I’m using Jon’s method. The extensions and the tire pressure monitors have been removed, no more minor leaks. Checking pressures is easy with the flow through outer cap and gauge probe similar to the ones Jon is using. I check pressures before every trip and use an infrared temperature gauge to check tire and hub temperature at each rest stop.

12R’s vs 315’s, there is a difference boys… I would still go by the Michelin chart after weighing the bus.

Hi Ronald, The link you posted is not conecting. Can you post the pics directly to your post? These vents sound like a good way to go. Thanks

Alan and Mary Kay also signed up. Looks like fun after a year’s hiatus from travel.

Your best bet is to send it back to Liberty. The product is several generations obsolete, but they have an electronics co nearby that services them. I speculate the battery soldered to the circuit board that holds the memory, needs replacing and the unit reprogramed.
I recommend you do not try to solve your issue any other way. That would be a case of “the cheap man pays the most” syndrome.
The unit is intuitively removed easily. Take a picture of the connections and mark any wires removed.

I was just looking into building a raiseable tower for the coach. Where did you get the suction cups that you used? I was thinking about using automotive “dent puller” types but they are kinda pricy for this application.

I had to replace a refridgerator recently .. everyone said remove the windshield and take it out that way ..
OMG remove the windshield? Seriously?
Turns out its simple. It took less time (and far less agony) to remove and replace the windshield than to deal with the fridge.

Thanks Jon, I’ll keep working at it and post what I find.

Here, you can watch it in real time. I always took the I-95 straight through. One day I took the 295 to the west side. I enjoyed the ride and have done so ever since.

If it works out …….keep in mind Sanford FL. Home of Millennium Luxary Coach. They have a huge fenced outside lot where you can park for free right off the Interstate. Sites have 50 amp, water, central sewer dump on lot.
They are super friendly and maybe you could find something you can’t live without.

Since none of our coaches was delivered with the option that makes the bus repair itself usually when something is not working properly there is a repair required.
Having said that our suspensions can sometimes exhibit a problem that can reverse itself over time. For those of you struggling with the leans please don’t interpret that as meaning if you wait long enough the problem will go away. What I do mean is that for our suspensions to hold air thus keeping the bus level for long periods a lot of fittings and valves have to be leak free. Fittings usually are always going to leak once they start, but the Norgren valves can sometimes exhibit a problem that more frequent use can minimize, or a change in temperatures can affect. It is a given that a valve on the border of becoming a leaker will show a leak faster in colder temps than in warmer ones.
Another factor is if the auxiliary air system has not been maintained and moisture, even a little bit, finds its way into the system and the bus has been dormant for quite a while corrosion can occur inside the valve. That corrosion can inhibit the travel of the spools so the valve doesn’t completely seal, or the corrosion can impact the ability of the O rings to seal against the smooth bore of the valve. Frequent use and a dry auxiliary air system can enable the valves in some instances to move more freely and to repolish minor impediments to good sealing. More often however the reverse is true because the corrosion pits the smooth bore of the valves and the white corrosion of the aluminum bore of the valves builds up into a sludge and eventually screws up the opoeration of the valves.
Nice to know Susan is one of the lucky folks. Next time I play the lottery I am going to ask her to pick the numbers.

Tom,
CAPT MOGUL says that no one should have to replace their shocks with only 18K miles on them.

Yes, you can stop coach tires at least with disc brakes.
Several years back, Chris and I were driving separate to make time from Palm Springs to Mira Loma with our then 2002 Marathon XLII single slide.
Following behind the coach in the car westbound, we were nearing the 215/15 interchange on I-10, when a sweet young thing decided to cut Chris off in the bus after she had past the exit’s lines. My viewpoint from behind, the rear of the bus went upwards, and billowing clouds of rubber smelling smoke hung in the air as I got to that spot. It was obvious to me from the rubber smelling smoke, tha some of the bus’s tires had stopped rotation during the panic situation. Glad we werent towing the Land Rover, no telling where it would have gone.

This was the first Prevost coach I’ve seen up close and personal.
Yes, my intuition was telling me structurally something isn’t right, but without a frame of reference to go by, I was not sure my observations where valid.
No, there was no “Eureka” moment when stepping into the coach-just dissapointment when looking at all that ghastly purple leather. I thought maybe I could warm up to the purple color….uh…no.
No doubt I was very impressed with what was right with the coach, but I’ll pass on this one.
Thanks again Jon.
