I am not getting a phone more capable than me.

We play the mirror game like this. In my old Yellowstone Tour Bus days on the narrow roads, the name of the game was to keep your width as narrow as possible. So, for us, the drivers mirror, like Mr Mark said about his, is a knat whisker away from the window. The passenger side mirror arm is as far ahead of the bus as we can make it , and still see down the bus side. Some cities, in particular Savannah, has steeply crowned road downtown. With this steep road crown, taller vehicles like our coaches lean ovee Leaning over or tipping the roof towards the curb can have devastating outcomes. We found Savannah has its share of signs posted on telephone poles that have been planted at curb edge. If one has their passenger side mirror arm pointing away from the bus,and with the crown of the road leaning bus over, you wiill smack that pole or the sign that is attached to it. Keep it narrow as possible.

What are you running for oil temps with your 8V92 Detroits? We are driving through the hills of Tennessee in our 1990 40′ Prevost, 1991 Liberty conversion, flat towing an Avalanche at 65mph and the water temp was 190 with oil temp of 230. After slowing to 60 mph for several miles, water temp is 185 and oil temp is 220. Don has trucks in the oil fields hauling water and he thinks 230 is a little high. What do you all think?

Jon that is a really early rock and roll song. Is there any truth to the rumor that the lyrics were written by the Lennon Sisters after a party with Jerry Lee Lewis?
The Beach Boys had the title lyrics in as one of their songs. Much better than Shake Rattle and Roll.

Even though the car is so small compared to the bus that the bus tail lights are clearly visible, those 4 18″ LED light bars are in your face when I step on the brakes or use the turn signals. The hope is to prevent someone from rear ending the car when it is towed.
They do not work when not being towed.

Riding a Harley must be like the old Jerry Lee Lewis song………”You shake my nerves and you rattle my brain”
GREAT BALLS OF FIRE!

Tom, no bad vibrations on my old, engraved housing Country Coach mirrors. Now my 1974 Harley Superglide, there were good vibrations. No amount of adjusting mirror positions helped. The vibrations were motor case mounted directly to frame without insulating rubber mounts. The mirrors vibrated so much a lower speeds the only thing you could tell was that “something” was approaching. Identifying the vehicle was an impossibility between 10 – 65 MPH. Beyond 65 MPH the mirrors became absolutely stable. So most of my interstate hours when double nickles was the norm were spent above 65. One more thing, the exhaust note on that old 1200 (74 cubic inches) into a single banana pipe was also something to listen to, in fact it was the only thing you could listen too at speed!

Hey Jon,
Love the 44 triple D cyclops lights on the rear deck. The only idiot you need to concern yourself with now is the proverbial “blind driver.”
Great job, good looks, and sweet ride.

My mileage coming down the driveway approaches infinity since an engine is not required.
I don’t remember when I figured this out, but quite a while back I learned that as long as the front wheels were out of the garage and on the driveway I did not need to push the “D” button to start down the driveway. So now when I go through the various leveling gyrations to clear the door opening, and keep the belly from dragging in the center I only use “D” to put the front wheels outside the doorway. From that point until I reach the bottom I am just rolling in neutral. I could turn the engine off.
But then there is that pesky issue about needing air for brakes.

If you allow those west of the Mississippi I would be interested.

Just rebuilt one of ours to use as a spare. Tecumseh compressor(7200)and any competent AC shop can do it.

Talked to my mother back in Maine this morning. She said they have gotten 60 inches of snow in the last week.
At 530 this morning in the Keys it was 75 degrees! NO I don’t miss the snow at all. Rick

Yep, I was a little surprised at the response, I guess I just expected a response like, in the future, Prevost would be exempt from the age deal. So in a couple years, I would have to send photo’s of my 02. That won’t be happening.

This might give some ideas to folks who would like additional sleeping space because you are able to retain all the features while providing space for the whole family to sleep.

Well, that’s two (2) NAPA jobbers that choose for what ever reason not to sign up for the AITA program. Thousands of dollars are spent on promotion to get customers into NAPA stores designing added incentives. Unfortunately these smaller jobbers don’t do enough sales to qualify for the program or just choose to buck the system.
I would sit in sales meetings and hear 10 reasons why some programs and incentives were wrong. Then you understand why some jobbers would never have increases in sales. Many just hang on and then wonder why their store will not sell in the market when they plan to retire. Many simply just close down.
PC and NAPA bear all the cost for this program, Including postage. There are no hidden charges for anything and the response has been great with the extended added length of the cards, so cards are now good to 2019.
PC members might remember the card was good for a year when the program was launched 3 years ago. That has all changed as many PC members now have the card. We have hundreds of cards sent out and with the number on the back of the card give us continued support by NAPA. All info is included on the back of the card. The counterman just follows the instructions on the back of card.
Example …of the major savings I’ve learned buying starting batteries. You can save over $150 on 4 -31 series batteries using the NAPA card.
All we ask is insert “Prevost Community” in the company name when signing up for your card.
We appreciate your support in using your card (or trying) at your local NAPA store.
