Nice pics guys. Thanks so much.

Thanks Bob, I’m not quite at the point where I want to try this myself…hope to get there soon but this is part of getting the coach zero’d out and it is in my budget to have it done. Much to learn!!

Thanks for the info! When I did my house, I worked with a very small company who does true “radial cut” quartersawn flooring (my house is QS White Oak). My coach is solid Walnut, so I am thinking about quater sawn walnut, which is very unusual and cool looking.
I know the Go-Pedal lifts right off (I recently replaced the sensor) but am wondering how hard it is to work around the brake pedal?
Thanks

The MC version of the Xantrex Inverters cannot “sell back” to the incoming line. That feature has been disabled. But, the generator “buddy plug” concept is very common and like others mentioned, with the correct and legal installation of either a sub-panel or transfer switch, it can make the convenient situation where your coach’s generator is your house backup. Just bear in mind what load you are supplying in the house, and make sure the combination of loads in coach and house do not overload your generator.

Oh, that “Rally” information. Thanks Jon

We have an older coach, 94 XL (40 ft), no slides, cross queen bed. No walk in closet but plenty of walk up to closets.
You are welcome to have look.

Tom, If Prevost is still selling the SKF Scotseal ask for the Scotseal Plus instead of the Scotseal Classic…..failure rate on the Plus is near zero.

Chuck, The picture is now a little clearer.
You can confirm this, but let’s you and I start by using the same terminology so I know we are connecting.
The three switches labeled front, LH and RH only should only function when the “master” switch is in the “manual” position. We’ll call them “position” switches. You will know when it is in the manual position because the level low indicator will be lit and all of those position switches will make the coach go up or down. It does not matter for purposes of this discussion that I understand what each position of those switches does what, but it is important for you to understand which position makes the coach go up, down, or do nothing (the “off”) position.
When the master switch is on the “automatic” position if the coach is not level, it will level itself. You can prove this by putting the master switch in the manual position and raising one side and lowering the other, then go to the automatic position and wait for the coach to level itself. The level low light should be on and none of the three position switches will function when the coach leveling system master switch is in automatic position.
Finally, when the master switch is in the road or driving position the level low light should go out, the bus should go to the driving height and none of the three position switches should function.
You can verify all of this.
Now to solve your problem. Put the coach master switch in the driving position. I don’t care what position the “position” switches are in because if my description above is correct they are not going to function. With the bus in the driving position or height let it sit. If you can periodically check it just keep track of movement. A tape measure used at four points at intervals will help. What I want to know is if the coach gradually leans or if it stays where it is for a while and then leans somewhat suddenly. If you have a gauge record the auxiliary system pressure. If you don’t have a gauge you might be able to read it at the Schrader valve in the steer compartment.
You either have a leak specific to the LH rear or your aux system is bleeding pressure overnight and once it drops below 35 PSI or thereabouts the tag axle air bags dump air. Once we know what is happening we will also know where to look and how to correct the problem.
From now on, when you leave the coach, even if you have leveled it, return the master switch to the driving position and immediately turn off the key.

We are Verizon customers have both phones and our mifi with them for Internet. I’m a software consultant so I’m online all the time. We have not been without access. Now, we also don’t attempt access in remote areas such as national parks as we do to want access then, it’s vacatin!
One friend has a sprint phone and also a Verizon phone to make sure he has coverage. Not sure I would go that far. Any Starbucks will have Internet access if you can’t get it from your mifi.
And yes, retire now and fulltime!

Well, at the risk of offendeing Newell owners, if you could order it with 1000 HP and 3000 lbs of torque it might be better, the term lead sled comes to mind! While the are finished off fairly nice inside, that long trek from the side entry door to the drivers seat after topping off at a truck stop, well, it can get messy on that high/low cut pile, floral inlaid wool carpeting that they love so much. As Jon suggested look at an older one, the late 80’s early 90’s Newell’s would make a freight train turn up a dirt road, they are just ugly. Not to offend folks, but every Newell that I have been in smells like old people and dogs! Foretravel, nice fiberglass coach but have a look at their older models; I especially enjoy that one with the little windshields that all in the world looks like a 1950ish locomotive, a diesel-electric streamliner wannabe. Aside from that, foretravel is very proud of their coaches, your Dynasty would rival one of those plus you already own it. Cummins “wait to start” builds a good engine but I certainly would never use their service centers as a deciding factor on a coach purchase. Just an opinion…….

Wonder how big of gas cylinders and what kind of range that truck has?

We have towed since the first day we bought our coach. I couldn’t imagine not have my dingy with me.
We rented three coaches before we actually bought our current coach. Not all rental company’s are located in every city. In Guernville, CA, there were no car rental company’s in the small town. Since we rented a Class-C, we just unhooked and took the coach to tour the wine country. In other locations, waiting for the car rental company to deliver and then waiting for them to bring you back is a big fat headache.
I just recently rented from Enterprise in Los Angeles. They could not pick me up as they were short staffed. Luckily, I was only 3 blocks from them staying at a hotel and walked over and rented a SUV.
When we were in Sedona, AZ, all name brand rental company’s would not rent you a car unless you flew into the airport. So, the only car rental available was a ‘second-hand’ car company. I rented a late model Mercedes ML320 that worked out just fine.
As we found out, it is not always convienent to use a car rental company. If by chance you have a break-down on the road, your tow car is your life raft.
Travel safe,
MM.

I’m no OTR expert and I didn’t sleep at a Holiday Inn last night, but I do know that on my coach the bottom of the 2 red balls is in the center of the glass when the OTR is properly charged and operating at fast idle with hot ambient temps. I add R-134a to mine each spring as I have a slow leak somewhere. Can’t address your other questions and I would take a look at the compressor oil level through the sight glass just because.
