Dale can’t figure out the hoses, can you diagram it on paper and attach a photo of it?
Thanks

Bob & Terri,
There is a nice KOA in Wade NC. Wade is 14 miles north of Fayetteville, NC and that puts it about mid point between New Jersey and the middle of Florida. Tom was the campground manager while I was there. If you decide to stop and overnight tell him I said Hello. However, that won’t get you a discount.
If I recall the exit number is 61. Easy off, left turn and the KOA is within 1/2 mile of the exit. Easy back on the next morning too.

My DDEC II equipped 1989 5-speed automatically checked for low fluid level. Nobody seemed to know why I would get a ‘do not shift’ warning light on cold starts which would remain for several minutes until the fluid warmed (expanded) and then go out. I finally figured out it wanted to be fed.

Thank you Hector,
Although I am presently assigned in KY right now, I am being relocated to Houston, TX in December.
I will be about an 1 1/2 hours from your listed location. May I come talk to you when it is convenient?

Georges,
Before you give up, take it to John Silver at Central Florida Bus in Lakeland, FL. His web site is http://www.flbusman.com. He is great with all coaches and is honest with his work. I have not been to his shop, but have met him at the Southeast Busnuts rallies. His father Wynn Silver started the business years ago with a fleet of Eagle buses running tours. Good folks.

I drove through both in the first part of May and would add these are nice parks. The one near Destin will likely be better if you want to explore Destin and will likely have less road noise than the other. Personally, a daily rate approaching $100 is too much for what they are. It’s off season so the rates will be better.

Thanks for the warm welcome guys!
Russ White is presently returning from a 3 months trip with his daughter. They are on the home stretch of the trip and should arrive home in a week or so.
His daughter, Cynthia put together an awesome blog http://westwiththewhites.blogspot.com/
She really did a first class job; pictures and commentary are first rate!Russ is a great guy. He has helped me with some basement AC issues. It seems the SCS basement ACs circuit boards were built with light weight wire. Russ (being an EE) corrected that little issue by replacing the wires and connections with a heavier duty wire. Everything is working great now on both of our Newells, and this has been a good summer to test it out. Mine is coach #512 and his is #530 (I think).
We are both rock solid on keeping our Newells – it’s just in our blood!

The word is “bubble tight“!
The pneumatic systems in our coaches provides us with that luxury, smooth ride. But it is complex, dynamic and has many opportunities for leaks. My goal is to manage the pneumatic systems such that pesky leaks don’t become a maintenance problem. It take a significant effort to “tighten up” a coach in the age group such as mine, but the results are worth it.
The result of my quest for a leak free coach is I have learned much about the Prevost suspension system. It is very robust and manageable.
All the comments by others are good comments. My coach has an axillary air compressor that now runs so infrequently, I can not remember the last time I heard it run. I will check the axillary system pressure on occasions to assure it is at pressure.
So, it is possible to manage leaks on our coaches, but it does take determination.
The previous owner that stated that they all leak is partially correct. I believe it is most difficult to have a leak free coach, but much easier to have a manageable suspension system. I “tightened up” the suspension system on my bus and it lasted for three years before needing any attention. So, it does not require constant attention once repaired.
I use a hand sprayer, with a soapy solution as my main tool of choice. For the hard to find leaks, I use the famous Texas Bubbler. It finds them all.
I am currently in Upper Peninsula Michigan, Sault Ste Marie, Mi and the weather has turned cooler. High today in the mid 60’s and my pneumatic system is holding great. If you have any minor leaks, they will become major leaks in cooler weather.
Tom, Maybe we should have a leak finding party on your bus???
Good Luck,
Hector
