I ordered a closet latch for my coach and was referred to this site: http://www.boatoutfitters.com/Hardware/Southco-Door-Grabber-Latch-C3-805.html
But I then found the exact same thing on Amazon for cheaper and ordered it via Prime.

I do performance testing, but our testing is conducted with trucks fully payloaded. I’d imagine that seated-coach crash testing is conducted at GVWR as well, so it should be pretty comparable. Do the converted coaches have higher GVWR’s than seated coaches?

I had forgotten about the guys with stacker trailers not being limited by bay space. I will have to post that on the other site.

Jon and Tom,
I’ll keep at it, but it might be an item for Jeff’s list when we are at the seminar in October.
Thanks.

John,
One thing that is indispensible is a mirror with an extendable handle. It will give you a view in places where you cannot get your head and help you see and understand how some of our coaches are assembled.
FWIW that bellows is the most difficult to replace, but even at that it is just going to require some time and patience.

I’m not sure which as he was able to go into the computer and found a bad module and is now replacing that and thanks for the response

A number of coaches have had an engine swap.
There are some things to be aware of however. First, if the coach has an 8V92 it is highly likely a great amount of the cost and effort is going to involve a completely different or reconfigured tag axle because the Series 60 is longer than the 8V92. Also involved is going to be a transmission change, also due to the length of the replacement engine. The six speed automatic or a 10 speed autoshifting transmission may be required, both of which are shorter than the original transmission hooked to the 8V92..
It is not cheap to rebuild an engine, or do a direct swap, but in terms of cost comparison using the existing type engine compared to changing engine types there is no less expensive way to go, even if the new engine is free.

Just curious if Prevost has tested a shell with slides in a rollover, or with converter installed 20,000 pounds extra?
-
Bob, I am sure that most dealers are trying their best. I would ask for their definition and list of items that they perform for Zeroing Out a Coach and then call Jeff and get his list..best of luck
-
I bought a Prevost because then I can take it to ETLC for zero-out, maintenance, repair, and updating. Safety was an unintended consequence.

Thanks for the reminder Andy … and like most here, we purchased our bus with “Safety First” in mind!

Sometimes yu gotta spank this group of misfits.
If I did not warn you Harry, watch out for the Fred guy. His wife is great. I have no idea what she sees in him.

From what I have learned from Allison dealers is that the stick is a rough reference, but when they want to get accurate the touch pad is what they go by.
