Fantastic……All us long time owners are very familiar with the generosity of Prevost owners and the contributions made over the years to various community needs where we have had rallies.
Good job folks.

Great fellowship!

Andy, it looks compact. I carry a 150psi pancake compressor in the coach. I just plug it into a 120v outlet on the coach. Simple and inexpensive

My passenger side perminint window has water between the panes, you can see through it with no problem but its there. I called Prevost and can get a new one for a little over $300.00 but when I found out the same thing can happen, I thought that may not be a good idea.I’ve talked with a few folks who had success by cutting a 3/4″ wide by 1/2″ deep cut on the bottom of the window and used a hand vac to suck out the moisture. And another who just took off the inside pane.
Not sure what I’m going to do but whatever it is I want it a perminant one.

Tom, too bad you’re not here, until Larry showed up we were a no-slide rally. Matter of fact, we all had to have a quorum when he showed on whether he could open his slides.(-:

Replacing the double pane side glass on XL models is a simple process.
It is not without some consideration however. Prevost will sell the glass panels, but over time they will fog in the middle despite the rather impressive cost. It is because of that owners have explored and come up with a variety of options. The windows can be purchased from Prevost. The windows can be repaired by local glass companies if the interior condensation has not yet etched the glass. The windows can be duplicated by a local glass company. Lastly in lieu of the double pane assembly a single pane auto safety glass can be used, also made by a local glass company.
Removal and replacement is relatively simple and entails cutting the existing seal with a utility knife to remove the glass, scraping the old sealant out, and using the Sikaflex material called for by Prevost the new glass can be installed and sealed.
I have never heard of an XL that has not had the failed windows. Maybe there is one out there.

Check fuse #82.
That fuse will pop if the switch is not returned to the middle position immediately after the cord has reached full extention or full retraction.

Pres,
Sorry to hear about the ordeal. I was wondering why your coach had butcher paper on the window. I just thought the guy next to you in the barn needed to take a nap.

Jon this one has access from a rear ladder.

I heard of one owner that had to have it repaired because the sag in the roof was preventing the seal from working. If he is on here he might respond. At the age of your coach that is a non-issue. Just get Prevost to fix it. You might need to get Millennium to strip the slide and possibly advocate for you with Prevost because that should not happen. (i am assuming it is a Prevost slide of course.)

I agree with what you have done and would only suggest you consider one thing.
With the 1″ longer belt the fan travel is at the extreme of the travel and it is against the stop. But you said in that position the blades hit the shroud. I would add something about 1/8″ thick to the stop so if the belts fail (a remote chance) there will remain a clearance. If you use something with a self adhesive such as a rubber pad or the flat wheel weights if you need to service something and need max travel you can always pry it off.
That entire issue could be that everything was assembled at the extreme and the build up of tolerances shifted everything to cause the problem and your solution is more practical than looseining eveny single component and shifting each one to the other direction. All the mounting holes have some clearance in them and I’ll bet there are a lot of parts that could shift just a little to create the problem.

My Jake does not change gears and does not show any other gear on the shift pad other than what was manually selected, such as 6th.

How are you? See spot run. This guy is so slow with info. Makes me wonder. Says he has 3 MHs and this one he does nt know if he has a micro wave or a microwave/convection oven. So, when looking for a Prevost are people selling always so slow with answers to questions? I told him I was wanted to buy before the summer comes to a close. It seems to me that if I owned a bus and had it for sale I would know what I had and what was in it. In reading some articles, if people do’nt know the answers to questions there is something wrong. Is this true. Am I being overly sceptical? What I read is that I should be overly sceptical about everything.

We’re now back in the states after 10,000 miles on this trip. Just a quick note to say our 13’1″ height has not been a problem at all. We are back in Oregon now, but Alaska, British Columbia, the Yukon, etc has not had anything even close enough to worry about….I think we went under one somewhere that probably had 6-8″ to spare…that’s the closest we’ve come. How much credit my Rand McNally deserves with this, I’m not sure, but we’ve sure had no problem….and don’t want any, either!!!
I think turns…fueling situations…campground dangers and other slow speed maneuvers that constitute the real risk.

I LOVE it!! It was always the most aggravating process. It makes fueling up a piece of cake!! Thanks for making it available!!!
Happy Day!!!!
