We often touch on and sometimes get into detail about the fast moving technology employed on our coaches. Jeff has extensive knowledge and experience and can elaborate to the extent required.
Depending on who is attending, we may touch upon the Prevost use of multiplex, or we may have Tom get into detail regarding TPMS. Attendees drive the seminars. When we know the demographics relating to attendees we adjust how we address certain topics. We walk a fine line between trying to answer questions relating to a specific coach or system, and important general knowledge. We three are on site prior to and after the seminar so attendees can continue to ask questions and get specific knowledge.

I’m sorry Loc. Did we wake you? I was guessing you were asleep to not have been all over that opportunity to provide some width (oops I meant wit).

Unfortunately some RV owners act irresponsibly and because of their actions a lot of parking restrictions have been put in place and perception of all RV owners has been tainted a little.
Generally dumping of gray water has to be approved by the owner of a facility. We have had several rally locations with no on site sewer hookups, but gray water dumping on the ground was allowed.
There have been Prevost owners whose dump valves or macerators can be operated via a switch at the dash and those owners have dumped both black and gray while driving or while parked over a storm sewer grate, such as in a parking lot.
Yes you can dump gray water under certain circumstances, but should have permission to do so, and dumping of anything from the holding tank while on the road is just wrong.

Order the shell sans engine?

Today’s engines, their lubricants, their coolants, and the software that controls all that is going on all have been jointly developed to work together.
If an old engine got to 100,000 is was usually worn out, where today it is not unusual for engines to easily reach 200,000 miles, and what is amazing to me is today’s engines are highly stressed putting out substantial power per cubic inch compared to the 70 year old engines, and yet they easily outlast them, do not burn oil and are getting very high mileage.

Thanks for the upfront honest answers and your perspective given your specific circumstances. You mean a great deal to many of us and given we will all aging so the simplicity and smaller concept sure makes sense. Great plan and as always, we appreciate all you and Jon do for all of us.

Les,
Ive had to change the fans on mine a few times it’s a real pain and if you have fans that are working don’t fix what ain’t broke. Just my two cents worth. Plus I’m not sure you can find fans as good as the one you have on it now.

I don’t use tape. I have been using a blue thread dope that Jeff turned me onto.
Rectorseal 31631 1/4 Pint Brush Top Tru-Blu Pipe Thread Sealant
Prior to that used various pipe sealants, but rarely teflon tape.

That looks like an ETLC update.

Great explanation, for the “new guys”
Heart felt thanks for all the work that goes to starting and growing the group.

Generally fuel starvation is not a sudden stop like when a key is turned off. As fuel flow stops it usually is a gradual thing and usually if you take your foot off the pedal the engine continues to get enough fuel to idle. And with fuel starvation usually the engine has to be re-primed.

I think every potential purchaser should view themselves as the primary for a pre-purchase inspection. I am not suggesting any of us know all there is to know and therefore we do not need help. I am strongly urging all regardless of experience or knowledge to enlist the aid of professionals to assist, and to follow them around during the inspection, asking questions, making sure every knob, button, dial, switch or lever is actuated to see what is controlled and to verify it all works. That becomes the initial coach training session and if you as a potential buyer ask questions about everything you are getting a hell of a lot out of it, more than a bill or a piece of paper.
If you are too busy to dedicate the time, you have my sympathy.

Liam,
I had the opposite problem taking the ferry out of Haines, AK. We had to load at Low tide and the ramp was crazy steep and less than 1.5 – 2″ on the clearance… I took it slow and the watched me close. I was the first one in then had to make a 90 degree turn to get in my lane. Its been 5 years but as I recall I didn’t have to us level low…
Good luck and take your time!

We are friends and, therefore, I am allowed to call you names … 🙂
So, I am calling you totally nuts for saying you drive for 12-14 hours before you stop for the night!
You are a menace on the road and you are endangering lives!
If you were a professional truck driver, I could see but not condone driving for that many hours and they are not allowed to, anyways.
You are not a professional CDL driver and driving a +/- 54,000 lbs machine can turn you into a deadly missile really easy and very fast!
Crina should kick your ass really hard and demand that you stop driving after 6-8 hours, max.
In that way, you would also be able to enjoy the scenery and not get cramps holding on to the steering wheel and trying to keep your eyes open.
I am surprised to note that nobody else has the guts to tell you this!
Anyway, I am hoping that you will arrive at PL safe and sound!
Happy Fall and Winter!
Cheers,
Ronald
