Harry,
This is what a proper 50 amp RV connection looks like:

All,
Thank you for the suggestion in Kemah.

Good catch Jerry, many would not even think to check the tire for damage, it could have been a disaster at interstate speeds.

Mark3101,
I see now what you are talking about. The spaces above the retarder switch and the above the cruise ‘set’ buttons are blank on our steering wheel.
I’ll push them next time in the coach to see what happens (there are no markings on those buttons).
Jon, we don’t have a rocker switch with a bugle on it.
Safe travels,
Mark

Colder weather has always resulted in occasional minor leaks in the air and coolant systems on the coach and the cure is vigilance to spot them, and a screw driver or wrench to tighten the fitting or clamp.
There is one thing true about all our coaches and that is we constantly have to be observant when it comes to little things. Minor leaks of coolant, air and oil will never repair themselves and as soon as we realize we have a leak we should fix it. Since my service interval is 5000 miles I have a lot of opportunity to notice wet spots, hear a slight air leak, or see some black around a fitting for an oil line.
I not only try to fix the leak, I also use brake cleaner, Simple Green or some means by which I can clean and dry the area of the leak so it is on my radar for checking the next time I service the coach. We don’t need to be a mechanic to tighten a fitting and we don’t need special skills to find leaks. They can be wet oily spots such as behind the pulley on the AC compressor, or at any oil line, they can be a drip of coolant showing up on the bottom of a tube or fitting, or they can be the slight hiss of air that should not be. I attack them with a vengeance because if maintenance is deferred over time they add up and then trying to stop the leaks becomes a major project.
Some leaks I accept because the cost in time or money to fix them is unjustified, but they are rare, and at every service interval I make an effort to completely clean the area around the leak. A clean engine or clean engine compartment makes leak detection significantly easier than when everything in the engine area is wet and greasy.
If you have more bales of Benjamins than you need, let someone else have your coach to fix leaks. But be aware it can real expensive, real fast. If on the other hand you want to get to know your coach, make the effort yourself to poke around looking at things, tightening those things that just need a little twist and keeping everything as clean and dry as possible. It is not difficult.

You can add Foretravel to that list.

It looks like they are in the midst of a redesign.

Guys,
I sent an email to a Prevost contact I had from other past issues and he indicate that have them at all their locations… I think about 70 of them in US but they are not a Tire dealer so they can’t ship them so you need to go to one of their locations to get them. Not Ideal and you can’t use the advantage program so it would be around 6K out the door for 4 so I might just roll the dice and wait for them to come in stock locally…

Greater rolling resistance = lower mpg. Greater patch = more stress/wear on steering components. Wider tires = more road noise all the time. Cost and availability. Propensity for uneven wear. It looks cool though.

Jon,
H-3 Vantare does the same. Have 2 Cruise-airs in the spare tire bay and suck air in through the front grill and discharge out the bottom. Additional basement air in third bay behind the generator, assessable from the driver side. Basement air draws in air from louvered panel in bay door and discharges out the bottom.

Harry,
Happy Birthday.
All the answers to your questions are in your Prevost Manual.

It is very discouraging when someone doesn’t call you back! I recently had this happen from a salesman from Rockwell TX. I ended up buying another coach from a different dealer. They must not need the sale!

Of course I’m pushing the right button… It flushes!

Prevost doesn’t sell coaches, who are you talking about?
