    Awesome seminar! Touched base with Ann & Andre and Mike & Karen from the Driggs event and met so many more good folks all having a good time.

    Special thanks to Jeff for hosting and Jon and Tom for organizing the event. Thanks to Bill Jensen for all the Prevost knowledge, and shout out to Buddy and Fred for all the extras and all the Ladies that kept us in check!

    i notice that most Prevost service centers have a road service van. I am curious what are the top 5 failures they encounter. Goal is to be sure those items are in my preventative maintenance. Thanks for your help.

    If you already have two air pressure gauges the the third one is brake application pressure, if you press on the brake pedal the needle should rise according to how much brake you apply. On my bus with the Prevost gauges the temperature gauge with the small gear or cog symbol is transmission temperature

    The temp gauge never has worked or the one air gauge ….

    the temp suggestions are , eng oil temp, trans oil temp, rear end temp.

    the suggestions for the air gauge. Aux air , howard steer.

    Without getting under to see I don’t know if the tag has ABS or not. I do know 30/30 seems larger than what is on the tag when it comes from the factory so you have become a test driver.

    I don’t know if you would know if you locked the tag wheels up from the driver’s seat because you might not hear them sliding.

    Totally agree with Jon…use it or loose it!! You bought your coach to use, not abuse by keeping it in cold/freezing weather!! You may think you have no alternatives locally…expand your storage search area until you find something at least with power. You’re not doing your coach or yourself any favors storing it the way you seem to be leaning. As Jon said…Go South!! JMO…

    Tom,

    I submitted Apple Valley Farms at Lake Lure sometime in July. Never saw it show on the Map.

    If you don’t find it I can add again (maybe).

    I like the new site, larger black font looks good. Log on looks good.

    I don’t see any pictures after Herb’s dune buggy. Maybe there are none but it looks like Alvie posted a picture of his old truck that I cannot see.

    No doubt a busy day for our Administrators …

    But much appreciated effort to continue to upgrade our involvement in PC!

    I guess you need to now put in the “Title” every time you post in the same Thread?

    Rudy,

    You can bring me parts anytime. I’ve seen your coach and it is a sweetheart of a coach. Dick is just picking on our friends who have other than a Prevost. No wonder some folks see us as snobs.

    Dick, you need a timeout. Go to your room!.

    September 13, 2017 at 8:26 pm in reply to: Half the 120volt system is out?

    I checked the shore power outlet and had about 122 volts on both legs.

    With the shore power unplugged, the generator OFF, and all the 12 and 24 master switches in the electrical bay OFF I loosened the #1 Inverter from its mooring, removed the cover, and examined what is behind the curtains of the inverter.

    Since I’ve got a working replacement inverter on its way, I decided to not unhook the incoming 120volt wiring to check income voltage. I’ll do that when I have the replacement inverter and have the wires unhooked then.

    Just as a previous poster observed, the 120volt wires are wire nutted and taped. Could the tape be shrink wrap? Or could the wire nuts and wires painted with liquid shrink wrap?

    I am a little disappointed that the manufacturer is apparently using wire nuts to make the connections. I’m not a master electrician or an electrical engineer, but I would have expected some kind of clamping device to make the 120 volt connections. Maybe taped/shrink wrapped wire nuts are a better connection.

    Here are some pictures of what I found:
