Dash cams are the best. It should be the law every vehicle has one. Just think of the lawsuits it would save and therefore the insurance rates.

Good to hear you are underway Eric. We worried about you last night.

All Ms. Welcome Centers have dump stations and most other Ms. rest areas also.

Will check into those Mark, Thanks.

My first motor home trip was to Expo 67 in Montreal with my parents. I always thought we rented a GMC but clearly it wasn’t made yet. But that is what it looked like.
so would it have been a Dodge Travco? What else looked similar?

Ouch. That hurt.

Do you already have the “Service Manual” for your coach?
If you do, you can look at Section 3 “Fuel System” a few pages in will explain how to access the fuel tank and the fuel tank fittings. There should be 2 access panels. Removing the one on the passenger side of the coach might give you enough access to look at the location where the converter connected the generator fuel line into the fuel system.
If you don’t have a “Service Manual” yet go here and obtain all or part of the appropriate manual for your coach.
If you have already looked in the access panels, disregard all of the above.

I would suspect coolant manufacturers and engine manufacturers suggest coolant life (and changes) as 2 years out of an abundance of caution.
I am sure we all could push the life of all fluids to an extent with no measurable damage, but when a coolant is no longer functioning properly and its protective features are used up cavitation in the engine becomes a very serious problem and the potential to experience it ramps up significantly.
As owners we can all decide what we think is an appropriate maintenance schedule for our coaches and in fact as long as we understand all factors such as having fluids tested there is probably no harm in basing maintenance intervals on such testing.

Thanks’ guys I will convey info to monaco customer, He said that there was no gauge on that adjustment ??

I use to do the same thing thing when we had a 1980 Liberty, with the 1 large 200 gallon stainless fresh water tank I would just add a little to drive with, it use to belong to my dad, and he gave me a hard time about it and said the bus is 40,000 pounds the water tank is not going to make much difference.

Ronald,
It is an interesting stop & a good way to spend a morning or afternoon. We stayed here last year, and they should be able to handle you & your stacker okay. I’d recommend making reservations, especially now that some schools are out for the summer. http://elkhartcampground.com
We enjoyed seeing you both again.
Travel safe…

Dan,
I was just wondering. Did you try and open the front door at all or was it totally jammed? I figured that if it did open, that it would probably not close.
So glad that you both weren’t hurt.
Safe travels,
Mark

I will look for a picture of the rear before I replaced the camera. It was a real task to run the new cable. The picture is outstanding in full day light. I have not had it out a night yet.
The old camera is a Sony. It was mounted inside the rear and accessed through a cover in the closet. It did not have a shroud and it protruded at an angle ~2” beyond the rear wall. The fit was tight. Silicone around the exposed area.
The new camera is much smaller. I have it mounted where the old one was mounted. My issue is the difference in the size of the hole with the new camera. I like Jon’s idea of a stainless steel or brushed aluminum plate over the entire opening, and mounting to that new plate. I have a brushed aluminum shroud that can be mounted onto that plate to cover the camera. I would need to find someone that could do that a make it right.
i also like the corian plate that was shown. It would be nice to one piece molded, the base plate to mount and the shroud. Like what is shown earlier pictures in the stream.
I will post a picture of the old Sony. It is big.

I’m still in training. I have such a multi-step procedure to get into the garage without knocking over the garage or tearing the spoiler off the top of the bus every in or out of the garage is a practice session.
Even if I manage to not damage the bus or garage going in or out, I still have to go through multiple steps raising and lowering the coach at various points so I do not high center the bus or drag the rear underside including the generator and engine exhaust tips on the ground.
I guess driving a Prevost has the potential to expose us to stuff we don’t even imagine. We don’t have a clue about all the experiences folks have but rather not talk about.

My 1989 had a diff temp gauge; my 1999 did not. The bung was there, I have installed one in my ’99 and I feel it’s absolutely essential if you do heavy towing. I could exceed 300F oil temp if I were careless.
