The camera used by most conversions is the pan and tilt by total vision…This is a good camera and we have used it on many updates….you do have to run new harness from front to rear…..

To the
best of my knowledge, it works the same way as the X12 wrench that
joelselman was looking for.They are
heavy and a bit unwieldy, but they do work.The leg
of the wrench has to rest against something for it to work. Most
times you can rest the “side” of the leg against an adjacent lug
stud or lug nut. Yes, part of the wrench rests against the wheel and
could scratch it but, I use a well padded rag wrapped and taped to
the leg that would ordinarily touch the wheel and have had no
problems. -
Had a issue with my DishNet today and got 3 foreigners as my Wingard kept hunting for bird in Central Tx. Had the motion dome put on down in Pipe Creek tx. by the bus guys over 6 years ago. They (Dish when I could understand them) kept telling me to call Wingard. Finally did and guy said they just changed format and might promt me to buy another dome and reciever, have the 211K, as they are changing formats and the Wingard couldn’t find the bird. . My coach evry time I took it out after sitting in covered bus barn over a couple weeks, took a call and hit/spike from Dish to get it online. Today no go. Gonna try it again tomorrow and see. Oh and costs me an extra $10 bucks a month on home bill.

Bill helped me out and trouble shot my problem over the phone. Front Cruisair on swing out with rubber hoses kept leaking down after a week or so and 2 new metal braided hoses and a dryer fixed the problem. They are a good bunch for sure.

They take 18 wheelers, so space would not be the issue. My concern would be hitting the tides right such that you do not scrape your front or bottom out when entering or leaving the ferry.

Chuck and Lisa,
Not partial to red, NCSU aversion syndrome. Otherwise I’ll say …
SWEET!

Lost good friend Peter. Sucks! back to bus– Have finished milling and finishing with Linseed oil the wild cherry that was cut on our place and prepared on our sawmill the milled into trim to finish the interior. I can pick apart the craftsmanship . Learned allot about making trim. GPS speedo installed. Cracked side window replaced. Got new/used rear bumper. Grandkids got to use toilet for first time. Road tested. Need to adjust air pressure on trans. Really need to address paint this year. Installed 850mhz booster for cell and wifi. Never finished till we are——– just a home builders sickness. Bob

Rusty,
I had dreamed throughout my entire youth about converting a bus on my own. As the years went by and my energy level and available free time diminished I had to let go of that dream and take the easy route. I have great respect for those that take on a home build such as you Bob and others. I love the home builder section of this site. Please keep us posted on your progress. I can still live vicariously through guys like you! Jeff

This is terrible news and shocking as Peter was an inspiration to many of us!!!! Our 2003 Liberty coaches were several serial numbers apart and we spoke on the phone a number of times … He walked me through issues, calmed my nerves and provided much needed “Guidance and Encouragement” when i needed it most…
He will be deeply missed and remembered by many for the “straight talking, no non sense, tell it like it is ” – person he was…. A great loss for not only our group but all he taught and knew him in the horse training trade…
Our thoughts, prayers and good memories go out to all of his family !!
God Speed Peter as you will be dearly missed!
Sincerely,

Some folks scrub the roof with scouring power and apply mop-n-glo. It lasts about 6 months before you need to reapply, but the second time on you do not need to scrub. A lot less expensive to get rid of white stripes. The Bus KOte does provide some additional benefits,

Prevost Fort Worth chased my leaks on 2 separate trips. Never found them but did find my pocket book for a few thousand bucks. A few norgrens valves, ride height valves and other goodies. Then took it to Houston Prevost, Replaced Air bags and more air goodies including one of the Norgrens that was defective they put on in Ft Worth. Takes about a week but still goes down. Faster when cold temps. My coach is haunted.

I don’t think “Stop Engine”, would come on at 208 degrees, if I understand your description.
Your problem sounds similar to ones I have had. But they may be caused by a different problem. Mine was/is an electrical problem because my temperature spikes at 232 degrees in a few seconds. I was able to see this with a Silverleaf by recording information every second.
I still have the problem on occasion but it appears to be reduced by cleaning electrical contacts at the ECM and/or moving wiring to the ECM.
I described it on another board

I haven’t had a “digital” antenna on either of my MH’s, and both worked fine with digital stations.
One benefit would certainly be the removal of the post the raises it into place.
Remember – you want a Omni directional antenna if it is going to affixed to the rig and not able to rotate. OD antennas give up some distance but allow you not have to know where the channels are located.Here is is a link for you to use on the road to find where the broadcast tv is located. This gives all directionality , distance , etc – and it s free.

That would be the perfect switch to:
Immediately quiet the kids / dog OR Even better – make wife call out the info for the next turn!
hmmmm. I better get busy on this 😉 -
Gone,
There are several things you should keep in mind. The first is that not a single person who bought their first Prevost had a clue. Every single one of us was overwhelmed. There is so much to learn and understand all at once it is like drinking from a fire hose. The coach is big, complex, and has so many systems it takes a lot of time just to develop a basic understanding. By asking questions as you come across things you don’t know you are going to learn. That leads into the second thing you have to understand.
A lot of members are going to be able to provide accurate answers to your questions, but some are not going to be accurate. When you get bad or incorrect advice it is not because the people providing the answer are dumb or mean, but their answer is in the context of their coach. Not all Liberty owners, including those with the same model year are going to have a coach exactly like yours so while responses may be correct with respect to their coach, it may not be correct relative to yours. You have to learn how to sort through responses to learn which are accurate.
A third thing we all need to understand is this media called the internet is a poor way to communicate. This is especially true when we need to use eyes and ears to interpret something when words may be inadequate. Technical questions are difficult because we often use most of our senses when we are at a coach trying to diagnose an issue. Trying to describe a noise, or where it is coming from, or seeing something, or even smelling something are all things we lack with the internet. So it is often we talk back and forth trying to zero in on what we are trying to say in both directions. To add to the confusion, joking on a post is often not recognized as a joke and can sometimes be seen as mean or cruel. What helps immensely is getting to know one another by meeting face to face at rallies or any other place we can.
Finally every newbie has to understand how important and valuable their questions are. It is very easy for a new owner to not only feel intimidated by the coach, but by the responses on this forum. If that is the case, refer back to the first paragraph and realize no matter how condescending some answers may seem the writer was once in the exact same place you are. What makes your questions so valuable is there are a lot of people who visit this site and never ask a question or respond to one. You are asking questions many others would like to ask, but for whatever reason they choose not to ask. The good news is as you develop an understanding and knowledge, you are going to be someone who begins helping other new owners.
Hang in there.
