so i was thinking I wanted to do the pressure protection valve check more often than I am under the coach. Still being a working man I don’t use the coach enough. Right now I’m a 3,000 mile a year at most kind of guy.
Adding the chain would let me do it with out heading up the ramps before each trip which is quarterly at best.
Was hoping you guys already ahead of me had figured out the best route for the chain. But I can always pass.

You are starting to scare me now Jon ! i knew Andre was weird but I didnt know he liked armadillos. As far as Bob goes, I think you may be right cause he isnt answering his phone.
Tell me the truth Jon are you secretly hiding out at the great outdoors? -
Yes it was cool !!
-
Also yes. The radio stay wired to the House 12V system.

Thanks, guys. After looking at that one that Tom linked to I’ll bet I could make it.

Not sure if this is relevant due to age difference, but my 1990 CC XL had both Webasto and a separate pump to bring heated coolant from the engine to the dash. Without the Webasto engaged, running that pump made a huge difference in the amount of heat from the dash and windshield vents. I was told that without the pump, the coolant flow through the heater hoses was slow enough that it would cool substantially before it got to the cockpit. Pump was to speed up the flow so it was still hot when it got to the radiators. It is a looong way from the engine to the cockpit, and mine was only a 40 footer.

Have good time Dave enjoy the ride. AMF Ha Ha

Diane, just put your handy dandy hand held electric tester on the wires, set tester to DC.
Or have Larry hold onto the wires, you throw the switch ….. tickle equals 12 volt…..Larry, thrown against the garage wall equals 24 volt.

Double K, Here’s my weekend adventure about the same.
Airline ticket KC to Ontario CA. Sunday, car rental, Holiday Inn. Getting a phone call can’t meet me
till 10:30. The brother in-law will be showing me the coach. First hint of pending disaster, I knew getting on the bus in
less then 30 minutes I have been suckered . This bus has been totally mis-represented, dirty inside with left as-is
from the last party. House batteries dead. It was plugged in but not long enough to recover from sitting unplugged in
storage. I find out from the locals bus sat for 2 years. The 10:30 shown time was actually a wash job.
I was told it needed tires with my response on phone, think they would make it to KC ? Oh sure. Found cracks
on the outside
edge of drives were wide enough I could put my finger nail in it. Code; 1506. I was told batteries and tires were
09. Looking at filters where most techs write the date of service these were 2009.
A waste of time and money ? But this is what we must do before we buy.

We had the recall done in Coburg in the spring — right after they learned of the recall. In fact, ours was the second coach refitted. It only took about a half day on our H3, but the first one was an XL and that took over day.
On the XL they had to fabricate some new brackets in addition to accessibility problems, so some coaches will take longer than others. It probably is faster now since they have some experience with the refit.

Jon, records say it was done late 2012, so its pretty new, and speaking with Luis at Prevost who did the work said it was fine, but on my DMI another tech did not use a test strip as he noticed green coolant still in the reservoir…was later determined that was some residual leftover, so I mainly want to get that cleaned out and change the filter and get a bit of fresh in it.
Another question…when using SCA charged Powercool, is a Detroit *non* sca filter fine? My local Detroit parts guy kinda implied that today….
-
True dat, but I do like some fresh air too. Maybe not today in Bar Harbor, but sometime soon!

Test the 12 and 24 voltages at the Vanner monitor first. I have never had an equalizer go bad, but I have replaced monitors. They have been one of the unreliable components of our coaches.
-
Charles, thanks for the information. With a software update, my Silverleaf monitor will display Pressure Pro data. The SmarTire sending units are indeed still available, but the Silverleaf guys feel it’s more likely my problem is antenna related. I’ll continue testing both antennas and batteries. I sent you an address in an email.

Chris, not having the facility, knowledge, experience or willingness that Jon does, we have to rely on our checkbook. That being said….we have developed a cadre of people that are pretty much the best in the buisness in the eastern half of the country. They are: Parliament ( Ben Cumming and Rick May our go to guys), Jeff Rowe East Tennessee Luxury Coach, Prevo Nashville and Panterra Coach. Nobody else touches the bus. Anybody can screw up at any time, but any of these guys would make it right. The price is soon forgotten as there is no price tag on piece of mind.
