One thing silent in the discussion is a place to stay may not be required to have power or hookups.
I still stick with my original post. Regardless of if a site is available or not Prevost is a secure place to stay. I would have no issue with cranking up my generator and running it for the duration because fuel is cheap now and the generator needs exercise anyway. As a bonus maybe there would be a site you could use, but my primary objective would be the sense of security the locked gates provide.

I signed up thru this site. This is a national program and You pay Michelin directly. The dealer will charge you separately to put them on.

No coach that I am aware of uses all 8 of the same bags. Some have two different part numbers with the drives all being one number and the tag and steer another, and some use three different part numbers with tag drive and steers all different.

While I respect what Prevost says, and agree with what both Jeff and Steve have said this issue goes far beyond a somple “one size fits all” answer.
Anyone that has visited a variety of campgrounds knows there are going to be occasions when we level the coach and it requires one side or one end of the coach to be down as low as it can go. When that happens the coach is sitting on the internal stops in the air bags. Some of us have had to use our suspensions to traverse obstacles and to maximize the clearance at the front or rear one set of air bags may have to be fully inflated, while at the opposite end of the coach they have had to be completely deflated. Or in my case I have no choice but to completely exhaust all air from my rear air bags to be able to enter or leave my garage. In the last two examples the coach is actually being driven while sitting on the bump stops inside the air bags.
I don’t like doing that, but it is how I get my coach into the garage. Is it damaging my air bags? I have never cut one open so I don’t know the answer. I do suspect if there is a chance of damage i have increased the possibility, and I suspect the air bag Tom saw with damaged bump stops had been traveling when the coach was all the way down.
That is one reason why I consider air bag replacement to be something that has to be done to a schedule rather than waiting for a failure. Any travel with failed air bags means the internals on the remaining good air bags are likely to be damaged, so in addition to replacing the failed air bag all others may require replacement also.

I keep 2 coils & valves in stock for that reason. The center one (road position) seems to fail the most because it’s always on with the key and stays hot.

I like just getting a puff of rust dust when you open the drains. Makes for a much cleaner system.

Jon,
It was on a Saturday.
Since it was my second time to use the card, I was confused on why it would not work at the pump (kept giving me an error message). The girl at the counter said that you must use the Love rewards card first, maybe, it’s just that station?
I know everybody says it’s not suppose to work that way but that’s what happened.
I won’t be going back to that Loves. I can go to a Flying J or Pilot. I’m assuming my non ‘L’ card will work there.

Will, this is unlikely related to engine temps at all. It sounds like the DDEC is reading a voltage that is out of range, something that could be associated with something as simple as a bad ground or connector. It could be the sensor, corrosion or poor connection, or a chafed wire.

Thank you both, you are both very informative.

Mark,
You are 100% correct! We have deposit on #807-A and the pictures are still up. I also checked out Mark’s bus! Very nice!!! Happy Palm Sunday to all!!

The fun is about to begin and the kick off was done in style by Jeff and crew cooking on the grill followed by a campfire discussion on how the hell Colt fell out of Jon’s bus while holding two bottles of queezins that hadn’t even been opened yet. It’s a long story folks…

That sounds good! We hope to be there by lunch.

What I am saying mine has the valve cover that comes with motors with jakes the only way to know if u don’t know is to run the serial number of the motor my coach does not have jakes but has the valve cover for one that does ,don’t know why ,it came that way from Prevost but when they looked at it they ran the serial number of the motor just to be sure because of the valve cover, I said it had no jakes but we run the number anyways just to be sure or we would have to take bedroom floor up, and we did not do anything inside coach

Oh oh. Guess I’ll head off to NAPA today and get some muffler and blinker fluid. Thanks for the heads up.
Man! All this stuff to learn.

Since they are not pure sine wave inverters, if you upgrade anything with a motor, and I am thinking refrigerator as a good example you may have issues. Older devices were not as sensitive, but newer devices with motors and motor controllers might fail over time.
