I like your attitude. Hang in there.

Harry,
Remember what you were told about Good Sam and the Camping World mentality.
Do you remember what was mentioned about separating and checking the chassis batteries individually?
Now I suggest to start at the beginning with a battery test. Each one individually and separated from the others. Once the batteries are ruled out as the issue (or replaced) then the diagnosis has to go step by step if it will not start. Did your diesel mechanics measure the battery pack voltage? If so what was it?

Jon: Geeeeeeesh. After busting my balls on another thread earlier today over not going right to “batteries”, at least you could give me a little credit for pounding Harry on his batteries post after post earlier this week. You’re getting to be just like Tom.
Harry: Most of us following your situation are excited to read you plan on visiting ETLC and Jeff Rowe as soon as you can your coach fired up. Great step in the right direction. We think you’re close to turning the corner.
All my dealings with Jeff Rowe have by the hour. Because of his extensive experience with Prevost conversations he usually will estimate the time and has proven to be right on time after time.
I’d highly recommend you call Buddy Brown at ELTC and get on his schedule. Buddy is in charge of new customer orientation as well as being a long time Prevost owner. Now Buddy is a busy guy, but I’m sure he’ll take some time to help you learn more about your coach. He’s been there, done that on lots of stuff related to Prevost ownership. He’ll get you headed in the right direction and hand you off to Jeff so you can have your coach thoroughly inspected by possibly the most knowledgeable Prevost guy in the country … for sure the most knowledgeable Prevost guy within 70 miles of your house.
Good luck!!!! Keep us posted.

Other than chasing poor Harry off in another direction going after fuel filters did anyone read where his problems were accompanied by a check engine light, something that usually relates to everything but fuel filters?

I shall rephrase, I know of this Jon of whom you speak, yet I have never bestowed my weary eyes upon his presence. I often hear things of plaid, and having to walk 3-5 steeps behind him, yet rushing to have any door open for which he wishes to pass through.
I was mage to pay five years dues just for having a plastic coach, yet I was able to work out a deal where it only costs me a mere month per post. I find that very well in todays market.
As for Tom, I have heard the name spoken, but usually in a whisper for it not to charge against you.

Buddy,
Don’t you have the cool little round headlight upgrade?

I don’t have a bus yet, but we tow an F150 4×4 CC with a GL1800 Goldwing in the back.
Ok, I give up, I can’t get my picture to rotate….looks good until it posts.
Brett – Let me guess, IPhone or IPad? Tom

Your wife should be able to do that without any issues. Gen power over rides shore power, it should of made a smooth transition.
Unless she had everything running in the bus with a lot of load maybe that had something to do with it, but shouldn’t.
Do you know how to shut your bus down and power it back up? With the info your giving that’s all I can think of.
Let me just ask, how old are your house batteries?
Later

It could all be related, but what concerns me is except for the burned up solenoid he said all is OK.
We’ll see tomorrow.

Check in the front electrical junction box for CB 129 that is 12 volt battery power to the dash cluster and CB28 that is 12 volt ignition power to the dash cluster. One or both may have popped when you tried to start the vehicle with low power or even with the jump from the conversion batteries.

It’s fun to see these photos.

Clark=engine. ELC =all control system on prevost coach that tell engine what to do. That rear box alone will give the best engine mechanic fits. I have repaired wiring on prevost coaches and it is not for the faint at heart.

Belt#AX74 is correct for my bus. I can get about 3 fingers between that water pipe and my belts.
I think there’s an internal mechanical limiter built into the little tensioner airbag not allowing the fan close to the radiator.

To everyone interested in the Catherine’s Landing event:
We had a great time and got to know wonderful folks….
For those unable to attend, on Wednesday morning, those who had arrived the day before all gathered at the English Muffin for breakfast and thereafter, after helping the other attendees arrive during the day, …. we had an evening Margarita based pot-luck buffet that was unbelieveable even though a great “team effort” moved it to Jeff and Jackie’s coach about 15 minutes before we began… the light rain came and seemed to make it even more special ….thanks to Prevost Community for supplying the opening night “libations” and for the Margarita glasses each attendee received as a momento of the rally…. the laughter punctuated by the Finks from California and the wonderful commentaries of the Byrds … all added to the evening… Mark and Craig added to the conversations… and their coach is super….
The next day (Thursday) was a day for fishing (the Pres and Missus went after the Florida Stripers), another visit to the English Muffin by the entire group, visiting with each other and touring the downtown “mineral hot bath” areas and all of the surrounding hill sides… the “Kayaking crews” got started and the discussion groups went on all day… (who knew that a Challenger Jet climbs at 7000 feet per minute… ask Mark…) and if you ever watch “Outlaws” street racing on TV… Randy is one of them from Ft Worth and has competed in these events… the evening meal at the Bleu Monkey Grill was superb and a “mystery host” appeared and treated the entire group to the dinner…. what a great, charitable and caring couple …….and it topped off a great evening….
Friday saw additional Kayaking, breakfast at the Pancake House downtown, all kinds of discussions, fishing by Jo and Penny (five big 10 to 12 pound Stripers), visits to the Garvin Gardens, luncheon at Whiskers (ribs and po’ boys), ….. topped off by all of the attendees having an outdoor setting out over the water for dinner at the Fisherman’s Wharf… doesn’t get better than that… and someone brought Red Velvet cake and Blue Bell Ice Cream donated by “contented cows” to the after hours get together at Jeff and Jackie’s coach…..
Saturday, after a brief rain fall over night, all of the events continued including an afternoon two hour boat ride for all attendees interested …and narrated by the local Little Rock “docent” …all donated by the Iowa contengency…. and even though the Pres had “brung his grillin’ pit”, Catherine’s Landing had refurburbished their two pits so we “set-up” under their open awning area and used their pits for everyone to cook their own steaks… and everybody did them differently… it was a hoot to see… and Gail kept a serious interest all evening… ….. the pot-luck dinner was again unbelieveable and the camaraderie endearing… topped off by Peach Cobbler cooked over the fire prepared using Jennie’s family recipe … a group picture was taken orchestrated by Martha and Roy taken by a “passer-by” who, himself, should have his own comedy show… seriously… he was really, really funny…
And so it was that the next morning, Fred and Helen prepared a wonderful breakfast meal for all departing attendees as we said our good-byes….
The group could not have been better matched… and everyone contributed in some way…
Very best to all..
Pres and Betty

How does Featherlight know what personal items you will carry or are their pressures based on axle weight ratings?
At one time even Prevost was recommending pressures that did not take into consideration actual axle loads.
