The actual day of arrival can be Tuesday 2/23. The hospitality suite will be open and as folks arrive it will be meet and greet. The auction is Friday and Saturday with the days preceding it having scheduled activities such as a mini-seminar, breakfasts, dinners, and beverages in the suite through the day. Those days are for cruising the displays, looking at the auction consignments and socializing. We can remain through Sunday and depart on Monday 2/29 as some folks did at the fall event.
Even though this event has a lot to do and a lot going on it is really a laid back affair in which we are not slaves to a tight agenda (except meals). It is a laid back and relaxing rally. All Ken and Bill and Tim expect is for us to buy vintage cars or a Prevost coach or two. But if we don’t we have a chance coming up in November.

Actually, Doughnuts have not been the problem. Since we’ve been here we’ve celebrated two birthdays. Josh turned 21 last week (and I led the HB chorus) and I turned …. Well, you get the picture. Anyway, way too much birthday cake last week so it’s back to fiber bars this week!

All 25 are on and working, It was a fun little project, that until I got into it, I really didn’t know how bad it needed to be done. The old fixtures were in terrible shape from corrosion. In fact I can not believe they were all still burning but every one of them were. To do this job would be a long day or day and a half as long as no “Riggers” have had their hands on the project before. The new fixtures being LED’s should last much longer than the originals. The printed circut boards were epoxied in 100% and water should not affect them. The electrical connection is the only thing that might be a worry. I used the correct size butt connectors and heat srink tube. All of the connectictions I worked back inside the bus so there was no connection inside the light housing. Of course keeping water out from behind the stainless panels is very important also. I had a couple of gaskets that were questionable but I used a dab of clear silicone to repair them.
That with the exception of the 5 under the front bumber. I had to work the connection behind the light fixture. If I didn’t do that the connection would be inside the spoiler under the bus and subject to more water and corrosion. I would recommend talking to Bill “the chrome man” about getting you the new gaskets that fit behind the lights. The gaskets behind the prevost fixtures can be made from 1/8″ X 2″ foam tape that you can find at a box store or your local HVAC shop.
I would suggest you take a look at your old marker lights if you have not already converted them. I would be willing to bet if you have a vintage coach and have not been changed they are in very poor shape. I will put a materials and tools list on my next post and hope it may be helpful to other here.
I can not tell you all how this forum and the find folks here have helped me with this new STEAP learning curve I am trying to master.

Is it possible the downstream part of the aux air system has a leak and it takes both compressors to keep up? The reason for the question is you said the aux compressor will bring the pressure up but it falls off rapidly.

Obviously there is a leak, but if you bring that to Prevost you will find their standard for “leak free” when it comes to the leans is 3 days. I clearly understand why that is not acceptable.

Try this highly scientific cure……
I would guess it’s a sticky valve. Machine gun the level low button and it should be OK.

Prevost also has scales like Jeff’s ( guess they know who to copy). Fort Worth put mine on their scales at no charge so I could record the weights. After doing so and using the Michlien pressure guide and PC brains I made significant changes to my tire pressures on all axles. -

Hell is not even a little chilly. In fact it is bikini weather down there.
It will freeze over when a) I actually turn my phone on all the time, b) my phone has the ability to text and receive voice mail, and c) when I can take pictures, surf the web, open my garage door, or lock my bay doors from it.
In reality my use or change of phones will not be anywhere near as noteworthy in the annuls of history as when people stop using the cell phone when driving, dining with others, or any of the multitude of other things that have to be interupted to answer or look at the phone. When that happens Folks in Hell will be burning their cell phones to stay warm.
Bah, humbug…………..

Right now I am not sure how to even get there. But if I figure that out I will take a gander.

George gets a gold star for his post because he is cautioning about letting folks not familiar with a Vantare work on one.
Their inverter and electrical system is not like most conversions. That does not mean it is no good, it just means someone thinking “conventional system” is going to possibly not do proper work on a system that does not mimic the others.
Both Ben at Parliament and Donny Meyers should be the only people to provide advice on that system. They know it well and will keep you or a mechanic out of trouble.
