A big thanks to Dan n Judy hosting the rally at Catherine’s Landing. We had a plus to the rally location besides “totality”, friends i worked with in Yellowstone National Park during my tourbus driving experience live in Hot Springs. Wayne was my dispatcher and his wife Laurie was Head Tourguide. We hadnt laid eyes on each other since the mid 80’s. When they came for a visit late afternoon after the eclipse, they both squeezed the stuffing out of me.

You say you plug in the engine heater? Mine (and my ’88) had a push button in the coach for engine block heater. If it’s that’s cold and I am running my Webasto the engine is already warm if I need to start. I still like to turn on the engine block heater for 30-60 minutes but have never found a need for more (and we just spent 6 weeks in ND!).

Sounds like a few things that can be fixed later. Great negotiation power.
Just buy it and enjoy.

John,
it is from Falcon Electronics. (4G/WIFI/GPS Live Viewing 1080P 3-8 Cam MNVR with SDD). I ordered it with the upgraded night vision cameras and their 10″ monitor. For the dash, I installed a 9″ from Beetronics.

I’m probably too late for you but, fwiw, I’ve had much better longevity from stemco.

Well done David. I always carried the 3 sensors that normally shut you down, oil pressure, high coolant temp and low coolant. Never had to use them over the years, guess it was good ju ju.

I want to sincerely express my gratitude to everyone in the Prevost community, and especially to those who offered feedback on this situation. It has never been my interest to post issues online – especially in a private community. In this case, I felt the need to warn others should they come in contact with not only the seller, but any virtual Prevost transaction that could render others vulnerable. As many of you noted, there is an infinite amount of scams online. While I now do not doubt that the coach is real, the way the sale was handled – extensive communication between the seller and myself, more than considerable financial expense on my end, and an unexpected cancellation / “decided not to sell” – was highly unethical. I don’t want to instigate any ongoing argument on this forum. I did respond to the seller’s post as I felt it was important to prove inaccuracies in his statement regarding the deposit. Yesterday he returned my deposit. I plan to privately handle any other communication regarding my additional expenditures in this transaction. You all are a fantastic group and I am very appreciative of everybody’s input and those that have shared their own experiences with fraudulent transactions online. Regardless of what, where, and how, we help each other by sharing and preventing future negative experiences.

The explanation I was given (true or false is unknown) but it makes since to me was, the normal position for your arms are down by your side (IFS at normal ride height), you can raise your arms over your head (ride height lowered) for awhile but that’s not were they are meant to stay long term. It’s hard on the ball joints of the IFS long term.
I am open to opposing thoughts/opinions. Explanation made since to me and I know the previous owner of my coach stored it in the down position and I had to have the IFS rebuilt. Major failure was the upper A arms.

Both my ’88 and ’98 Country Coach’s had a dedicated 30 amp circuit and on/off switch at the drivers position. I am surprised to hear that this is not standard across the board. Of course, if I needed to fire up the Webasto in the morning to take off the chill the block heater is not necessary. But if it’s been chilly and I have been away from the bus the block heater will have the engine ready to crank in less than an hour (not hot, but warm enough). I find that the series 60 is MUCH more tolerant of the cold than my 8V92. The 8V REALLY needed to be warm before you tried to fire it up!

I used the 3M # 90 and it seems to be holding well but I need to suspend the fuel and electrical from the overhead and on sidewalls.
Going to try the suggestion Jon gave. -
We do what bill suggested for decades. And we are still alive to talk about it.

I switched my dash lighting to LED and was having troubles too.
I called PrevostPass and after checking everything they advised me to remove
the rehostat. Everything working fine now.
