    One thing for sure, when the weather turns cold, you’ll discover your air and coolant leaks.

    I think you rulled led out the air bags Pres since it stays up with level low.

    AHA Well, there’s definitely plenty of oil in the compressor; I guess I’ll just top off freon as usual.

    Is there any way the oil level (fluid level) in the compressor could be rising?

    If the compressor is still running, the problem may simply be a bad defrost heater.

    You can test that by completely deicing the freezer-turning it off /opening freezer door. If after that it cools fine for several days, your problem is a bad defrost heater.

    These are not hard to replace, but having long arms helps. Plenty of utube videos that show how.

    I purchased 3 more bags today and i purchased them from prevost. What found is the front and the tag axle take the same bag and the drive axle takes a different one …. just my luck!

    Our front driver’s bay door, the rear passenger side engine bay door and the electric bay door just in front of the engine bay door (engine batteries, etc.) are not on the automatic loop, manual only.

    Most often when we see salvage title we think body damage caused by accident.

    Another salvage is fire where someone fixed the damage doing a very poor job. Be aware there are very cleaver and talented people who repair body and fire damage and totally fail to do it correctly.

    Another thing to question when considering a bus. Ask about the title, do you have it, ask to get a copy to inspect.

    Car and truck flood titles are all over the USA. Many states due to pressure from resellers simply use a different color paper that flags salvage or flood title.

    hey guys, I just bought my first Prevost and pick it up a week from Wed in Az and driving it back to Nashville, tn.

    I see many of the owners are car guys. I’d love to try and make the show if not this winter show. What’s the normal turn out number wise in cars?

    I tend to buy, sell and trade around for fun and always have a few on hand. I haven’t noticed yet, but it there a forum on here for posting you classics, muscle cars and streetrods for sale or trade?

    Buddy & Dan have given some good places to startlooking. On our coach (45 ft) the breaker boxes Buddy mentions are in the 3rd bay, curb side, adjacent to the power transfer switch. Our batteries & inverters are located in the 4th bay, curb side. You also should have the inside main breaker box Buddy mentions, curb side behind the sliding/pocket bedroom door, midway up the wall.

    You may also have some ground fault outlets that have tripped if everything else checks okay – we have one on each side of the bed, one for the outlets on each side of the coach, plus one in the basement. If they’re tripped, we get nothing on that side of the coach.

    We also have a set of AC power meters that are turned on with an overhead button switch over the steering wheel. Once the meters are on you can monitor the line voltage & amp draw on each leg – our setup has the meters right next to the gen oil press & coolant temp. If you start your genset, and after a 30-45 sec wait see no voltage on your meters, check the breaker(s) on the genset itself.

    Are you sure your inverters are turned on?

    Good luck…
