It must be a zip code thing. Nobody, including Progressive would quote agreed value but Foremost and Safeco for my $500,000 policy.

I had an appraisal at $670,000 that was a lousy over stated appraisal and Safeco would not requote based on the market value, not appraisal.

Jimmy – so…I sold my ’08 Marathon XLII in March. At the time, I was being charged $3600/yr for $500,000 agreed value with a $2500 deductible. I have a clean record, good credit and used my coach about the same you do. We also live in the same state. I had Progressive Direct. In my case, the best deal was giving them homeowners, cars, bus and umbrella.

Looks like I have a OTR issue . The light came on today and the unit is not running . I’m in the St George UT area . Can someone recommend a repair facility in the area ?

Thank You in Advance

Here are the dimensions for your air spring, also from the Goodyear catalog:

I also never run Cruise airs on inverters, just asking for trouble.

Dick , I do plan to inform the owners , however with all the goings on here I’m sure this will be low on there list . I think i will start carrying a spare so if needed i can just make the repair on my own .

Wow, what great advice Jeff. I downloaded the app on two IPads and two IPhones that did not have it installed before. I used the same or similar configuration as the iPads that came with the coach. It works great.

As a former plane owner whose plane was equipped with de-icing boots companies that make products made of rubber will provide products that extend the life of the product. BF Goodrich who made the boots on my plane likely made a ton of additional dollars selling products to be applied to protect the boots and extend their life.

If Michelin who knows people are putting all sorts of products on their tires wanted an additional revenue stream they could create and promote products that made tires look pretty.

Or maybe they have done the calculation and determined they will make a hell of a lot more money selling tires that have been prematurely damaged by folks that just cannot seem to have a set of tires that look like natural rubber and who insist on spraying or wiping on shiny stuff.

If you want tires to last and you want to avoid premature cracking and aging drive the bus often and exercise those tires to release the compound built into the tire to prevent aging. But for me a real clue about tires and their age is that Michelin will not cap a casing seven years or older.

May I assume when tire covers are put on the tires they are also put on the inner drives because those crack just as bad and as fast as the outer drives?

Prevost will have a diagram for your specific wiper system and the parts are not expensive, in my experience.

I have a 1996 Liberty 45′ and have been thinking about replacing my Cruise Airs with Roof Air conditioning but wondered how to duct them my ceiling is like a mirror do you have pictures on how yours look. Its getting harder to find people to work on the Cruise Airs.

Thanks Darrell

For ISRI parts, find your local tour bus company and see what they have. I got a parts ISRI seat for a case of beer.

The local shop here replaces them if the driver complains. Just a seat replacement would do it but they don’t bother but rather change the complete seat.

Art, Prestone Command is NOT an extended life coolant(ELC), it is a HD conventional 2 yr coolant.

Send a sample off to a lab like OAI-Oil Analyzers Inc, or DDC kit# DDE 23516921, and send it off for analysis.

My guess is your coolant will still be good, but the SCA charge will need replenishing with a “Need release” filter like a Fleetguard# WF2131, or Penray# NF2088SM.

I have had this same coolant in my bus for 3 yrs. I installed a need release filter 14 mths ago. Last analysis was done 12 mths ago. All was good. I’ll be sending another sample to OAI for analysis soon.

I will definitely keep him in mind when I need a fan clutch. Love dealing with people that still have a concept of old time customer service. Thanks for sharing his information.

[frank]

I’m in awe. I wish I knew how to do that!

NO!
