Dan, I hope you and the Redhead find a new coach and are able to get back on the road soon. Send pictures out to everyone when you find one. Good luck.

They are, I installed them on mine, they are very bright, when changing lanes at night, they will scare the crap out of the cars in the next lane, you can see everything!
As docking lights, they project way out, at least 100 ft or so.

Ron, our coach is a 45 foot coach, you may not have thought about but this might help in your search, it the coach you are looking at is an XL it is a 40 footer, while the XLV is a 45 footer. Hope this helps. -
Per I chased a roadside tag leak for a year, I replace 3 gaskets myself and Prevost FTW replace it 3 times, still no luck and a big mess. Prevost FTW kept trying at their expense and finally found the issue and fixed it, the issue was that the hubcaps that Marathon use’s has three studs that screw into the hub and hold the bracket that my hubcap screws to. The 3 studs were not screwing in as far as they should and were not tightening up and kept leaking. We bought some allthread and made new studs a 1/4 inch longer and reinstalled and the problem is fixed. You might take a look at this on yours. Just finished replacing the front seal on my generator and fixed a leak there.

Who the hell is this Harry guy???????
I thought this web site had standards. How did he get past the admissions committee?

Ron and Jane,
You didn’t mention the year of the coach in question but I’m thinking it may not have slides. You will have a weight savings there and actually might have more ‘pushing’ power than we do (and ours is good).
I don’t know which rear-end we have but we are brisk on start off, much better than our previous coach weighing 40,000 lbs.
MM.

Harry – Are you coming to the seminar? Did you pay and add the appropriate amount of dues owed? Is your bus still at Jeff’s I didn’t see it. I heard you bought a 5th wheel, is that true?

Whether its a big thing or little tiny details, Jon’s advice and counsel is almost always enlightening.

Love the post Andy! 🙂

Would it not be a interesting experiment to do like the railroad locamotives do use electric motors to power the drive axle of the Coach and diesel engines to power the electric motors. What a Coach that might be? Michael

in case anyone is interested in what the led marker lights look like at 17 years old…here are my originals ( date stamped 2000)
this was the worst one. I broke it apart to show the led cluster.

Agree with Harry. If you’re going to travel out west, T-Mobile is scarce. Linda

Thank you one and all for your kind thoughts… Even my wife said she thought about me once!
Jeff is right of course in that he’s holding my coach hostage until the Great Maintenance Seminar of 2017! It’s Jeff’s contention with so many Prevost owners being there I’ll pay his bill and save my actual tears for later. Little does he know I’ve started tearing up writing this post just getting reading for him!
Actually there’s no problem because I’ve been flipping burgers at the local Burger King since taking my bus into Jeff! Did you know if you make $7.50 per hour for a 6 hour days that’s, let me see, carry the 3, is $45.00? That should get me a Norgren Valve right!
I do thank you guys for your kind consideration and that’s no joke!

Thanks Per!
Believe it or not, photos of Lucy gets more likes on Facebook than my long winded videos. Go Figure?
And, you may not have known this, but Lucy was a formidable candidate in the 2016 Presidential election.
She even had a campaign bus…
And ran a clean, no poop campaign.

I agree with Mike, I think mine is rated 450 and a 5 speed. I’ve pulled my ’11 3/4 ton Dodge pickup all over the west and pass most semi’s on uphill pulls.
