in a spray bottle and have fun.

    Good Luck

    This is unrelated to the slide cylinder. I ran across this old post and have to thank Dan Darst for turning me on Boeshield T-9. Its by far the best lubricant i have ever used. I have tried everything under the sun to try to quiet squeaking automotive hinges on our new cars and only ended up with black streaks and accumulated dirt with no improvement. It also works great for all of the bay door latches on the bus with no mess. Especially the engine bay door slide pin mechanism. Where has this stuff been all my life? Has anyone else used this?

    P.s. Dan has not been around in awhile. I hope he is ok.

    Drove it another 300 miles to salt lake city. Noise is now gone but I’m running on 5 cylinders. Detroit dealer in salt lake is trying to squeeze me in.

    Unless this issue was caused by the people that ran my top end years ago, my series 60 certainly isn’t living up to reputation.

    Thanks for that info.

    I actually wonder if not going the mach5 route at all is fine. Looks like Remco makes a 115v version as well. It would be an easy swap, being able to use the existing AC circuit, which is triggered via remote switches in places like the water closet. Going 12v might involve a bit more work, unless my coach was already wired for it.

    Hi Greg – good decision on your part! Less amperage plus super nice lighting. All of mine had been changed out except for that one, and those above each vanity sink. They will soon be changed out if the replacements are indeed the exact match 🙂

    A properly working 50 amp power pole allows 50 amps on 2 separate circuits for a total of 100 amps. If the power pole is tripping when you are only using 30 or so it must be the power pole.

    Thanks A1 I needed a laugh. Just like blaming Russia for all the fuel increases. Bouncing down the road ehhh.

    Every time someone asks me the difference between a Liberty and other converters I bring up their plumbing shortcomings and show them pictures of stuff like this.

    Once the copper pipe goes up and you loose sight of it the fun starts.

    The picture of the water heater bay is a FUM.

    The Sharkbites I used in the hot water, cooper plumbing lines were well over 10 years old when I sold the coach. I suspect they are still just fine. With the piping clamped to the walls I am not sure where much movement would take place.

    Ahhhh….yes… the Prevost days. Certainly met a lot of nice folks driving the big buses.

    I still meet nice people driving the little bus.

    Safe travels!

    Hey Josh, thanks for reaching out. I’m going to be in Loudon this weekend and visiting Nashville on friday (Olympia coaches) so not sure if I will be able to get to ETLC since you are closed on the weekend. I have been there one time and I know there’s a coach from Sewell still there (right) which I wanted to see…do you ever open for off-hours?
