Often the best deal on a coach is the one you walk away from. I am not suggesting you walk away from this coach if it is one you like and want, but before buying it at least get it checked out.

Jeff is probably the best one to do a pre-buy inspection on this coach because he is familar with the converter and the Prevost chassis.

Call the Redding DD Service 800-564-2232 in Redding CA

and the North Valley Diesel in Yuba City, CA. They told me they had 5 buildings of DD parts new and used and work on a lot of 8V92’s 530-671-1730.

Pacific Power has another shop in Medford Or and might have a tech that know something about 2 strokes.

It is getting harder and harder to find anyone who knows how to work on a 2 stroke. The straight 40 wt oil is almost impossible to find on the road.

The BusConversion forum would be a good place to ask these questions.

He did say the power had been off at his house but did not know if it had been off in the park, I had the power loss protection on so it should not have made any difference i guess. He did say after he cut the webasto off the clicking or snapping noise stopped but he could hear something running still, Inverters? should be OK till I get back tommorow no cold temps in forcast. But if someone has a number to mobile webasto in Raleigh I would appreciate it. When I started the webasto when I got to Raleigh I noticed some white smoke when it started, and when it cycled a lot of smoke but cleared up and ran fine till I left. Gary

Joel,

Without digging my drawing out, I have two 3 ports, not 5 ports for the front, maybe they changed for the XLII. I’m guessing 2 are needed since there are two functions, the level valve and the manual up/down with level low.

There is a good article on the Newell Gurus electrical forum about a Lithium battery install in a Newell coach.

Truk that sattellite dish was so fast it had to have an air cooled stand off. I believe they were so hot you were only able to get custom installation. I think I remember the distributor on that product and it was next to the Tillamook Cheese factory in Oregon.

5 years, it is hard to believe that you have had your coach that long now.

I really feel sorry for you guys. It was -13 at 1:30 PM here today. Last couple of nights it was -25 to -27 with a stiff wind. Wind chill values were about -55. Almost cold enough to pop RIVETS off. (had to stay on topic)

42 above would feel like summer. Come to think of it..that is a typical summer day with the wind howling off Lake Superior. Never mind.

This site definitely played a large roll in our shopping and purchase of our first Prevost. Thanks to Jon and Tom and to all who continue to guide and answer my questions.

Jon,

How wide is your pit and did you build in ventilation or drains into it?

The OTR coolant screen can be cleaned and used. It’s a metal mesh filter.
