I’ve used https://www.rvtripwizard.com for several years. Has plenty of options, so it takes a little effort to learn to utilize it effectively. $400 per year subscription I think.

One last question, how often should the hub oil be changed out? The coach has almost 134,000 miles on it and I’m not sure that the bearing oil has ever been changed on that wheel.

OTR takes up the equivalent of 1/2 bay only.
In the OTR bay position the passenger side is the condenser and condenser fans. That bay area is relatively shallow.
On the opposite side is the evaporator and evaporator fan. It also makes use of a shallow depth. In between the two 1/4 bay sized areas is the coach fuel tank.
OTR does not require two bays.

The tires were all Michelin XZA2s. They were 2012 vintage, and we bought the coach in December 2015. I run 120 psi steer, 100psi on drive and tag. By weight I could have gone 90 psi on the drive and tag, but I simply did not like the way the tires looked at 90psi.
No TPMS, I check the tires before any outing, but I may reconsider a TPMS!
All new shoes on the coach this morning. Prevost have XZA2s still, and I’m OK with those. Probably will make the next tire change at 6 years, though. I had them put the Goodyear 670 on the tag. Least critical, and I have heard people have had good service with Goodyears.

My engine is bone dry except for just above the oil pan at the bell housing.

It’s pretty straight forward for our 03/04 vintage, but I believe there is more involved with a multiplex coach. Jon?

Are they by day week month or season or like tip on work done

From our experience, they all use the same model. Some are more adept to marketing. I must be mistaken, but isn’t a bus an asset they can seize ? We learned during the last bus purchase, the bank model is the only model. So, we paid cash for it, and will do the same for our next coach with slides. The point being, having cash laying around at 000001% interest is a benefit to me. Silly me

John now has lifetime free dues, but ditto on Tradewinds, they worked hard for this Seminar.
A special shout out for Cindy at Tradewinds, she worked non stop including her day off to make sure all the feeding and details were a success.

Purchased 8 315’s mid march michelin advantage/dupree products- $899.98 ea. out the door. breakdown tire & taxes $834.15 ea. dealer dismount,mount, balance, new stems $65.83 ea.
This is $1000 ea. less than I paid 5 years ago without michelin advantage plan, so it is a plus to hang around here.
Cheers

We were specifically looking for a non-slide Prevost. With just the two of us, we saw no need for the extra space, and we are very comfortable in ours.
If you really want slides, I would recommend a coach that has slides installed by Prevost. We talk a lot about crashworthiness of Prevosts; by the time you cut a big hole in the side of the shell, you compromise the structural aspects. Early Prevosts that came slide-equipped from the factory had trusses added in the basement under the slide to make up for the lack of structural rigidity. You typically won’t find this in aftermarket slides. While these trusses were needed in early models, they also made underfloor access more difficult–I have seen coaches with batteries mounted behind the truss–good luck changing those!
