Dick, the roller assembly is attached to the bus with a piece of Canvas. That piece of canvas creates two pockets on both the awning side and the bus side. A stainless or aluminum rod is Inserted the length of the pocket into a aluminum c channel locking the canvas into place , and thereby securing the roller mechanism to the bus.

The canvas deteriorated and ripped. @ 17 years old this piece , unlike the awning material itself, looks to take the majority of wear and tear as the arms mounted to the bus are spring loaded – and constantly putting tension on the “attachment” canvas.

Jon- this is certainly another item to put on the ol’ zero out list 😉

By Law any battery in an enclosed area like this has to be a sealed or AGM. My build sheet calls for a AGM Group 24 and how that Odyssy got in there I don’t know.

It now has a group 24 AGM.

That’s your display. You measure the contents by the pressure of the water column on a tube that goes down inside your tank. It translates the pressure reading to an electrical signal shown on the display..

That is just one type of tank level device which is why without any information from the fella that started the thread no information provided here is valid.

Do you mean the temperature gauge on the dash?

If so isn’t that one integrated into the dash assembly?

Over the years I have had several instances where I used the macerator because of need or convenience. In a couple it was because the only place to dump was not close enough to the coach so a garden hose (actually Tom’s water fill hose) was used to reach the dump and the macerator did the job. It was also nice to pull along side of a rest area dump station and align the macerator outlet with the sewer area and hit the button without ever leaving the seat.

http://www.grainger is a source…there are so many sizes and styles on the coach it is hard to say get certain ones…

We originally had direct tv connected to our Winegard in motion satellite antenna and switched to Dish. There are dip switches that must be changed on the antenna and with our model, the only dish receiver that will work is the VIP 211, they refer to this as a mobile receiver (I think newer Winegards also use a VIP 411). We get all the channels on the road we get at home. Dish will also let you call in and they will change the programming so the local channels come in wherever you are. With in motion systems, dish allows HD programming to work while Direct TV does not.

Hi guys,

I’m curious about something? Has anyone run numbers comparing a 15 year old Prevost vs something like an American Eagle or Newmar Essex maintenance cost? I know that many of you have owned other coaches before your Provest and may have a feel for this. I’d appreciate your comments?

If I’ve posted this in the wrong place please let me know? I know my question is not in the context of the OP!

Thanks guys,

HJ

This is a great price!

About 1/4 the price that Marathon would charge for doing a cermaic coating on your roof. However, they need your coach for a week, so I’m not sure it’s exactly the same procedure.

Mines longer than Jon’s and Fred can’t even find his…..

Thanks Jimmy, I can only type so much before it slows waaay down. Jon is right…Corey is usually on the phone for 1-2 min. and then the guide changes. Geo.

I’ll let the master chime in here, but my guess is it was likely as difficult as what I have gone through. Maybe not the actual work itself but in trying to get you to pry open your wallet so he could make enough money to pay his electric bill.
