Run the Webasto circulation pumps but don’t let it fire up, you will burn out the high temp limit fuse.
3greens is Powercool a extended life coolant? I thought it wasn’t.

Megan,

“This is one of the best threads” there are as many different ways of maintaining / owning your coach as there are Prevost owners. I have been a member for over 1.5 years. The guys like Peter, Jon, and Tom are as proven the guys who take maintenance to very high level. I see at least two very evident positives to that, 1) they travel in the safest way possible and have great resale value and the fact that they can create quick sales. That being said all of the input here creates very good comparison information for current and future owners, and the input is spot on.
This thread ties out to all the other post of owners about the experiences they have on a daily basis. This forum has grown into something that is going to only enhance the Prevost market place.
From the example of Mr Mark to the many new owners recently of pre owned coaches that have gotten into this lifestyle of its own.
The fact that there is no such thing as book values for Prevost makes it a little more confusing, but if you take your time, do your research, I think you can sort it out.
When I was at the POG show in January the biggest conversation point I got from people looking was how to value each coach. That unlnown was a detractor to the brand, but I also suspect it helps the brand.
Of the guys that I talked to at the show, you could tell that David had done a lot of home work and had a lot of Blue Bird experience. Now he is the proud owner who is creating the experiences of a life time.
Just insurance alone can be an experience, when you get to owning a Prevost and then want to insure it, as this forum informs you, you want to ensure you insure with a company that knows what a Prevost is, not all companies insure are positioned to insure Prevost in all states. Therefore you might not want to jump in when your circumstances could change.

thanks John. So again, very new at all this. I am headed for Knoxville for a couple nights for my sons freshman orientation. I don’t have a meter with me and I may be the worst electrical guy ever. I just have a test light, will that do me any good? I may just leave the bus running and try to get to Knoxville. If it will not restart, may try calling Jeff.
Thanks!

Paul,
If you can, measure the voltage at the terminals at the Vanner monitor or the Vanner equalizer. Use which ever one is easiest to get at.
The 12 volt readings should be 1/2 of the 24 volt readings within 1/2 volt. I have checked voltage both with and without the coach running.
If the voltages are withing the range specified above you are getting a false alarm due to the Vanner monitor. If that is the cas pull the terminal for battery balance from the bottom and replace the monitor when you get a chance. The coach is just fine. If the readings are not within the range it is possible and likely the equalizer has failed. Its purpose is to insure the chassis batteries are all charged equally and if it has failed, loads on either the 12 or 24 volt circuits are drawing down that circuit and you do risk a shutdown or lack of sufficient voltage typically on the 12 volt side of things. You will need to get that fixed.
It could be the circuit breaker on the equalizer has tripped (at the bottom of the equalizer) but if not you might need to repair or replace it.

Not always. Sometimes I just leave the fenders down if I am just pulling a wheel. If I plan on working in that area then I definitely fold up the fenders.

Well I did that few days ago when I was working on the charging issue, and that will re-boot the techlink, but last 2 days just going under the bed and powering on/off the pc and network adapter.
Been fine for over 24 hours, so leaving it until I have more time to go in and hook up a keyboard, mouse and monitor and check the configuration.
CO bus you can email me if you like rc51parts AT gmail

Wait Tom I have not had any air problems…YET! HA! I guess this means I have been asking a lot of questions!
OP, am not well versed in the compressor or air system yet so no advice to offer but I do sympathise with you, no fun being stuck somewhere without competant help, at least you are at a campground and not side of the road.

Hey thanks for the ideas gang but so far no good. I checked the inverter setup and its set to off, i have checked every fuse I could find and still no luck and to make matters worse we went over to the casino last night and made my usual donation to the poor casino owners association LOL. Oh did I mention that we are at the hollywood casino in bay st louis and the campground here is really nice. the water here is just as hard as it is at home so Im spending part of fathers day with the vinegar and water bottle. Oh well, such is life. After taking the boss out for a nice meal i will go make another donation and pray to the casino gods. Iwill keep y’all posted on the genny progress and the donations .

tecma silence plus is the one it’s the one marathon uses that’s what I put in and never looked back they are costly but well worth it never any trouble put power wire right from house battery and 30 amp fuse in it and you will have no trouble, I put it in my 1997 Royale then took air line for toilet and hooked it up to fill gen air bags automatically it worked great

My compressor is a Bendex BA921. According to the parts manual the governor is suppose to be located where three holes are in the rusty area of the attached photo. The photo is of the cylinder head view with the camera facing the back of the coach. There is no governor there. I’m beginning to think there is no governor for this compressor anywhere. Am I correct? Does that center hole lead to the unloader piston?

Anyone that has ever called Direct TV will clearly understand the techs that answer the phone are reading instructions back to you. They have no clue. I’m not saying Allison, or Detroit or Prevost hot line folks are anywhere near as bad as the telephone answerers at Direct TV, but my guess is they are not mechanics.
