If there is any water in the system, I cannot find it. Fort Worth Prevost had the coach about 45 days ago (3500 miles ago) and installed new petcocks on all the tanks including ping tanks, leveling valves (2 in the rear and 1 in the front), new desiccant filter on the dryer, etc. I have the bill to prove it!

I religiously drain the aux. compressor tank along with the Norgren water separator. I have never found water come out of the tanks except for a tiny bit of moisture shoot from the aux. tank that is dries before it hits the ground.

Jon, I know you always refer to the “spitter,” but where exactly is it located and what does it look like? I have turned everything that has a drain or petcock on it and never found water. Ive never found anyting on the coach to be a “hack job” or installed wrong or out of the scope that Liberty or Prevost would find acceptable.

We were just there, looked at the coaches he and Featherlight had available.

I’ve never done this type of stuff before but me and my buddies are getting our fill after work. Supid quesion… What does the pump diaphrams look like? Are they the clear looking “Shot Glass” thingy ma jigs?

Thank you Pres…

[Doug]

We looked at maybe six. We chose the one we now own because of the decor, floor plan and most importantly we had all of the service records since new. Advice from this forum was key. We knew we’d have to spend money to zero it out, we took it to Jeff and it was done.

But, we would not have bought a coach without the service records.

Well, when we started to consider a new coach we first looked at Newell. We toured their factory in Miami, OK, and they were interesting. I didn’t really know a lot about Prevosts at the time.

I found this site and asked a simple question about engine size up-grade since the Newell had a 600 hp engine (do not ask that question). :o)

Anyway, long story short, we decided on a new Prevost build after reading all of the information here and the quality of the Prevost shell.

Since I had never heard of Liberty at the time, we connected with Marathon to look at one of their coaches. Beautiful! When we had our Monaco Dynasty built, Marathon was right across the street in Coburg, OR. (I remember how nice they were back then looking across the street).

We then found out that Liberty was going to show one of their coaches at the same location we toured the Marathon.

ALL Prevosts are gorgeous coaches, there is no arguement there. We leaned towards Liberty as I liked some of the components better but that is just my opinion. (rose petal dispenser). :o) Marathon does not install a macerator nor were they putting a nav. screen on the passenger side.

When you have someone like Frank to show you everything technical…. well, enough said.

So, we looked at three coaches before deciding on Liberty.

Safe travels to all.

This
is unbelievable, the same guy I talked about starting this thread
just had the other side tag tire do the same thing over the weekend
in DC. Picked up a bolt and caused the Pressure Pro to alert and
another tire purchased.

Many
of you know this poor slob who doesn’t post here, sometimes reads,
the one and only Mango Mike. Instead of hanging with the bus guys on
PC, he’s now a Facebook dude..

[Doug]

Thanks Mark!

You’re correct, being a member of the 2BC is requires committment. Today was a prime example in that it was 79 degrees with clear skies and I had to drag myself out of the house to exercise both busses. It’s a tough job, but somebody’s got to do it!

[Doug]

Ditto

[Doug]

Ah, yes. But a friend with a reader plugged it into a port and everything checked out okay… no issues or problems indicated, mileage accurate, etc. Linda

[Doug]

If memory serves me the button must be on and the coach must be in reverse…otherwise I believe it would be a power issue…

[Doug]

Jimmy, you may have already said but, do you also have DTV at your residence? That seemed to be the sticking point with the person I spoke with at DTV.

[Doug]

Fantastic coach, inside and out. The red is terrific .

It may appear to be turning slower at highway speeds Tim, but at the same speed as before your RPM is going to be the same unless somehow your DDEC was misreporting RPM.

You should be at 1500 RPM at about 62MPH. There is no slippage due to a torque converter because it is locked and the engine is literally directly connected via the transmission and differential to the drive wheels.
