Brian,

I second what AL said…. I am from St. Louis and travel to branson often. This past Memorial day lost a lower hose and ended up spending the night on the side of 65 until the next day.

I’m always looking for quality service providers.

Joe,

I doesn’t seem like it now, but we were all Noobees. Glad to hear you are happy with Jeff.

We believe you are correct Jim. We started out by calling Prevost. They gave us the name of three places in Hobbs that might be able to help us: (1) Bruckner Truck Sales. Called them and they said they had no mobile service. We then called the next recommended place (2) Hobbs Diesel. They didn’t even know what a Prevost was. Said all their trucks were out in the oil fields. I asked them to call me back. They never returned my call. The next place recommended was (3) Watson Truck Supply in Hobbs. They didn’t do service calls.

Now I had no recourse but to ask one of the companies recommended by Prevost if there was anyone else in town who might be able to help us. They gave use the name and number for American Equipment in Hobbs. We called them. They came out about 36 hours later. That is now who we are working with. And yes, I believe we are being taken advantage of. We have no other options. We are now having a cram course in Prevost Air Systems using the maintenance manuals & parts manual that came with the coach.

Any additional advice from anyone would be greatly appreciated.

Likewise as the McLains s, we won’t make it either. It’s too far to go for a weekend. Always wanted to see Lazy Days, and could have stopped in at Suncoast to get our foggy dual pane windows repaired

1.5 gallons of coolant!!!??? If you check regularly, this is an unusually large amount of coolant to use in a short time unless you just flushed or something which may have introduced some air in the system. Hope you don’t have coolant in your engine internals.

I have never had a coach that would keep the air bags inflated more than a few days including my present Prevost.

If this is damaging to the bags , what is the cure other than starting the coach every 3 days?

I have Konis on the front and no problem raising the front above ride height.

For the big awning on the passenger side I always use a couple of heavy duty zip ties up high on the brackets for additional security.

The hole in the diaphragm is to allow the pressure to balance on both sides of the diaphragm. If it is plugged or blocked the valve will not shut off the water flow in the desired amount of time or even not at all. There is another factor in the Headhunter flush and that is a valve usually mounted to the rear side of the toilet. That valve can be opened or closed slightly to adjust the water level in the bowl.

The operation of the toilet is pretty simple once the elements are understood. The solenoid which is actuated with the switch on the side of the toilet is what trips the diaphragm from its seat and initiates the flush cycle. When power is removed from the solenoid and water flows through the small hole in the diaphragm the flush valve shuts down.

I see double hose clamps on both fluid connections for backup insurance.

Joel,

It doesn’t make any sense for you to have house problems from having the chassis 12/24 off. Almost sounds like a coincidence. I think your on the right track with a call to Troy.

“Got a email this morning and it would be kinda cool. Some of you all have nice coaches. My 91 would be on the antique page. LOL.”

I think regardless of vintage Kari should be contacted. My point is nothing emphasizes why we have a Prevost coach better than seeing decades old coaches in beautiful condition that have hundreds of thousands of miles left and decades of service still available.

Every time a show features Prevost conversions the emphasis is always on glitz and gadgets. Yet the underlying reason most of us buy one is because the coaches are so well built and reliable that long after the plastic coaches are sitting in a field with weeds growing around them our coaches still look great and are nowhere near ready for the scrap heap.

Just my opinion.

[Georges]

Please do post the dates again, for those of us who haven’t kept up.

Jon,thanks for the tip. I’ll have to try that. If I screw up I can always replace the section.
