    The shutters are for cold weather operations while going down the road, if you are running the cruise air on heat. Definitely do not want them closed in warm weather.

    I removed mine, plugged the air line. If you have OTR bus air, you will never need a cruise air while traveling.

    our hearts went south last fall. I replaced both with the magnums and replaced both control heads. The hearts lasted 16 years but the company was bought and sold multiple times. No real support for them. The magnums are great and we have been very happy with them. Go with the magnums if you do a change out. You will not be disappointed

    Marius….

    What Jeff siad is correct. However, owners of coaches have struggled for years with side windows next to the driver and in the entry door that have fogged and needed repair or replacement. Sometimes the replacement would have a very short life and need to be replaced again within a few years and the cost is not cheap.

    So as an alternative some owners got creative to bring costs to a reasonable level. Obviously buying a new thermopane glass from Prevost was one consideration. But some owners found they could have a local glass shop make a thermopane to the exact size for less money than Prevost charged. Others opted to replace the thermopane with a single layer of automotive safety glass.

    It sounds as if a previous owner of your coach did just that, and failed to properly seal the glass to the frame.

    When you replace the broken glass just make sure the glass is installed correctly, with the right materials, and all surfaces are properly cleaned and free of grease or anything that will inhibit adhesion.

    Nothing on the right side for you to access. Does the unit run on diesel and heat your water? Does it function on neither electric or diesel?

    The cheaper one (for sale) and the more exppensive, hard-wired one. I went for hard-wired because it is one less item I have to think about. When I plug into the power pedestal, power goes to and through the hard wired surge protector. Done.

    Brady: 6′ long, 2′ wide and 8″ tall

    Tom: My ramps are 8′ in length, 2′ wide and 6″ high

    Both are same width. Brady’s are 2″ taller (higher). Tom’s are a little longer.

    It would be helpful if both Tom and Brady told us the split between flat section and ramp section.

    Tom … do your ramps have the open gaps in them like Brady’s?

    Thanks! This is helpful!

    October 30, 2015 at 7:31 pm in reply to: OK First Question

    Not at all for me ! I would love to have a XLII. Definitely one great looking coach. I would take one with issue knowing I had to fix it or have it fixed. I only meant to point out a year/model problem. Still think it is the most impressive model built!! Same with CAC if you find one talk to one of the guys that have changed one to make sure you get the most durable replacement. Never been in your shoes $$ wise to be choosey. If I were I would be one hard sell as to best bang for buck! Bob
