I don’t know much about bus air, but when my car AC went out, it was the compressor unit that went bad. Do these buses have such a device to make them run?

Talk to Incredible Bank as you mentioned your 401-K which might have some advantage in raising your bus budget.

When you get some time enter your name and profile so it appears on your posts. We all welcome you here with many ideas on how to spend money.

Just completed the quick registration process. I guess my dues are working again, didn’t even ask for a payment. Jon, Tom and others are really good at keeping overhead costs down and allowing our dues to be so inclusive. What an orginization.

[Doug]

Sorry Tom,

Wake up and smell the slide seals……..If it is an electrical device it is likely out of date when you buy it. Doug and I have out of date Pressure Pro devices because I know PP is already working on improvements to my version.

But for those who need a TPMS that is no excuse to avoid a purchase. The difference between Doug’s and mine besides a little age is a temperature sensing ability with both doing exactly what they have to do to alert us of potential problems.

Anyone have this site posted to the PC Map?

Until you add some coach information in the signature line nobody can answer the question because there are so many different tank level indicators used by different converters.

This is not a Prevost question so I will give some time for this response to be read and then I will move it to Plumbintg.

Good. We can put the XZA2’s all the way around. I am going to need to pull the trigger here pretty soon. I used to work at Michelin. I will not put anything else on my coach.

Lonestarace,

Thanks for the information. Very informative. I need to do a lot more research on the Direct TV issue vs Dish. I have had Direct TV for a very long time, but changing to Dish may be in my future.

I wonder what Doug ended up doing with his chassis batteries. Did he really “kill them”? Were they were old, timed out, and needed to be replaced? Or were his existing chassis batteries “ok” and just needed to be charged?

Inquiring mind want to know.

Download the Specs. It will pump out the back or down. This is a modification you make if it’s pumping down. Our’s pumps out the back.

We have taken our 2 granddaughters with us one at a time for up to a week. It’s our special individual time with each of them. We try to have a pretty firm agenda and make the trip(s) all about the kids – whatever they are interested in, that’s what we do. We always have a good time & we have made some really special memories – for everyone. We started taking them at age 6 for overnights with us – the rule is 6 because we didn’t want to get up in the middle of the night to take them home to see their mom, and we wanted them to be old enough to understand and follow directions without a problem. Has worked well so far. We have a grandson who is 5 now, and we may have to do some re-evauation age-wise. He’s a dynamo and only has 2 speeds – flat out and sleeping. I’m not sure I can keep up!

I may have missed the post, but is there a link to a list of dealers that accept the tire discount program?

[Doug]

Michael, I’ll give you a thumbnail sketch. We bought a my 94 CC from the original owner, he was turning 90 and hadn’t used the bus for 3 or 4 years. It had it’s own ac and heated barn. We knew we were going to spend time and money updating it, just probably not to the extent that we will. Lol. We have a long laundry list of things we’ve done from new interior to new radiator and stuff in between.We are 2 years into a 3 year plan of zeroing it to our comfort level. Fortunately I’m mechanical, otherwise the costs would be substantially more. By the time we finish we’ll approach our purchase price, we bought the bus right so by the time we’re done it won’t break the budget. In the meantime we’ve put on 25k miles and enjoyed every minute!

amps X volts = Watts 2500watt divided by volts(120)= 20 amps in perfect world more like 18 available. you can figure input to unit same way. 150 amp alt x 12 volt =1800 watts… hope this helps.

Bill,

My 02 CC has a Thomas compressor as it’s aux, located behind the front bumper. Is yours the same and does your coach have the ECC cabinet in the first bay? You may simply have a bad fuse. That fuse is located in the ECC and should be easily located. If you don’t have a manual, Thomas manuals have a troubling shooting guide and can be accessed by simply Goggling Thomas compressor and your model #.
