    Jon,

    Your new car is absolutely beautiful! It’s nice to see the final product!

    I do have a question, is there a reason why you didn’t use the original hubcaps?

    That is going to be a real problem. I understand the chanels the spade slides into is what is not holding.

    Squeezing them down won’t last either. Been there, done that on other electrical job.

    Going to have to go to some other type of connector if that is possible.

    Karl,

    I don’t know your configuration. If you have 2 hot water heaters you’ll want to make sure both are working.

    Most of these hot water heaters have their thermostat set to 140 degrees. Many showers, if not all, can be set to mix the hot and cold water to prevent scalding. Most of these are not thermostatic, they are simply mixing valves. The right way to maximize hot water and prevent scalding is to have a thermostatic mixing valve installed at the hot water heater and don’t allow any mixing at the shower.

    Bill,

    I bleieve the h2o button only pushes coolant for more heat
    capacity, not refrigerant.

    Not to hijack the thread, but here’s what I hate about maintenance logs rather than a file full of receipts.

    I remember when we in the telecom industry sruggled with the risk versus reward of providing a customer with a single monthly bill for their TV, Internet, and wireless services. Some big named telcos thought it was great idea, I did not and still do not. A single bill (a maintenance log) makes it clearly evident what you are spending. Individual service bills (file full of receipts) doesn’t make the total cost slap you in the face. Although my service costs have been reasonable, there a bit more than I had thought.

    Back on topic. Remember Jon saying just the other day that it doesn’t make sense for things like lighting controls to not simply be on wall switches. He may be dreaming of having a CC or even a Royale or Parliment, but let’s see if he can man up and eat a little crow and make the move.

    Anytime mine idles it’s on high idle except when cold on start up. The only time I let it run is if it’s hot and the A/C is running while fueling, now that fueling for PC folks is only 15 minutes (except for Gil, he has to make two trips to the fuel desk, get in line with the shower folks and wait his turn). Anymore than say 15 mnutes I shut it down.

    actual air bag height of inflated air bag on each side front. Should be the same. Aprox 11 1/2 inches if memory serves me correct . Your coach falls into a unit number change over where Prevost used 2 norgrens on some coaches on front end. Check your against the prevost.com web site ; just enter your last letter in your serial # and last 4 didgets. FWIW . Will help problem solving with these two pieces of info. Bob

    Great job, Are you in Los Vegas
    NV? We are going to the Grand Canyon and on to Los Vegas will be staying
    at LVR for a few days. Is the road from Kingman to Vegas any good to take an XL2 with Jeep in tow? Leaving Florida on the 15th of May.

    Thanks!
    That’s what I always considered with cars, but thought there might be some
    difference between the types of refrigerant used in the OTR or Cruisair systems.


    Going to look at one in Coburg – 0591. Can you tell me anything about it?


    Tom: Could I have another ‘Z’? 🙂
