Thank you Jon, I’m thinking like a plastic coach guy again!HJ

Thank you all for your feedback on Prevost JAX! -
HJ, if that’s how you’re going to use it…you want a Prevo!!! Believe me, we’ve been there. If you want I can find the nitty gritty on that coach for you…..our bus is there now. Geo. 941 779 5018

When you run your generator or are on shore power the charging current is coming through the inverters so the answer to the question has to be to find out what is different?
Is your generator voltage and shore power voltage at 120V (plus or minus the allowable 10% utilities are allowed)?
What kind of inverters do you have and are you sure of the charging voltages? Are you applying different DC loads when you are on shore power versus generator power? In other words when home on shore power you may not have the tivoli lights on, but while you travel you may use them a lot and they are a faily large current draw from batteries.
Something is different and that might be the answer.

Cory,
Please don’t make any changes until you get to Foley, I want to bring my chair and glass of wine and watch the procedure.:)

I did not remove any hoses. I just open the drain and vent valves on the engine and open the drains and vents on the heat exchangers (OTR, driver) and remove the cap on the reservoir. It does not take long for the coolant to run out.
I did flush twice with water the first time I did it since I did not know the maintenance history. I did not do anything special for the Webasto. It drained and filled fine with the rest of the system.
I’d download the maintenance manual sections for the cooling system from the Prevost site for your coach. It includes pictures/drawings that show vents/drains etc and describes the process.

Kurt, We who attended the seminar got information overload and I am going to try to continue posting information to refute some of what we believed, and to reinforce some knowledge that is very important.

He difference in a perfectly balanced bank, equal cable lenght, etc is usually only a few millivolts. The batteries will vary more than that amount. As previously said, not worth the effort in our application.

With more specific information I would hope you are less of a cold freak like I am because in the hot southwest Cruiseairs are less efficient as a result of the heat radiating from the highway surface. Consequently that coach may not be able to retain cool temperatures while driving. But further, it is my opinion, not distorted by facts that only three units on a 45 footer is marginal. Three units work on a 40 footer. A 45 footer definitely can use the 4th unit.
As long as you never allow the coach to get hot the 3 units might work. But you have to have them all on, not because all will be running continuously, but so as each part of the coach starts to warm up you are limiting how hot it gets. A day of driving in the hot temps makes the bedroom a real challenge to cool down if it has been allowed to heat soak. the engine will be giving up heat for a long time keeping the rear closet and parts of the bedroom nice and toasty.
I would walk away, but keep in mind I consider the inside temps just right when the windows have condensation on the outside.

Evil Kneivel built a 35′ Prevost and never took delivery of it as he went to jail. Bill Roetzel (spelling) an Rv seller from Little Rock Arkansas had it for sale when it was brand new… we looked at it and the salesman was none other than Buddy Gregg… It was a 79 or 80 model.
Cheers… Diane

I had my 1991 H340 at Nashville in October for the 3 axle alignment and had no issue with the job. My tags were off about .5 inch and they corrected this issue. Drives were within tolerance but could have adjusted if needed. Had to replace the tie rod in front due to rusted ends that could not be adjusted. The adjustment and the Centramatic balancers from Jeff made it drive like a new coach.

I know it is not good for any Diesel engine to idle for long periods of time at regular idle. But The High Idle switch takes care of that doesn’t it ? As far as the 5 Min law on idle time. The people that enforce that are probably about as common as the Microsoft Software Police ?
Safe Travels,

I will just tell him that Jon doesnt know how to spell Texas.
Cant imagine how Buddy got so far ahead you.Did you have any faile U-TURNS? Those can really add to your travel time.

Maybe Jon but I don’t know what the front shutters would have to do with the ride on country roads or the big road I could be wrong

My pleasure! Happy Motorhoming to you all!
