I wonder instead of ripping out the bus air, would it be possible to add a second compressor to the existing system, one not powered by the engine. Or, maybe the existing compressor could be driven by an electric motor (at lower speed unless you have an enormous motor to use. Would probably require a special pulley on the existing compressor, to be driven by either the Dd60 or electric motor (with clutch disengaged )

It works fine, I also don’t have any of the GFCI issues i hear about on these forums.

If purchasing from the manufacturer you should be in good hands. ALL of the manufacturers take great pride in not only their new products but also their previous builds.
Quality of build and customer support (even on 20 & 25 year old coaches) from all the major Prevost converters, and Prevost is a major reason we own Prevost.

The way Country Coach designed my bus, when i am running the generator or plugged in, my inverters are off.

Everything that inverts goes through the inverters called (Pass through) what ever inverts goes through contacts in inverter, So if you plug a electric heater into a plug that inverts it is extremely hard on the contactors in inverter, you should of had 120v power on microwave ac’s anything that did not pass through inverters. Did he have you reboot inverters? Remove AC and DC power from inverters then turn on DC power then AC power. When I did RV service I sent in quiet a few inverters and had them repaired, Most caused from electric heaters on anything with large AMP draws

Thank you for your response.

Yes, Prevost offers an upgrade to 20K, but only for the S60 engine.

If you have more information about the structure – diagram or schematic – of where the frame has failed that would certainly be of interest.

Sometimes is isn’t what you do, but how you do it. The bus is a very capable vehicle, my plan is to attach new structure to the frame and eliminate any additional load on the engine cradle.

Thanks again

Update:

Gen had problem due to failed solenoid.

Iy sent current up the #5 wire when it failed.

Replaced solenoid & wire – gen now fires up.

Bringing back an old thread.

Anyone upgrade to a modern 4 spoke (e.g. ViP 4S) on an XL?

Looking to downsize the gigantic bus wheel to an 18 like the newer buses.

Put in a call to VIP; but they were not very helpful.

Thanks!
