No one in the immediate vicinity would come out to check my air leak. After much searching I got SUmmit Mobile Service, SIlverthorne, CO 970-389-3915 to send a mechanic 90 miles. He caped off the line to the slides and the and the leak stopped. Scott Bennett from Tradewinds was most helpful in isolating the problem and we traded several phone calls at this point we believe the leak is in the membrane. Thanks to those that offered suggestions.

Jon is correct, the 97’s I had were 96 chassis not 97’s.
Bill, other than the turning radius, I couldn’t tell any difference.

Personal Service!!! Honest, and knows his stuff. Saved me on the road too!

Some have had a tough time getting all the air out of the cooling system. Maybe you just haven’t got it all purged out yet.

Tommy it could be the versa valve in steering bay should be near front wall by head lights, it could be a fuse and I am not sure but might be a Allen bradly relay , I will have to look at it , will get back to you
it should be on output card # 5 wire number 52E so it could be the output card

Put up the Mustang Run RV Park on the map. Not a bad overnight spot. And if you are there during tornado season, they have 3 underground shelters.
The Cowboy museum was amazing. Need to go back when we are not on our way out of town and limited by time. For those looking to visit the museum? Don’t bring your coaches! The parking lot is not very “big rig” friendly 😉 Kind of surprises me they didn’t really plan the layout to handle tour buses though. We also need to go back and visit the Oklahoma City National Memorial and Museum. We did find a bar to spend some time in Friday night. Even had live bull riding going on (yes, real bulls, not those mechanical bulls).
As for the alternate route, From the cowboy museum, we jumped on I44 to Tulsa, OK and into Springfield MO, which is a toll road through OK (Two tolls of $16.50 each). 44 was great, even through Tulsa and into Springfield MO. From Springfield, we jumped on Route 60 which was mostly a 2 lane (each travel direction) freeway. Some traffic controlled intersections, but mostly not. In Siksten MO, we got on I57 into Cairo, crossed the Ohio River on Route 62 and into Paducah KY onto I24 then down into Nashville and onto I40 over towards Knoxsville. Not a bad drive with the only “surface” road being from Cairo to Paducha (about 30 miles) through small towns and farm country.
Was able to see some new sights and try a new route. In fact we may use this route from Paducha out to Springfield MO and then up to KC by-passing St Louis. St Louis is becoming more and more an armpit. The roads are terrible, traffic is even worse.
You go by the Mark Twain National Forest, as well as Laura Ingalls Wilder home (we didn’t stop, but they are on the route in case you find yourself with some time and interest in stopping).
I did screw up and forgot about the 155 by-pass through Nashville. Even with missing that, Nashville wasn’t that bad on a Sunday afternoon for a Holiday weekend.
All in all, I would say this was a good alternate route from OKC to Nashville rather then staying on I40.

as it turns out you are all mostly right, it seems the pump was the culprit….ironically just replaced original pump as a prophylactic exercise ( no good deed goes unpunished ) with a Mach V…..seems it was shutting down intermittently ….may have been related to the city water valve in wrong position…

Guy’s…… this subject is a train wreck.

On second thought, this does deserve a response and I’ll take off my clown hat.
For those that don’t know me, I would never have sold anyone a coach that needed 65K in repairs. When I sold Peter the 97 Royale, it was as good as they come and Trina knows it. Peter replaces everything because that’s just what he wants to do, whether it’s needed or not.
Will you recoup all the repair or update expenditures, necessary or unnecessary with an appraisal, absolutely not.

Weve been through the OKC to Memphis route, just wanted to try something new. Useally our route takes us from OKC to the ATL, so we go to Memphis and then down through Birmingham and across to ATL. But since we are going into Knoxville this trip, we wanted to see something else besides Arkansas 🙂
Will say that NM, TX and OK are MUCH greener then we have EVER seen it! And you know you are in the real tornado alley when your RV park has tornado shelters.
Tried Twin Fountains (as it puts us near the cowboy museum, which we will check out tomorrow morning on our way out) but being our “planning” is useally that day and it being a holiday weekend, well they were full. Ended up at the Mustang Run RV Park just off 40 before you get into OKC. Very well kept, wide roads so you dont need to do crazy swings to get into your spot. Also I like places that when I park, and go to level, it takes about 2 seconds to level, nice concrete pads all VERY level.
So on the Tulsa OK, Springfield MO route, was more checking to see if it’s a safe route. I know it’s not the same as I40, but more wondering if it’s traffic lights, towns, etc.. or if it’s single lane hwy that is big rig approved (no crazy switch backs, steep mountains, crazy grades, etc.).

Greetings Prevost Community!
I hope everyone has enjoyed their summer and your travels have been adventurous and problem free! I can’t believe it is September already, where did the summer go?Just a quick update from the Air and Coach Concours, Things here are moving at a blistering pace. We have a lot of great items to tell you about. As you may have read in my post, we are happy to have Ben and Rick on board from Parliament as guest speakers. We have also firmed up the Shelby driving experience, which will be part of the entire Autofest, a local country singer will be performing on Saturday night along with a drive-in movie for all to enjoy! Also made available for the entire show will be helicopter rides, and plane rides.Since the show will be falling on Veterans Day week, we will have 2 cars donated to the Auction, one for Friday and one for Saturday to be Auctioned off for charity with all proceeds benefiting the Wounded Warrior project. Along with this news, the on site Aerospace Academy, which is a High School strictly dedicated to Aviation, has allowed us to utilize their ROTC students to present the American Flag and kick off our auction in observation of those who have served our wonderful Country past and present!
You know as everyone says “save the best for last!!!!!” We are super excited, and pleased to announce, that as of today, we have partnered with the DuPont Registry!Over the past few months, myself and Bill III have met with Tom DuPont and his team.

Now a note from Bill 3
Hello PC-this is Bill IIII just wanted to add a few teasers to what Tim has already stated. I apologize about having to be a little secretive, but honestly what I am about to write has not been released yet even with inside the company. This is even the first that Tim has heard any of this.This week Carlisle Events should be signing a contract to have a very well-known celebrity join us at the event. I have never met him in person, but I have heard that he is a great guy. I cannot mention any names until it is confirmed in writing, but let’s just say “He has a long way to go and a short time to get there”. I was just asked about an hour ago if Tim and I could give up the use of the Cessna building (that is our hospitality area for all of you) for a few hours on Saturday for this exciting event. So that leads me to believe that not only is it going to be front and center to us, but that it really is going to happen.Did somebody mention the filming of a very popular TV show during the event. Not me!!! Details may also be confirmed this week.Tim and I have been very focused on the Air and Coach Concours aspect of the event. However, I can assure that over 30 other full-time employees are working hard to make AutoFest an amazing and unforgettable event. You as our guests will have an unlimited VIP and sometimes exclusive front row seat to each and every aspect.More details and confirmations to follow as soon as I get them…Bill III -
Good work Don, nothing worse than all that crumbling foam.

Jon what are you talking about I did not mention any names , just that we needed a driving video for pulling out of parking spaces!!!!!!!
