Sort of the same problem.
Found the mini generator air bags had accumulated water . This goes back to the continuos running due to air leaks.
Those little bags had captured a good deal of water over a period of time.
FWIW….don’t forget about your aux compressor check valve. Our air setting is 25 psi

The Silverleaf that I have shows fuel temperature and I really don’t know where the sensor is located but I have seen 145 degrees a couple of times.

As you noticed something was differant.. Good ! My point don’t let it become major just for the pleasure of taking it back to Prevost. They are indivuals also..A great company!!! All cannot be Bill J. A truck shop should be able to back your brakes off a little as well as service seals bearings etc. The bus market is probably less than 2% of Meritor business in the big picture. Just take care of yourself and be careful. Best wishes;;; Bob

On other board I don’t think you mentioned using IR gun so my response was to heat there. 2nd time with prevost doing work?? I would question quality and what if you lock up and destroy something while in transit to their shop? 100 miles—–Got 5$$$ Grand for new Diff housing?? As Paul Harvey said;;;; Now rest of Story:: Just my DA opinion. Bob

I have a 2011 CRV and had several episodes of battery death on long hauls. My tow bar installer told me that I had an extra 12 VDC wire coming out of my coach, so he connected it to the car battery; supposedly to charge the the car battery while towing. It didn’t work, as my battery died regularly, after long drives. I started removing the fuse, per owner’s manual, which worked to keep the battery alive. I also disconnect the power cable between the coach and car each night and ran the car to ensure a battery charge. All of this was somewhat of a pain. I complained to the tow bar installer, who discovered that the diode between the car battery and the coaches 12 VDC was bad. Since replacing the diode the toad battery has been fine. I no longer remove fuses: I just ensure that the radio is off, the Nav screen is off and the A/C is off. I still disconnect the power cable while I dry camp for the night and reconnect in the AM.

Those joey beds or sliding trays in the bay beneath the slide rooms don’t do a damn thing for you. How do you get your head down there to release the latch and slide them out without crawling under the slide?
I’ve gotten real good crawling around under the slides to get at stuff and I’m just glad it only affects the bays on one side of the coach.

Di and I have a deal. I get to buy a Harley anytime I want and she gets to dye her hair.
I don’t have a Harley and probably never will. And I don’t have to come home to someone who looks like Lucy.

Liam, you might want to also check shop4seats.com while in the LA area. Their factory is in Orange County as is Villa. I have a Villa sofa that was original to my bus and it is great, but when I added another sofa and dinette seating this year I got them from shop4seats primarily because they had better color and fabric combinations, more styles to choose from which I like better, and I could match the sofa to the dinette. (Villa may offer all of this, but its website is not good about this.) The price was very good and the quality is great. Of course they have only been in for a couple of months, but they are well made and I think will hold up well. We got a jackknife sofa so I don’t know how their pull out sleeper models compare. You are smart to go in person if you are planning to get fabric rather than leather our ultraleather, so you can really see what you are getting. When I had my ’90 CC XL40 we had opposing fabric covered sofas, and I think fabric was the best choice to complement the gorgeous black walnut panelling and cabinents in the bus, but we had a mainly solid color.

A trailer is treated differently than a car.
When the car is on it, it takes up no more room than a car, for example. Take the car off and you are taking twice the room as a car alone and you have the worry/difficulty of moving the trailer around when disconnected from the coach. Some campgrounds do not allow trailers or require them to park in a special lot.
If you leave it connected to the coach you are limited to “parks” with long pull through spots.
Many canp grounds necessitate disconnecting the toad at the checkin point and driving to the campsite. What would you do?
Some campsites require parking in T,bone fashion in front of the coach.
Your committed now. Good luck.
Soon you will be able to tell all how it worked out.
