    It is a R134a fitting.

    R12 fittings are like the fittings on the CruiseAirs.

    Good post Ronald, only 5 beverages.

    Lots of folks get into trouble downhill, sounds like you had your hands full. At least if your pulling a toad, you can unhook and that will help. Some people think a jake or retarder will prevent the use of the brake petal when geared down only to learn a lesson. I can attest my bus at near gross weight of 54K, the jake will not hold it on 7% grades regardless of gear selected.

    Have fun in Williams, we did it in July..

    So today got to look under coach with it jacked and found two cooper tubes running across coach with no other connections to the coach.

    Further investigation found each end had a male connection. Puzzling how this was supposed to be used as each one has a male end on each end,

    At Profit, it was actually driver number and unit number. The driver number is your PIN.

    He’s not asking about electrical. One could be macerator and the other water like Dick said. I had a 97 Royale, but don’t remember. Andrea?

    Had Good Sam but they denied my first claim as pre-existing.

    Have had Coach Net and have used them on other Motor Homes they have always done a great job.

    I have USAA/Progressive insurance on the bus and they told me roadside assist was part of the policy. Asked a few “are you sure” questions and got correct answers.

    Am I missing something?

    Except for where we winter in Tucson, we are typically on well water. I started with just the 1/2 micron pb filter and while in the finger lakes area of NY it clogged in three days. It was brand new so I thought it was the water pressure regulator that was bad which is why I have the 2 pre filters now – they’re cheap. Also keep in mind what Flint went through and now Newark and who knows where else. The UV filter may be overkill but the peace of mind is priceless.

    On my Kubota motor I use it to drain air out of the system. If motor doesn’t start after fuel filter changes or sitting to long , crank and open/twist round valve and it will bleed air out to start.

    This is a made up answer.

    I have no clue what the original intent of that knob is, but if there is a fuel interruption such as changing fuel filters, running out of fuel etc. I connect the fuel pump on my generator to a power source, open the valve and let the fuel pump pump fuel.

    I have started the engine with the valve open, but close it as soon as the engine is running.

    I think it opens a path for fuel past the injectors and into the return line.

    But I don’t know for sure.

    Todd, I see that you have a Prevost Executive Coach conversion. I had a Executive Coach conversion for 10 years(2001-2011). Sold it to a gentleman in Santa Rosa, Ca. A nice conversion. Darrell McCarley in Dallas, Texas

    I always do 1/4 cup of bleach for every 15 gallons of water it holds. Fill all the way up. Then run everything hot and cold both. If you can smell the bleach you got it right. Then I drive the coach 30 or so miles . Then rinse everything twice or until I can smell bleach anymore

    Bernie, The way the brake application assembly is designed over greasing sets up a hydraulic lock. The pressure of the grease is what applies the pressure to the pads.
