Yes, The invoice says “Quantity 10 Check Jacob Brake” & “Quantity 2 Gasket Rocker Cover”.

Hi Glens, Yes the shop did say they fixed the Jake and performed test drives. All I know is it has not worked since I’ve had the coach. And thanks for checking on the breaker.

I’d just replace the valve. No Harry, this valve has nothing to do with the jakes. Will look tomorrow and see if the jakes have a breaker and where. Might be simple. Did the shop not road check the coach?

Do the AC’s on you’lls pull from the bottom? Mine pulls from the front behind the bumper with one on swing out so you can access the other 2. Discharge out the bottom of coach.

I’m moving South so I think my tire psi’s should go up a little, but at least others have a similiar experience.

The length of the air hose coming from the air compressor to the dryer is important in that it has to be long enough to allow the compressed air to cool down sufficiently for the water vapor to condense so the air dryer can remove it before it enters the air system.
A longer length is good, shorter not so good.

It is a pain dealing with tire pressures but we know pressures are critical to protect the tires and to maintain our safety.
Knowing I had an almost 4000 mile trip and would be not only going to much lower temps, but to a higher elevation which may or may not have an impact.
I topped off my steers at 106 in a 65 degree garage and no sun shining on tires to affect tires on one side. When I pulled out of the garage the PP showed the 106 PSI I inlfated the steers to.
This morning it was 24 degrees and the tires read 99 and 100 PSI. They warmed up to 45-50 degrees and showed 114 and 115 PSI when rolling.
Drives and tag were equally affected and I believe I am going to re-inflate them in the morning before I head back home.

Were your Freedom 25 giving you trouble or did you just update? Did you trade them in on the new ones?
Thanks Herb

That purge of air is normal Harry. That air leaking on back of engine wouldn’t be or isn’t on mine. Think that sounds in the area of the air compressor. Can you access engine from top of coach beneath bed area. I can’t on mine but some (the smart converters) do. If you can, take a look. The Beav. Original.

Thank you for the recommendation! I’ll look into Elk meadows.

Seems silly, but any chance the entry door isn’t getting completely shut? Sounds like the dead bolt could be engaging, but making contact with the door casing instead of going into its lock pocket.

It’s taken me a while to reply about the seminar, but here goes, it was nice seeing everyone again and making new friends. I enjoyed meeting Jeff as he is a wealth of information and I learned that you can always keep learning. ON the way home coming in the east side of Dallas a fast moving rock hauler passed me and threw up a monster size rock and shattered my drivers side windshield. I was due an service check up anyway and now need a new windshield, which is where Jeff’s teaching came in. Like a dummy I thought when a Prevost service center does a Level 3 service it included a air service check, but found out this isn’t the true, so I asked to have the air system check like Jeff explained and found the water separator/filter had both water and oil in it. Now the bus is getting a new engine driven air compressor, moral is when Jeff, Jon and Tom speak, people should listen.

I’m not sure what he is supposed to do … but I think whatever job Buddy has, it looks to me like a really great job!

Definitely in the gadget arena (though all the above safety items should be on board) would be a cellular signal booster if you like having Internet as you travel. When you’re in a metal tube, cellular (and wi-fi) signals are weakened and sometimes you could be camped in an area with low-bar strength to begin with. In general, I think wi-fi can be problematic from a security standpoint, and campground wi-fi is for the most part not worthy of the name. We don’t actually have a booster yet, but every summer (on the road 4-5 months) we wish we did. If we were full-timing, would definitely have one.
