For your own safety make absolutely certain that you know for sure it was not driven on when underinflated. A tire can lose a lot of pressure and still appear OK. The problem is all manufacturers will point out if a tire is run at 80% or less of its required pressure it needs to be scrapped. If your drives require 85 PSI for example then any pressure lower than 68 PSI makes the tire a flower planter.

Jon,

I appreciate your candid answers. Man, I sure hope I don’t unknowingly wade off into a question that I should not be asking. I’m still learning what companies support which products. I’ll get there!

However, I too have heard Sprint is not the best coverage in the US.

We like to watch movies on Netflix and Hulu, so that is where the usage goes up to around 10-15 Gigs a month, if we watch one movie or a TV show each day.

“Never Stay Here” sounds like a forum for PUP! We had one of these places last trip. American Wilderness Campground. Their web site goes out of its way to hide that they have no sewer. $50 bucks to park and she didn’t seem to mind pointing out to us that the bath houses closest to our site were outhouses!

I am looking forward to Indy. Now I’m hoping to see Jon run over something.

“The worst KOA we have ever stayed at was the one on the west side of West Yellowstone.”

We pulled in there and I enquired as to the rates (we seldom do a reservation in advance thing) and the guy told me. I paid for three days and what was left of that day, and was given a site.

The tree’s are what you say they are, but at that time we were not in a bus, so it was not a problem.

The next morning, the owner pulls up and says to me, “Funny thing. We are going to have to move you.” Now take into consideration I am all broke down and hooked up for the four days.

So I say, “Yeah? Why is that?” and he says “Oh we have a couple that come up here every year and they stay in this spot and they are coming in today so we have to move you.”

So then I say, “Oh I understand, what are you going to do for me?” and he looks at me kind of funny and then says, “What do you mean? What am I going to do for you?”

I reply, “Well neighbor, you want something from me, look around I am all set up and you want me to move? What are you going to do for me?”

I just figured “if one hand washes the other, then he should do something for me” but he didn’t see it that way. I didn’t move for four days and we left when we were scheduled to leave.

Don’t know what his favorite couple did for a spot.

Don’t figure to go back there either.

If that thing gets 13 MPG it must be made of balsa wood and weight about 10,000# or they measured the mileage going downhill with a wind at its back.

Diane,

As you can see, Jon boy went easy on me and turned it into a
lesson on not being distracted when hooking up the toad. Many times I
have ignored people around me talking while I’m hooking up probably
thinking I was rude, but like Jon, the pilot in me shut everything
out while doing the pre-flight/pre-tow. In this situation, I ignored
the warning signs of the Pressure Pro thinking the tire temps were
normal.

So, lesson learned, note to self… Pay attention to what doesn’t
seem normal.

Also, most cars/trucks probably have a different procedure for
towing and attention to the owners manual is critical. One key
position off caused me all this aggravation.

[Ed]

Got it, I stand corrected.

[Ed]

Thanks for this forum. It has helped me tremendously getting aquainted with my new to me Prevost.

[Ed]

Picked up new skin for 98 yesterday. Nice operation. Yes I did tell them to take advantage of Prevostcommunity. They have some real nice acessories. Also their word is solid. Bob

Tom,

Count me in.

I’m going to talk to the Cricket poeple and see if anything can be worked out. It looks like the Wheels to Go is better made than the Cricket and both have their negative and positive features. In my situation, I have a limited amount of length in the Avalance with the tailgate up, so the Wheels to Go wouldn’t work for me. Here’s a rough comparison:

Wheels to Go Cricket

36W X 21H X 72 32W X 28H X 65

650 lbs 300 lbs.

55000 28000

2 People 3 -4 People

Hector:

Again I want to thank you. What a great teaching tool you have provided for the Prevost bus owners. Your presentation was factual, to the point and exactly the length of time to hold everyones attention.

The work you have done to simplify the understanding of the system is to be applauded.

Thanks again !!!!!

According to the gal at FMCA the 50 amp sites are assigned, and they are not all in one spot. Apparently the 50 amp sites are throughout the parking area. I can’t picture that, but I have to take her word for it.

Arriving en masse won’t change the site assignment so the only way to be near one another according to the gal is to mention Tom or my name and say you want to be near us. That doesn’t mean we cannot drive in together, but it will not influence where we end up parking.

[Ed]

What we have done in the past is meet somewhere and go in together, that way your parked side by side.

OK Al, you started this and better step up.
