OK, I added 6 gallons to reach the top of the sight glass. How much more should I add above the sight glass?

I have not cranked it yet. My wife is away from the coach and I want her inside to keep an eye on the gauges and warning lights while it is running. I hope to crank it after lunch. Any suggestions or tips are appreciated.

It’s an easy adjustment Gil and 125 will make you happy. 135 is nuts!

Must be a CC thing, all my ISRI’s have been good.

If you are in Central Florida I would let you use my pressure tester to test and find your leak. If not try any radiator service they do have a way to test and find your leak. Have the test done on both the Aqua hot tank and the engine cooling system, by the way did you have the Aqua hot pressure cap replaced you maybe leaking from that pressure cap I think the one I had on my 97 Blue Bird was 13 PSI, the one I had failed.

Please look me up if you are near, Cell phone number is 248-935-5390

Good luck

Yep, a bit of a miscommunication……..prevost gave legacy the price to change every valve on the coach including the norgrens. Ooops, guess I wasn’t clear and Dodi in service is very relieved. So, that $14K figure was for the bags, norgrens, every other valve (whatever that is) brake lines and raidiator hoses, flush, pressure check ect…..Now I figure the bags and norgrens are south of $5K.

Jon,

I just find it disappointing that the bags and valves shouldn’t last 20 yrs. if driven regularly without question. What does the term ‘2,000,000 mile’ chassis mean? If I have to spend a fortune to keep all the parts together I might as well keep my coach that cost 25% of a Prevost.

Reading the many threads here doesn’t sound any different than RV.net. Always something going on and needing attention.

I have a collection of cars to drive and one of them being a new Bentley convertible that I bought 4 yrs. ago. I expect and have received excellent service and reliability of a car that cost $250,000. The car has been flawless in the 4 yrs. I’ve had it. I would expect the same out of a $2M Prevost but I’m not reading that.

George,

For most owners purchasing a coach was a decision made after experiencing that “eureka” moment. Over the years we bought 3 coaches and in every case we would step into the coach, and before moving towards the rear we looked around and knew the coach was one we wanted.

Conversely we did the same with many more coaches and knew right from the first look the coach was not for us.

I think before even considering an inspection you need to experience that strong sense the coach is for you. That is a very personal thing and while any of us can inspect a coach and tell you it is a nice coach or everything works we cannot tell you what works to trip your trigger. If you do not see it personally you are unaware of how it smells, if it shows the subtle signs of wear or abuse, or if the coach speaks to you.

A coach is expensive and the only reason I could justify having someone give a coach an inspection is to look at it through the buyer’s eyes to verify it is as represented. If the seller has listed it as having everything working, pristine condition, etc. a local owner can quickly breeze through the coach and assess the accuracy of how it is represented such as are the tires recent or are they aged with a lot of tire dressing. But there is no substitute for a potential buyer having that first look.

Paul,

240V appliances should not be ran through 2 inverters that can’t provide 240V. One problem is the appliance will draw mre current if the phase relationship is such that the voltage is less than 220. Your dryer, if European likely has a 220V motor. So, this is one load that may be inductive. If it wasn’t too difficult I would wire the dryer, cooktop, any other 220V appliance such they aren’t wired through the inverters.

We’re almost neighbors if you ever need another set of eyes or other help.

There is a wash job in the Liberty’s future, soon…

Glen, neither is mine, finally got all fixed and ready to go.

Gary,

We head back to Knoxville. I have stuff that has to get done before Branson plus our pups asked us to spend more time with them.

The
sites are numbered you just can’t see them. I can’t find a link on
their website for the site map, so all I have is what I posted.

There
is now only 1 handicapped spot left and that’s site
180.

We
are at 42 with the coach sale folks and that will likely change
either up or down. There are some that haven’t paid and they will be
deleted from the list on the 31st. We have to prepay the sites on the
1st of September.

Anyone
can still sign up for the Rally after the 31st, but the site
selection will then be handled by KOA based on space availability.
The site rates also go up, that’s why our Rally fee goes up after the
31st.

Tom, your plastic coach buddy has the right idea. Having split residences(Wi & Fl) going on two decades, and deciding long ago not to carry stuff back and forth, made it easy to do the same thing with the bus. The bus is always plugged in and ready to go with everything on it except perishable food and prescription meds. We usually are able to leave inside of 30 min.
