Dog-Gone-It-Tom, I told you that “hamster on the wheel” thing will only get you so far!

We have the stacked Bosch Ascenta units. With the dryer, I sometime have to run a cycle a little longer depending on what the item is (heavier cotton towels).
We have a vent for the dryer that we turn on a separate fan for it. If our dryer is not vented, it might be to reduce the heat in the dryer area.
Safe travels!

Harry… I think it’s about time you start writing another book.
The Adventures of Lucy could make for an interesting topic for Harry’s next book!

Ron,
If I have to leave mine I turn on the autostart and have a cheap indoor security camera running on wi-if and shows a picture of my electrical panel so I can watch all the parameters. The camera and Jetpack is plugged into one of my inverter circuits. Can all of that go to hell, yes, but it’s working well.

Mine is not adjustable. Will order one next week. Thanks

Since an alarm that sends a message to your cell phone alerts to a problem that is 1/2 of the concern.
The other half is if you are halfway around the world when a problem occurs you have to have someone that can access your coach with all your personal items in it, and that someone then has to be willing to assume the responsibility to hire someone qualified to diagnose and fix the problem.
I know a lot of Prevost owners have “their people” take care of the coach and monitor it, but it is not like a lot of technical people can drop what they are doing in their shop to run to a bus to fix it when the electric goes off or the heat quits, or the slides are leaking and rainwater is getting in creating mold.

Hey Harry, before you sign the papers have the seller perform a geological survey of the property. Florida is covered with potential sink hole sights resulting from the dissolving Limestone beneath the sand. Water percolates down through and to the Limestone and dissolves it gradually.
Remember the Corvette Museum in Kentucky? Same geology as Florida. I don’t know how difficult it was to recover the dumped Corvettes but I’m certain they weigh substantially less than a Prevost bus.

When we first got the coach, I asked for an engine history printout. Simple to do–just plug into the computer and download history. The history showed the maximum RPM experienced on the engine was 2550. I cannot imagine Detroit Diesel would allow Allison to program the transmission in a way that would allow over-revving the engine and cause damage.

I know everybody can’t have a barn close but these puppies/coaches are expensive and the first thing I did after I bought mine was build a barn on the 100 acre place to store it. Wife wanted to move closer to Granddaughter last year and had to sell the ranchito (tired of punching cows anyway) and buy another place (10 acres almost downtown Kingsland Tx.) and the first thing I did was build another insulated barn and they’re just finishing the house in front of barn. Had mine in storage for 2 months in transition and all they had was 110 volt service and it sucked. If you have a coach it’s better to keep it safe and where you can put your hands on it pronto.

Ross can you PM me or call. I spoke with Denny the second owner and he gave me great history on his ownership.

Art, those bearings can be matched at a bearing store. They have numbers on the seal or on the outer bearing rim. I just replaced a bearing on the fan gearbox idler the other day and it was matched with no problem. I would suspect that Prevost price will be higher than a bearing store. My bearing was pricy because it was a double roll bearing and the only people who had it in stock was Applied Industrial Technologies who are very proud of their products. You should be able to get it on eBay after you get the model of the bearing. Caution do not get a Chinese bearing.

Thanks Boys!
Won’t need it till next December so it’s still a little ways off, but nice to know I’ve got options.
