Yeah the panel above the bay is right between both slides and I can push on it and it’ll move almost an inch so obviously unglued. Before I had my batteries pointed so the buttons and wiring faced the ceiling in the bay, then a month or 2 ago a couple drops of water followed the ethernet cable for BMS to Victron and made it’s way into both batteries BMS frying them. Luckily they were SOK batteries and they just sent me the BMSs for like $400 and was a quick repair. I mounted them horizontal just incase. It rained a ton over past 2 days and soaked 3 towels I put above the batteries to catch the leak.
When I bought the coach a year ago there was some water damage by the passenger seat so I knew there was some issue with a leak. Never found it but must be a panel on that side too. Also on the drivers door area I was running a wire through a hole on the subfloor and it was wet. keep a dehumidifier in the coach and it’s on a lot.
So looks like a 30k+ repair for the paneling. I’m already planning on putting hardwood throughout the coach so will pick a strong water resistant like bamboo and it’ll help protect the subfloor.
I might try some caulk between the panels on those metal bars just to see if I can prevent the leak until I can get it into the shop

I’m really surprised it was not Isri to start. I just assumed also Prevost conversions would have them.

Sorry for the delay guys….we did use a 24 volt charger to get everything back in working order!
I recently set the inverters to CHG upon return to storage with a note saying do not change settings please!

The M915’s have 60 Series in them.
There were/are a lot of M917/M1120 HEMTT’s, PLS’s, M113’s, etc with 2-strokes in them. Not sure how many are still in service, they went to a Cat motor for the A4 model HEMTT/PLS.

To be honest I have never really monitored the temp gauge as I travel with my wife and two young daughters there is always something going on (I know better). But since I was in winter conditions and I encountered such surprises I decided on the way down to monitor everything and noticed the gauge bouncing around. But thanks for the response Jon always great advice. Would it be if it any to keep temp at the 190-200 mark all the time? Maybe change thermostat or program fan to engage at different temps?

Art,
Two points. First, I used 1/4 or 3/8 quarter turn ball valves. The smaller ones on the two Prevost air manifolds, and the large ones on a manifold I bought to replace the one installed by Liberty. I do not think the brand is important.
As to leaks, a leak free coach in warm temps can tend to leak badly as temps drop, and after exhausting many tens of hours making 2 coaches leak free I realized as temps dropped I was back chasing leaks, a practice I no longer employ. Life is too short to try to make the hundreds of potential leaks go away.

When you turn the key to the “on” position, what does the volt meter for the chassis batteries say? It might be labeled “engine”.
Have you checked the voltages at the batteries with a volt meter?
Does your coach have a hard wired 24 volt battery charger that Liberty would have installed on the roof of the curb side engine bay?
I think you have an 8V92 engine. Please confirm.

I’ve been towing a Ram 1500 Limited for about a year and am very pleased. Follow the procedure in the manual and easy to set-up. However, (as I learned the first time I towed it), if you get things out of order the electronic parking brake may engage.
