Very cool. Which area are you parked in?

Ron, We had never been before now and will say its been well worth it for us. Anything I’ve seen or heard doesn’t do it justice. It’s best to go in an RV and park near the launch field, but you have to make reservations a year in advance, starting on the day they open up the reservation site. Here are a few more pictures.

GM makes a foaming penetrating oil that works really well.
Have you tried heat? Take a torch and heat the bung so that it expands and try to get the fitting out with a good stiff line wrench (the cheap ones flex too much) or just cut the wire and use a socket. Work it back and forth and let the penetrating oil work it’s way in. I’d replace the sensor but try whatever I could to save the bung.

If I don’t stop at truck stops, where am I supposed to talk to those friendly women at? 🙂

Tom, Liberty customers can get service in N. Chicago from Mr. Bill on most things. The real big problem there is they have no way to lift a coach, but they will do most everything else. I should know, I have been there enough with the last two coaches…

Mark, our tap water has a TDS of around 70… I also think a rinse system will last a good while.

Hi guys,
Just thought I’d mention that I just heard from IBP Industries and they told me;
Tail Light Conversion Kit – Prevost XL w/Oval LED w/Wiring Harness (M3-00927) The price is $1900.00 for set of two in either Oval or Rectangular.
Hey Don, did I read your post correctly that you got an LED set of two for $875? That’s quite a price. Before doing anything I’m trying a recommendation I got from Jeff and see if I can clean them. I’m just not sure where I can get wolf-bain…
By the way Don, nice looking bus!

Another cause could be the temp sensor may be bad, dirty, mis-located? I don’t know where it is located?
The solenoid/valve in your lower pic is either a dash circuit freon valve or heater core water valve. I can’t tell from your pic. My bus has both, behind the frt bumper up high, for the dash ac and heater circuits. The size of the water lines are roughly 5/8″ or 3/4″. The size for Freon are much smaller.

No worry Alvie, mine is 1 piece and I don’t see any issues, seals in great shape. It’s all about the installer and these glass guys are good, this is my 3rd glass change out with them.

Harry. Two years ago we had a mess. Sept 16th went to a budget emissions shop, Jim Egli trucking and repair Sprinter service. Unbeknownst to us, he had a surface dyno they would back vehicles up on
Anyhow, they crushed our muffler, torn it from its attachments and moving it fore and aft which then the exhaust pipe got whacked by the exhaust pipe creating melted dog ears on all 7 blades. And…..sent us on our way clueless. Two days later, cavalierly looked under Coach to find huge dent and tear in the muffler. Looking in engine compartment by light I saw the fan. Calling JE repair, they wanted to see the bus. Upon inspection, they said we ran over something and didn’t know proper operation of a Prevost
Colorado Health dept who oversees heavy duty testing, said unfortunately it’s a he said they said. Submit it to our insurance.
But course this year Nationwide canceled us for that claim and they saw we had hail roof damage claims last year on our house, Office, and 51 rental units and canceled us upon renewal last month. I’ll send you photos by phone

Yes pulling from the rear is fine and there are also a couple of holes you can get to on a Prevost other than the hitch….pulling backwards and lifting are different as well

Good suggestion Jon for us to use tact in dealing with Michelin. Replacing mine now due to age. I`ll drive my Bus with the knowledge you`ve given and keeping in mind if any tire blows you`re always subject to serious injury or considerable dollar damage to the Bus.
On a side note, just replaced my auto tires with Michelin with much thought given to the continued poor quality they`ve become and talking with many other people about the poor longevity of tire wear. Decision was due strickley to the low road noise and handling.
Let`s hope Michelin listens to us and reacts positively !

I replaced ours with Atwood. Will never buy Atwood again.
Here is a link to our replacement. https://prevostcommunity.com/forum/threaddetails.asp?Category=Plumbing%3E&ThreadID=7727#68437
The dual control thermostat is available at Home Depot. There are posts about that too.

Tom, I’m really happy you finely broke through knowing your desire for slides… I know the pressure Nance put on you through the years has been difficult to deal! I hope she has handled this with reasonable aplomb! If not that than agrape…
Way to go Tom, it has been a real struggle for you and frankly and inspiration to us all!
Congratulations on your new bus Tom an Nancy, it’s a beauty!

PS. Jeff helped? Yah right… We will all pay for that in dues and future services!
