Installed today after muffler shop made 10″ extension to swedge inside 2 1/4″ generator exhaust pipe. Given

Liberty installs a chrome tip over pipe it was a fit issue to make the universal genturi work…

Bill,

It’s not real intuitive, so no worries. When you’re at the URL entry area just hit the upload button. You will then have the browse option. If you have a 1st generation iPad this does not work.

Kelly,

If in fact the pump is 120 Tom’s suggestion is a good starting point. You should have a dedicated circuit for the pump.

I am assuming you have verified power is getting to the 120 V panel, that power is getting past the breaker to the receptacle and you have determined the receptacle is without power. Being a cynic, just to rule out the pump run an extension cord to verify the pump works.

Some pumps have external pressure switches. I assume you verified that is OK and you have power to that. If the pressure switch is internal such as on Headhunter pumps plugging the pump into an extension cord verifies the pump and its switch is OK.

Also ash Jerry if the OSU is for Ohio State University.

I run a website and so Jaime and I have a few things in common. I, too, have paid advertisers plus paid memberships. Of our 500,000 members, however, only about 2% of them are paid members.

Still, the 2% plus the advertisers pay all of our costs, and we make a decent profit.

I gave up on censorsing in most areas, except for hate speech and porn. Sure, an occasional poster will disparage one of our advertisers, and the worst thing, I’ve found, is to draw attent to them.

Once in a great while an advertiser will write me to ask that I change something that misrepresents them. I will generally comply with such a request, in a fair way.

Many advertisers are wise to believe in the old saying “any press is good press”, and don’t mind their name being mentioned.

I also don’t care if our users mention other products from would-be advertisers thereby giving them a free plug. This, if anything, will help me sell that advertiser.

My site has a lot of competitors. I don’t get upset when any of them are mentioned. I produce a quality product and that’s all it takes to keep my customers coming back.

I get it that the audience of potential Prevost owners is a couple of orders of magnitude less than my ham radio site, and, that every eyeball and every advertising dollar is precious. Protectionism, however, is not a wining strategy, in this or any small market. It’s not the way the internet works.

I have a Legendary 45′ XLII with 4 roof airs. I often only run 3 and it keeps the coach quite nice most days. But there are times when using the 4th will make the difference between being very comfortable, and maybe just a little hotter than I would like it.

Sometimes I may only run the 4th one for a few hours, but it is nice to have it. Plus it does give you a backup if one fails.

Only you can decide if 3 are enough to make you happy. If everything else on the coach suits your needs, see if there is a way for you to try it to see if you will be ok in the temps you would be using it in.

I don’t know but I had them on my 05 and have them on my 08.

DKO, There’s not too
much to see in Wisconsin (it’s my home state) but if you like cows, beer, wildlife and football you
are in the right place! (There’s
180,000 farms in the state of Wisconsin, or so I’ve been told).

If you are headed up the 94-90 north of Madison, a little
out of your way on the 33 is Baraboo, it’s home to the Ringling Brothers
Circus. I’m not sure if they still headquarter there but there’s a Circus
Museum open year round and the town is a great example of small town America.

Also on your way is the Wisconsin Dells, right on the
90-94 with lots to do with the kids, etc. I would imagine that there’s some
good camping around there as well…water activities, etc.

And then there ‘s always Chippewa Falls, another great small
town not too far off your route north on the 53 by Eau Claire. Wonderful people there and of course Leinenkugel
Brewing Company! (you learn to how to pronounce the name shortly after you have
a few). I stopped by the factory one time to “sample” and Jacob Leinenkugel the
III served me a cold one himself. There’s lot’s of history there and the story’s of
how it all started are amazing, plus Lake Wissota.

And if you have time, (although it may be too far out of the
way) head over to Green Bay, it’s always lots of fun considering the beer brats,
fish boils and football! And if you stop there say hello to the Major, he’s my cousin and he’ll
show you around!!

Have a good trip!

Not an excuse, but I just took my highly polished, Liberty installed, stainless steel, carpeted sewer hose cabinet out of the spot over my chassis batteries and the only thing I have on the bulkhead is the Vanner equalizer. No Norgren valve.

Now I am really confused. Al, can you send me an email with your VIN number? I am going to do some further checking to see why two coaches nearly the same age and which apparently share a pneumatic diagram aren’t set up the same way.

Sorry, no PDF as an attachment or cut and paste, but you could submit a link if it was accessible on the net.

I think just being here and keeping this community open is a huge contribution. You allowed me to become a member and participate without ownership.

Having access allowed me to follow forum posts for tech advice, chase suggested links and I paid close attention to any post involving the era and conversion companies I was considering.

What else could Prevost community do? It’s fun to consider, and as someone who purchased their first bus this year, I would have loved something more than was out there. The following ideas make resources readily available without putting an unwanted nose in someone’s business.

Adding a permanent “before you buy” tips page for the perspective Prevost owner would be extremely useful. The page could include downloadable PDF files on popular fixes, buying tips, definitions of frequently heard terms, distinctions of different models and eras, basic explanation of key components, a fact based description and explanation of conversion companies (no opinion or editorial), and perhaps a simple one-sheet with brief buying bullet points that could be printed and taken to a dealer or private seller. Jon has already written most of these.

Put together and giveaway or sell a comprehensive book here. Paypal buttons accepting visa/mastercard can easily be installed on the website. Offer a few free pages to create value for the book and incentivize a sale. If the group is hinky about keeping any money, funds could easily be donated to a charity, or go to future community events.

Prevost community could host and promote conference call workshops. The calls could be advertised on the site and could be topic specific to cover buying advice, service tips, and frequent issues of ownership. Websites like Freeconferencecall.com can supply the ability to host the calls for free.

Maybe advertise rallies, like the upcoming Branson event, in the local papers. You could announce “the buses are coming, the buses are coming” and open up a few times for the general public to come in, see the buses, attend a workshop and ask questions from the people who actually own and operate these machines. This first-person insight often has more credibility for the buyer than trying to figure out if the person selling you a coach is a friend or not. For the privacy of owners who don’t want to be on public display, perhaps participating owners could be parked in a specific section of the resort, or a few buses brought out front.

One thing is sure; there is a need for guidance.

[Doug]

you should ABSOLUTELY NOT keep your very helpfull experience and knowledge to yourself. From the limited experience I have with this forum I consider it to be excellent. Newbie’s should spend a little time researching the multitude of complex items involved in making a Prevost purchase. With little time spent on this forum I think it should almost be apparent that the experienced members have great knowledge and are willing to share it, it seems to me that with the membership there is also senior members located throughout the country that would be willing to be a 2nd set of eyes.

I don’t think most people will or need to spend the time that I have allocated to my search, but when I purchase I will have visited with the major converters, gotten familiar with the forum members, and hopefully executed a positive purchase with experienced forum members input.

[Doug]

Gary, wondering?? doesn’t your toilet work??

JIM

Oh yeah, glad the tire “looks” fine.

[Doug]

The tank drain had a manual petcock and required you to remove the chicken wire under the bus to drain the tank. I installed a lanyard that is accessed in the entertainment center and I can now drain the tank often. I don’t follow your comments Jon, what hose are you talking about? All hoses and fittings are on top of the compressor. Are you awake?

[Doug]

The coach is located in Phoenix AZ. If anyone is close by that can help a newbie out, it would be appreciated. I am tring to get there this thurs 6th.
