Andy you have false expectations. Even the use of the parachute rip cord on a Cirrus has limitations and procedures and if a pilot lacks the basic skills to fly the plane, as a passenger you need to pray he at least learned the procedures and limitations for chute use.
Why is it non-pilots always judge pilot skills by how well the guy lands. Smooth landing does not equal good pilots. It is one of the many factors, but I will take my lumps from John Carroll if i am wrong, but in 10 minutes I can judge a pilot’s skills and he doesn’t need to land a plane for me to know if I ever want my family in the plane.

I “retired” when I sold my plane. But I had transported 534 animals by that time. My partner Debi Boies is still holding down the fort doing a fantastic job. Quite a while back her husband Bob told me PnP had over 5000 volunteer pilots.
When the number reaches 10,000 pilots Debi promised me she would eat a raw oyster.

Oh ya…..Mr Truk had a field day with this one.
IMHO it seemed like a perfect idea injecting smoke into the AUX air system. It did’nt work and the smell , yikes.

O was at Prevost Winter Garden a few weeks ago and they had this new XL3 in the shop. Not sure what they were doing, but interesting to see the framing under the skin.

Just to clarify the dealer was referring to dlam repair specifically not overall cost of parts. His comment was Prevost charges $30 -$50 k when you can pull back the panel and add glue and done. I know this isn’t the right way to fix the issue. This was the third dealer that doesn’t want to go the way of inspection. FRUSTRATING!

As Jon says “all are affected”.
As this small malfunction happens always at the worst possible time. Most of the Prevost owners know of someone who got caught when the small parts inside the drivers door break or fall apart.
On all three Prevost I’ve owned this drivers door mechanism has been service as part of regular maintenance.

I’m still not clear, if you have wires and a fuse it would be the electric toilet. The air toilet will have air lines and an actuator.
-
Doing more preventative maintenance, where does one attach a cable to open entry door on a riveted XL if latch breaks and you cant open door from outside
-
Either electric or air, the toilet has to come out to repair. You didn’t tell us whether air or electric, that would help. Based on Bernie’s comment it may be air, are you getting the air whoosh when you move the flush lever? Take the top off and see if you can identify what’s going on.

It is great to hear a good outcome.
The message here is to keep incompetent people from working on a coach. Except for the weight of a 50DN there is nothing difficult about replacing one.

I just finished testing my rebuilt voltage converter, and figured I’d post pictures here rather than a new thread. The electrical diagram may be of use to you if your coach didn’t come with something like this. I replicated my existing wiring, but switched to Bosch relays and added one for the Back Up Lights. In the lower right of the diagram, you can see the numbers of the rear junction posts that send 24v to the relays. I don’t know if they changed over the years.
edit: I deleted my electrical diagram because I noticed a significant error. I’ll list my rear junction posts below.
Tail: 1
Right Turn: 31
Back Up: 43
Left Turn: 44
Stop: 57

As a 30 year Liberty owner it is obvious Liberty is my preferred converter.
A better question to ask is which conversion might be best for how you intend to use your coach because while every conversion tends to do almost everything we want them to do, some are slightly better for dry camping, some are less complex but no less robust for someone who wants to use but work on his own coach, and some might have the edge if the coach is used as a second home at a resort, or some might be more advantageous if a lot of travel is involved.
All of this of course is modified or affected by your preferred body style, budget or target age range.

Thanks guys, thought about Bill, I’ll pass along the info.
