Joel,

My (4) 315’s in June using our Michelin program were 2753.89 or 688.47 each including FET and tax. They took a price hike the first of May. This did not include mounting, that was a seperate charge.

[Glenn]

Dick, you need a single 2611A. Just make sure you hook up the leads as in the 24volt diagram. I mounted mine on the sloped bulk head wall. Leads were just long enough.

[Glenn]

Thanks Tom, I will follow up with them and get it changed out, really appreciate the help!!

Thanks Peter,

The Vantare were easy to change too… haven’t messed with the Hearts in our Liberty but haven’t needed to either so far all has worked well even though I have heard otherwise about the Heart Inverters.

Not ready to go down that road yet I guess.

Cheers, Diane

This is bizarre, just realized today that I have a sure power equalizer, but it is the the engine bay for the chassis! I guess I never looked closely at it as I had the Vanner monitor and heard prevost only used Vanner. I know I have a Vanner up in the battery bay as we looked at it and discussed the recall when I was at Parliament getting new Lifelines this summer.

Guess the phone call from marathon asking about my address today may have something to do with the recall.

I am not going to be anywhere near any Marathon places anytime soon, will they just send me a good one to swap out?

[Glenn]

Al, not sure what it is like on the H, but on my XL2 I just changed the 1156 bulb to cheap LED ones from eBay today. Bit brighter and will draw less power if I am parked somewhere overnight with parking lights on.

Not as nice as a full change out with an LED fixture but cheap and does the trick, and cant really see much of my lights with trailer always hooked up anyways!

[Glenn]

Yes, Al we did on our Vantare, I think I showed you some pics… they came from IBP, as far as I know they are the only ones that come with a bezel so they fit the cutouts… they also come with the wires to plug in.

Unable to upload pics since I changed the compatibility mode…. will email you one.

Goerge & Becky,

We do need to get Tom down to Texas… it would be fun for him then he could come visit us after he installs your battery for you !!

Cheers, Diane

I’ve had both and echo what Threegreens said about service. Even at Detroit shops, most of the techs have little to no experience with the 8-v. That said, the 8v-92 I had in my 90 Prevost was pretty much bulletproof and did not leak or burn oil. The issues I had were with cooling. The series 60/ 6 speed Allison in my much heavier current bus accelerates much faster, uses significantly less fuel, and has no visible exhaust compared to the 8v with 5 speed trans. The fuel savings may not justify the additional up-front expense, but it is dramatic. I never got better than 5 MPG with the 8-v and I get nearly 7 with the S-60.

[Glenn]

On another website that I read, it was mentioned that the Detriot Diesel was discontinued for OTR service. Is that true?

I know that CAT got out of the business for Trucks and RV’s but I had not heard about DD.

Thanks,

MM.

Great, I’m a big fan of Battery Tenders and have used them for years. My gen requires 590 min cold crank amps per the manual. It’s a 17.5 Powertech ( 4 cylinder Kubota). I didn’t take the physical measurements but can do.

We spend our summers in California.

Some of our favorites are:

Marin RV Park – Greenbrae, CA – We found Napa is nice, but it is
hot there in the summer. From the Marin Park you can easily walk to the
ferry for trips to San Francisco. The sites are tight so we get two
sites. It is very close to great restaurants, shopping, etc.
We can be in Napa in 45 minutes. Park is cean and safe. Location is superb.

Carmel: We like Carmel By
the River RV Park. Great small park with
3 nice premium sites. Fog is a problem
at Monterey/Carmel. You need to be 5-6
miles east of the coast to be in the sun.
This is the location of this park.
I cannot imagine anyone not lioking this park. Previous poster mentioned Saddle back
Mountain park. I would pass on
Saddleback. The road in requires
navigating at least a 15% grade in and out.
I would not have the nerve for it.

Santa Barbara: We like
Ocean Mesa RV Resort. It is located on
the 101 overlooking the ocean about 10 miles north of Santa Barbara. Well maintained park in great location

Hope this helps.

Dave

Thank you all so much for the good wishes.

Jerry the new owner called Larry last night just to thank him they arrived home to Orange CA and tell him how happy he is with the bus !!

Mr Mark, I too hope you don’t have to join the TBC, we have belonged to it numerous times and once for over a year (2005 Navigator)… hopefully we won’t do that again.

Just price it to sell and go on down the road !!

I know you are so excited about getting in the Liberty finally… such a long wait but well worth it… I hope it’s everything you want it to be.

Looking forward to seeing pics !!

Safe and happy travels.

Cheers, Diane

my experience is that they may all be different based upon the converter. List the converter and perhaps someone with the same converter and vintage will weigh in.

I emailed Prevost with address provided, and have heard nothing. I sent the email right after address info was provided here
