We own one of those Plastic Coaches – 2005 Monaco Executive that had the Protective Film on the front also. The product is called Diamond Shield. It is good for about six years and then it starts to Crack and start to look like crap.
There is no easy way to remove it. There is a company here in Florida called Dazzling Details and they will remove and reinstall the Film for $15000. It usually will take them one day if they do not have to repair any paint damage and two days if they have to repair some paint. Dazzling Details will come to you to do the work in Florida.
I had the film replaced by them about a year ago. They did and excellent job and it did take them about a day and a half as they had to touch up a couple of areas where the paint was damaged.
Dazzling Details replaces the Diamond Shield with 3M. The Diamond Shield is onlt 3 Mills thick and the New 3M shield is 8 Mills thick.
They have been diong the work for Liberty and Parliament Coach in Florida for several years.

This is what I use to raise or lower the tow bar.

Nope, lotta Detroits out there, may only be able to get one in a Freightliner now though I think.
The Series 60 is no longer produced I think, but DD15 DD16 are pretty well regarded engines and lots of new Freightliners I see have them.
Mostly Cummins, Detroit and Volvo now, as well as some Paccar engines too in Class 8 stuff. (not sure if Navistar has given up yet, they got thier ass kicked)

We looked at a Montana LLC when we bought out coach and then I asked around in Texas to folks who have them and also folks who paid the sales tax. In Texas, the penalty for this is twice the tax plus the tax. I ran the numbers and the risk was not worth it so we bit the bullet and paid Texas our sales tax. My thought is, I live in Texas and will pay my share… even if it does hurt! alot!

You can add aux comp just for the gen air bags and that way no water in anything but gen air lines and bags and add Norgren filter for it, that’s the way my Royale was just for gen air bags nothing else

just Map Quested the trip to Jeff’s place and it is 12.5 hours from here but I have to drive straight thru Nashville.
I haven’t spent much time in Nashville. I really appreciate the input here. I keep reading about Jeff’s work on PC. Wish it was closer but suppose it will be worth the trip.
I will reach out to him soon to schedule a trip out there later this winter.
Thanks again.

“I am taking the coach down to the DFW Prevost Service Center for the air system work and I am going to replace the entire system due to its age–all bags and related items to get it updated. Just a PITA to get it down there but worth it in the long run. Thanks for the input.”
I am taking nothing away from the quality of work you will receive at Prevost DFW. I have had work completed there, Houston, many visits to Nashville Prevost and I am going to Prevost Mira Loma later this week. I have always been satisfied with their work and their care for my coach. When things were not right they made it right every time. I value my relationship with the poeple at Prevost and I intend to maintain that.
However if you want to save a pocket full of money and still get personal attention to your coach it would be worth the drive to Jeff’s in Tennessee. Yes, even with the extra fuel. If it is difficult for you to find time to get to Dallas then I am sure it will be much harder to get to Vonore but if you could plan a stop as part of a trip I think you will be glad you did.
I just had air bags, brake chambers and all norgren valves replaced at Jeff’s in June. I was completely pleased with Jeff, his shop and his work. Plus I always learn a lot when he works on my bus. One thing I learned this time is that replacing all that stuff does not solve all my air problems. That is going to require a place to work on it myself and lots of patience. I have neither of those at the moment.

I hope you are not putting R12 in CruiseAirs.
They take R22.

That will leave a mark!

I met a convoy of Prevosts with toads on I-20 near Monroe, Louisiana around 2:30 on Monday. They were pointed east. Was that any of the no-rally crowd fleeing OKC?

I upgraded the Heart inverters on my later model Liberty due to lack of flexibility. I am told it is important that the charging profile of the inverter matches the battery type. Consult your inverter manual to be sure you have a way to accomplish this.

so sounds like Beaumont is out of the picture 🙂
Thanks, will check out other options in South/East TX mentioned.
