I know I have been lusting for photos of your progress and look forward to seeing the coach. It has to be a massive undertaking because a lot of the work is spent in taking stuff apart before it can be put together. Few of us ever get into learning the systems as you have had to due to restoration of fire damage.

I am the one that had fuel stolen in Gillette Wyoming from the freshly fueled tanks of my bus. Some A hole thief was just sitting and watching for someone to fuel, then park, and then head out to the resturant while they did the dirty deed.
As a result I felt my tank gauge and the female advisor were giving me erroneous info when stating “Low Fuel” and the dash lights stated “Low fuel”. I kept driving like I had good sense till it died. Called the local road service provider- he brought 10 gallons.
he Got me started and traveled less than a mile to the exit and bought 215 gallons of fuel for a 208 gallon capacity tank that already had 10 gallons from the road service dude. Go figure!
Do you think it was their pump calibration?

I just checked Jim and the coach detail and photos came right up. If anyone else is having a problem let me know. It might not be our site however because I had trouble getting my email earlier,

Fred,
On mine it’s relay R-76 in the rear cabinet and is 24v.

Send them to me Sid, he still uses two tin cans and string to communicate.

Hidden within the secret decoder ring that all new members receive is the instructions regarding the secret handshake.
If I tell any more I will have to turn in my Prevost.

Just to make sure we are all talking about the same thing.
We have 6 large battery disconnect switches on our coach. Two to disconnect the inverters from the house bank, one for the 24V house loads, one for the 12V house loads, one for the 24V chassis loads and one for the 12V chassis loads.
I turn all 6 disconnect switches off whenever I leave the coach without shorepower for more than a few hours. I consider that coach fully shutdown.
Yes, there are still a few phantom loads on the house and chassis banks (e.g. DDEC controller on chassis bank). But these loads should be manageable for a healthy battery bank. The chassis bank last at least a couple of weeks despite its set of phantom loads. I’d expect a healthy house bank to last as long as well. Note there is nothing running other than the “phantom” loads.
Are you guys saying that I have to fully remove the house bank (wiring) to store the bus for 2 weeks. Why have disconnect switches then at all?

They may have fried the equalizer by hooking the Vanner wires up wrong. No experience with OTR, but others will jump in here.

Al,
What are you running 315s on the steer? I was thinking they are rated at 9,000 +/-

See what you started Fred? At least you got some advice before this thread went all to hell. Notice I did not say “good” advice.

Richard,
The system that you have is really a simple one to use. I had the same one on mine. When you flip the toggle switch on the panel you disengage the bus leveling system. The red light on the panel and a light on your dash should be on when the level low in on. When you flip the toggle and turn the level low off your bus leveling is back on when the key is on.
To check to see if this is your setup, turn the key to the on position (do not start) and flip the level low toggle and see if the lights come on. Next while its on, push the three leveling valves and lower the bus to the ground. Next, start the bus, run until the air tanks are full and flip the toggle to turn off the level low, the bus should raise to road height.

You could ask your question in the “ASK PREVOST” thread.
I have tried the so called specialists and they were incompetent, couldn’t even solder in the dryer? ???
Go to Prevost and get it done right.
Just sayin.
