Please note, the Pre-Rally at Hearthside Grove is for 3 nights, not 2 nights as stated in the flyer. The dates stated are correct, with arrival on Sept 8 and departure on Sept 11.

Glad it worked out and didn’t cut your weekend short. I’ve always felt stupid when something so easy is pointed out by a repairman but hey, that’s how we live and learn.

Sounds like the time delay relay. Open that cover with shore and gen power off…..there will be two red or orange colored relays. They have a time device on top either a knob or push button adjustment knob…remove them and reverse their location from where they are know. If this is it it will now give you shore power however on gen you would have same issues until it is replaced. I have them in stock it need be….

Prevost won’t do anything because it is not hurt by the existence of one counterfeit. Even the schmuck who buys it won’t be angry with Prevost when something breaks because he will immediately find out that it never was a Prevost. It costs a lot to sue for trademark infringement, and most companies will only do it to make a point and to scare off other would-be infringers. This is not that case. Plus, parody is a defense. Maybe putting Prevost badges on a plastic motorhome is a parody. If I put those same badges on a VW Microbus it’s plainly a parody. Where do you draw the line? Anyway, it’s not worth it to Prevost.
If some unsuspecting buyer buys this MoHo based on the misrepresentation that it is “built on a Prevost chassis,” he will likely win a fraud suit. He will have to prove the seller knew the representation was false and that buyer did not. Bubba on the video sounds like he might not actually know what it is built on or if it even has a chassis, but I’ll assume that any court will find that a dealer that “sells 500-600 motorhomes a year” as he claims should know that Prevost does not make motorhome chassis. So the defrauded buyer can sue to rescind the deal and get his money back in exchange for returning the coach, or he can sue for damages. The damages are the difference in value between what was represented and what was actually sold. It’s a hard calculation because there is no such thing as a Prevost motorhome chassis. Therefore it’s hard to compare the value of the represented vehilce against the same coach on a Gillig chassis, that this is apparently built on. By the way, Gillig seems to be a pretty competent bus builder if the longevity of the schoolbuses it makes is an indicator. Regardless, this seems to be a pretty nice MoHo, and maybe it is worth $299k. That’s what the seller will argue. So a buyer who is cheated might not come away with a very big verdict. The contract he signs will probably preclude attorney fees, so he’s out even that. He could win punitive damages though, and that should scare any sane seller not to pull this kind of stunt, as should the loss of reputation that comes from such a suit.
Yes, if a buyer gets duped the seller is probably guilty of criminal fraud of various types and other crimes, but proof of knowledge of the falsitiy of the respresention is much harder in a criminal case. It is rarely prosecuted unless the dollar amount is quite large. Plus, if we start prosecuting every vehicle dealer who makes a false representation in connection with a sale we will have to let all the murderers out of prison to make room for them. (No offense to the honest dealers on this site. I used to sell cars myself.)
The state agency that regulates motor vehicle dealers in Georga might be the best friend of anyone who wants to stop this apparent misrepresentaton. I have to believe that an inquiry letter from the state licensing agency would inspire some changes to the advertisement.

Good morning Peter, sent you a message about 10 minutes ago.

I have about 8,000 miles on my Pressure Pro and have had much better seal on the stems than with regular caps. I can avoid the extension with Tom’s super tool but some wheels may require a short extension. Prevost tells me they can add their system to an older coach. Just takes $$$$. -
This may be a dumb question, but if this unit can monitor up to 80 tires or in Jon’s case, five vehicles, do you have to install sensors on all the TOAD vehicles and then you simply move the monitor from vehicle to vehicle?
Also, can a DIYer do this or is this a professional install?
-
Yes Jon. The primary and secondary circuit gauges are on the dash, and there is no pressure drop. The accessory gauge is in the steering compartment, and it too is not losing pressure. The only temporary gauge I installed was on the wet tank, and its pressure drop was less than one pound per minute.

Nope, not a lot of time in the pits. I do have far too many hours under cars on lifts though. I felt most comfortable and had the best leverage with everything above me. That wasn’t my point though. My point was you can’t make it any deeper when it’s done. Make it deeper than you think you need and raise the floor later if needed.

For my education:
Why would a generator running fully loaded or even over loaded, over heat but not over heat when it is partially loaded? Shouldn’t an over loaded generator kick the 50 or 60 amp breaker and the generator keep running?

Are you sure, Jon? The Headhunter needs the pump to put out 60 PSI to flush the toilet, while the Kohler uses a tank.

We are staying four nights at Pine Grove RV Park near Greenwood. It is right off I-80 at exit 420. It is easy to get into and has big gravel pull thru sites with full hookups. It is a full family park with pool, playground and the rest but it has been very quiet and peaceful for us.
It is 32 miles from the church where we are preaching in Omaha but that’s not too bad for four days.
A big plus here is that I was blessed to meet another great Prevost owner. I pulled in two spots down from a beautiful 95 Liberty XL. I had two great visits with the owner before he pulled out and he was a super nice guy. His liberty is absolutly stunning inside. Our coaches are basically the same vintage and I will tell you his conversion stands head and shoulders above my Vantare in many respects. He has had many updates completed in the last year but his basic interior conversion is original and it is outstanding. I have got to hand it to Liberty on that one.

Don, don’t know ( haven’t researched) if the logic is different on coach years, but mine is a 1991 coach and tag lift works. If it would help to look at mine and air logic is the same, just a few miles east of you off I10. Mine is stock Prevost and hasn’t been monkeyed with.

When an AC system has a leak, even if it is a small one there is almost always an accumulation of oil and dirt at the leak location.
We don’t need to know anything about air conditioning to include a visual check of the system in our pre-trip inspection. As long as all the hoses and fittings are clean and dry it is unlikely there are issues relating to loss of refrigerant. When there is a leak often a little tightening of a fitting will cure the problem.
On OTR systems the most common problem I have seen on my coaches has been at the compressor seal which shows up as a greasy or dirty stain behind the clutch.
