If you don’t have plans and enjoy a cocktail, the Emma hotel at the Pearl Brewery complex is excellent and the converted buildings very interesting. Cappy’s is well known to locals but not a tourist destination for a casual upscale meal.

Kirby, I wish it were that simple, no I have a failure internal to the lock, hoping just a clip and rod fell off, but most likely not that lucky.

What improvements could I do to my new bus?

I have numbers on my policy they will pay if there is a total loss, if they want to dispute that in a loss then I will have to fight it.

I might have an advantage as to what type of insurance I have because I am looking at my policy.

We all know insurance rates are going to skyrocket. I`ve changed three companies in 5 yrs to keep agreed value. My plan when this gets stupid expensive is to “part time” my policy just like my autos when out of service for several months. The autos, Bus ,etc must be housed at your residence so the umbrella policy/ homeowners covers it.

I guess that depends. If you have not driven a coach before or have an air brake class drivers licence then I would not grant a request to test drive my coach. Now if it were you or someone of your driving caliber then I would probably agree. Guess I answered my own question.

I got my blanks from Prevost because local shops didn’t have them and they ain’t cheap! Standard shops with the new hi falootin lazer machines couldn’t cut them. Had to take them to a locksmith who had a manual machine. Had to go back three times until they got them right.

Always remember that the key is the key! You see what I did there?

Sure it’s oil and not power steering fluid? Had an issue a few years back and it was an o ring on pump. Hard to get to across batteries and behind motor but it was my problem. On starter side and running down. Mine leaked over a weekend on floor. Only way I could tell was clean area with brake cleaner and start and run and watch from top above batteries. If you can remove cover over bed it would be easy peasy. Mine doesn’t have that access. After having blower seals replaced last year at Stewart Stevenson had a oil leak and found out valve covers leaking. My engine was spotless until I had it in for seal replacement.

Jim & Chris,

Good luck in your search. 0592 has been at TGO in Titusville since November.

Not a very warm winter there either. Hope to see you guys on the road.

We miss you.

After 6 non slide Prevosts, the current single slide H is pretty amazing with the extra living space. Gee, I’ve only had to manually retract the slide in 6 months just once.

Sure do miss just turning the key and making smoke.

Now I have to make sure there is no foreign objects on top the slide, drop the nose down to let any water run off, get to ride height, open the toll window, make sure the rug is rolled up, piss off the non Prevost campers who don’t know why the dumb ass next to him is running his engine at high idle, press and hold the slide in button and if all works out, high 5 mstruk cause the slide is in and locked and then hit the road.

So do I miss my non slides, oh ya, but there is happiness in mstruk land.

[glen]

I don’t. It is only on when I want to make a call, and I don’t like anyone enough to want to call them.

And nobody wants to talk to me so it all kind of works out.

Good information BA!

But I’m surprised he didn’t mention one of Progressive Industries Surge Protectors which Is a polarity tester (dual line for 50 amp) & checks the status of the power source.

But I do my digital multi-meter on other things

the info is on page 78

Happy Day!!!

Hi Dan where will you be staying in Naples?

[glen]

Received my new extinguishers today. Included pre-paid return paperwork, use same box. Not a lot of effort required for new extinguishers.

Harry, you have to determine the correct spec for your coach coolant and then verify it is in fact the correct coolant. My gut tells me a GM spec coolant might be OK for an Impala but I have no clue if it is acceptable for a large Detroit Diesel engine.

But if you want to trust others to tell you what is OK for your coach, go for it. I assume you will trust them to pay for the rebuilding of your engine also?
