    Easiest way to get a sense of the company is to call them and start asking questions.

    Dumb stuff like damage history, excessive miles, mildew damage, odors, and lack of care all can affect the price.

    My BS detector always starts to go crazy when someone claims it is pristine, especially when there is no indication of miles because the market is not anywhere near the asking price.

    TCI is the only distributor for Michelin, and there are none showing up any where in the US on their system….Now Michelin might have some in their private inventory that goes direct to Production like Prevost, and Newell etc….No one that I know of or have been able to talk with has any access to those numbers…Just got a call and they are now scheduled for production in 3 weeks, however with the shortage out there it is hard to tell when each dealer will see them…

    An old tired Refridgerator compressor can wreak havoc on a coach’s electrical system. Is Your’s original to the coach ?

    Well you need to verify the alternator you have to charge the batteries, then verify if it has a external regulator or not….Then you can check to see if the regulator is giving the alternator the charge command….how many wires are hooked up to the alternator or a pic would help to identify this as well..

    Harry, Had mine out Monday and checked my Jakes to see what it did and those puppies will drag you down from 65mph to around 15 or 20mph in less than a 1/4 mile on flat ground. It downshifting itself. Toogle (downshift) yourself and mucho better.

    When your speed drops to 45mph turn on you flashers. Forget about speed and always control the bus. Going down is a balance between what gear you are in, RPMs and intermediate braking. If you are in 4th gear and your RPHs are rising then a short brake to reduce the RPMs.

    Did Jeff pick up the check? He always does, breakfast for his valued customers is a legit business expense. Last time I was there, he picked up the check for the whole restaurant.

    There may be different names for it. I’ve been calling it a filter minder. The picture below is a generic version not necessarily for your coach. May be a place to start your hunt for the right one.

    On my last coach with a Jake the keypad allowed me to select the high or low Jake braking assist.

    Hi Andy, While most would think of me more as a nightmare I’d be delighted to take the winner to dinner. And keeping with the theme of your game show I’ve noticed that both Macdonald’s and Burger King (where I currently work flipping burgers to pay Jeff) have wraps!

    But it let’s do dinner for sure. Just have your people call mine… Me having people, that’s a riot!
