Thought i would just update this thread, when i posted looking for a condenser fan blade, Jon advised me to check with the bus convertor sites, well he was right, today i found a guy only 11 miles from me that was advertising OTR parts for Sale, all items removed 2 months ago from a 40 foot Liberty he was rebuilding / repurposing,and did not want/need the OTR items, i bought all he had removed, got lots more than a fan.
My coach is a 95 Marathon with Prevost OTR, lots of these parts are no longer available, but they are still out there.

Some newer buses are over weight on the steer axle because of all the slides, marble, and gizzmos. The solution is 365s which will handle the weight. If you put’em on the steers, you put’em on the tag too.

Me either. No emails. I do check the Prevost web site. However, nothing pushed to me for any Prevost information including sales.
-
As soon as we bought the bus we set up an account with Prevost, but for some reason I don’t get emails from them, I will call them tomorrow and ask.

Antenna cord was too short to get to the dead center. I could not get the cable up the center window column, or at least I don’t think so. I may try that route again. or move it to the back.

FWIW, I have an XLII that was completely reskinned as a result of delamination. The repair process apparently took place just before Prevost started using the rivet repairs. I have owned the coach for almost 8 years and there is no indication of any loose panels.
Since I always hand wash and dry my coach I would know pretty quickly if I had a delamination issue, but so far no signs of any panels loose at all.
I would definitely have any potential XLII or X3 purchase inspected by Prevost prior to purchase however.

You can get a Roadmaster with Blue Ox ends. This makes it easy…
I use the Roadmaster All Terrain 10,000 lb tow bar and have had others in the past. I like this one bestest, lol

The source of your problem sent me on another investigative tour of our bus. I spent several months when we first purchased our bus in March of 2008 opening and investigating every nook and cranny of the whole coach.
We have developed an odor problem when the bus A/C is running and I slow down for a traffic signal. If the tanks are completely empty, there is no smell, but if they have even one day’s use, then the odor begins as soon as I bring the bus to a stop or near stop with the bus A/C running.
Also, last week we started smelling wet clothes while parked. To be fair, when we are in tent revival, I have wet clothes hanging in the bathroom drying out all the time, but this was excessive.
We have a small corner sink in the commode room and I had removed the panel in the back of that cabinet 11 years ago, but I did not take any pictures or notes. I removed it today and there was the culprit, an air admittance valve. I removed it, purchased a replacement and installed the new one.
We came in from church tonight and no smell of wet clothes.
Maybe this will take care of the bus A/C pulling in holding tank odors too. I will find out in a week or two.

Look Mom…no hands! If you watch this until the end you will see it really is safe.

We replaced ours with a Tecma silence plus. It works great.

Come to think of it, my level low comes on if I forget to set valve to drive height when starting bus for warm up after leveling bus at rv site and forget to put it back after killing engine. Light will stay on when idling.
