I would suggest weighing each axle so the tire pressure can be set for your coach. With that said, I’m sure you have yours too high. It looks like you have a 40′ Coach so it weighs less than mine, and my recommended pressures are 105 front, duals 95 and tag 75.

John Deere Has a shc compliant oil

Somebody mentioned on a FB Prevost group that their Prevost mx manual recommends Mobil SHC 634 for the fan drive gearbox, so I did a little more research. In the Prevost mx manual for 1990-2000 XL, I have found reference to use 3 different oils for the fan drive gearbox. ????????

1) Mobil SHC 630 – Section 5, para 8.3, item 7 on p. 5-15.

2) ISO VG 460 – Section 24, para 7.1 on p. 24-7: and para 7.4, on p. 24-9; para 8., p. 24-11.

3) Mobil SHC 634 – Section 24, para 8., on p. 24-11.

We don’t typically watch TV that often while on the road. It’s rare that I go to the effort to rescan the TV for an overnight stay and sometimes I don’t even do it for several nights.

Having Dish was nice in that regard but when the TrackStar was obsolesced by the frequency modulation change we have not seen the need to replace it. Longer trips will likely change that but until then the technology changes too fast to make it worth the investment,

I’ve been using Opti Bond Tire Gel, it’s water based and last for a long time. It also has Uv protectants in it.

Thanks Don, I have taken all old insulation out, replaced all water lines. Looks like I’ll have to pull engine. I’ll do that another day

What lever Greg? For leveling the only thing I know of is a rotary switch on a pure Prevost level low or switches.

How long does it take for it to overheat? Minutes or hours?

Thanks for the heads up Jerry, never know what’s fact or fiction these days.

It is always a good idea to check out stories like this one. The following is from Snoops and tells a different story for what these cars are, why they were scrapped and, no, the batteries are not leaking, in fact the batteries have all been removed:

“In 2021, social media users began circulating photographs purporting to show a “boneyard” near Paris, France, that supposedly housed hundreds of derelict electric vehicles, the automobiles supposedly having been abandoned and left to decay because their battery storage cells had “given out” and were too expensive to replace:

Although the photographs are real; the accompanying description is misleading in multiple ways. This item is, in effect, an example of a failed business model rather than a failed technology.

Back in 2011, the Autolib program offered the service of providing thousands of electric vehicles in the Paris area under a car-sharing program. Subscribes to the service were able to use the any of the fleet of 4,000 BlueCar cars as they wished, paying a fee each time depending upon how long they used the vehicle. At its peak in 2016, the program boasted 110,000 subscribers.

However, Autolib slid from that peak into decline, due to a number of factors: Four thousand cars for over 100,000 subscribers meant many users were unable to find vehicles when they wanted them; users frequently left the cars dirty inside and damaged; and competition from ride-hailing apps such Uber eroded the customer base. By 2018, Autolib was running debts of tens of millions of euros and the program was discontinued in June of that year.

In the end, most of the BlueCars in better condition were purchased and re-sold to new users or scrapped for parts. But a private company eventually stored some of the cars in not-so-good condition in a lot in an industrial area near Romorantin in Loir-et-Cher, as seen above — not because the vehicles’ storage cells had failed, but because the Autolib car-sharing program not to be a viable long-term business model.

It is also not the case that the abandoned Autolib BlueCars’ batteries are “draining toxins into the ground.” As noted in reports on the subject, the batteries have been removed from the pictured vehicles”
