8DA from me is 582.62 and 8dL is 590.12, so Jon is close with his 6000 number for comparison.

Can you pull a 5th wheel with that Chevy Tahoe !!!!!!!!!

I have seen some pretty nice 5th wheels with slides. :-))

[Gerald]

Pat, would never use weights. Either use Equal or install Centramics….preferably the latter. Geo.

I’d say just get started with small claims. Whether you saw him do it or not it’d still be a he said she said. I even wonder if cameras would really show it. It might….. Might not.

Their actions after the fact though are probably telling and the guy will probably mouth off in court if he even Shows up. I’d think that a judge would look in your favor. It’s not a criminal trial….. no beyond a reasonable doubt business.

Those marks as so peculiar…. You didn’t find anything around their shop that could have done that? If you did and they could “match up…” that and the tech joyride would be a slam dunk to me.

Coulda been a backed up uturn…. Not gonna lie…. I dragged our rear just a bit doing that. Ugh…. Only myself to blame there.

Thanks Peter. But the green paint is on bus frame in board from muffler on th skid form. Butt having to leave the bus in this “shop setting” for emissions testing is the only avenue per insurance excuse. We don’t have that luxury to drive away from a shop that emissions heavy duty vehicles in colorado. If you don’t vacate your bus, NO emissions test will be done. Result, no test, then you can’t renew your license sticker. No new license sticker, you can’t drive the bus. Those of us registered in Colorado who live in counties with Emissions Testing, and the test is a farce, observing exhaust opacity, how smoky it is, must comply . We had parked out on the street, and that’s where the tow truck/test tech met us. We had to step out of the bus, and he drove off on a clandestine route to where their “Dyno” was. Who knows WHAT he backed over. I’m going to have S n S do an inspection as well when we have the muffler replaced. Elgin-parts just told me parts are coming out of Dallas, so we should have them Tuesday????

So, when an present or future bus owner asks about LLC’s , immediately a jumping conclusion happens and some yell sales tax evasion. To avoid this catastrophe again we may consider licensing elsewhere. So we’ve paid our tax. This is self preservation. Well, this dented ripped adventure is costing us $861.26, plus an appointment $$$$ at Stewart Stevenson. The owner of this shop lied to us to cover for his employee, we are sure of it. But as I stated above, we have a “he said, they said” situation . So, now we will consider a video system for the bus when we vacate, since we have video driving down the road to record bone head drivers who try to be “cute” like jamming on the brakes two feet in front of us going 60 mph. It’s sad the shop owner won’t own up, yet accusatory words directed at me that we are novice big rig drivers

There is no ribbing or kidding allowed on this forum. Anybody that has done so has seen their dues double.

Call him they may do them for XL also

ck first with all power disabled look for any signs of doscoloration/over heat around terminals of switching gear. Now observation- sometime a tired breaker of transferr switch will go ahead and work with a power surge. what happens with age is springs become soft and contacts become pitted or burned/have been overheated. You can be a parts changer and start with transfer switch or figure it out your self with a multi meter. No one ever wants to comment on elect problems so please don’t take this as anything except basic info/a place to start. I often call them ghost!!!!

Web page is. prevostbumpertrims.com

Thanks for all the responses and great information. We have been told the information is coming, but that they are

really busy. We have inquired about several coaches at different dealerships, and the information we usually

receive in the end is that the coach has been sold. Are people really buying a coach sight unseen with no info?

I left inverter 2 off for the last few days. Been plugged into shore power using A/C bypass with very little load except roof air. Batteries are reading OK and when I fired up #2 inverter the overcurrent condition did not refault. Thanks for all the input and I’m sorry I drug this out so long!!

I’m having a few items being done at a shop near me…tour company with alot of Prevosts on the yard. My toll window acts up intermittently. I asked about replacement and was told Prevost gives 8 hours and the motor/mechanism itself was, I think, $300 or so…. He went on to say it usually takes them about 5 hours.

Anyway, enough to where I decided to let it get a bit worse before I go for that! I might just go with duct tape and a WalMart shopping bag to cover up the hole!

OK>>>>UPDATE.

Dave (the technician doing my work) called me yesterday….said he had looked at my H3-45 toll window situation and said it would only take “a couple of hours”. He indicated he had taken the switch panel off and seen the apparatus within reach and rather than being rivetted, as some are, it was bolted. He was confident it is an easily doable job….we’ll see. ty

Chuck: Did you do it all yourself? Isn’t it satisfying when you can solve a problem by yourself with a little advice and counsel from your friends!

Chris, no question American RV Park is the best in Albuquerque. It’s on the west side with easy access to I40 and Central Ave which is old 66. Santa Fe Skies is the definite winner in Santa Fe. It’s very easy access to the Plaza and all of Santa Fe and surrounding area. Both parks have excellent staff.

I am not familiar with the circuit or device that has the fuse, but you will be able to charge the house batteries by running the engine.

As they charge and reach a full charge all the house systems will work. I will yield to Jeff on a diagnosis regarding the generator not charging via the inverters. It does sound like a transfer switch issue.

FWIW, your back up in instances like this is the engine. With it running you have AC or heat, your house batteries are getting charged and everything should be working. That allows you the luxury of dealing with the problem you are having at your convenience and with people you trust and know.

Don’t worry about the engine. Running it 24/7 is not going to harm it.
