The alternative is to cap the line, but then the parking brakes have to be caged. Air pressure or caging are the only two ways to get the brakes released.

Jim & Chris,
Do you guys lift the tag often on our sister coach? Maybe because we are only
a 40 footer, I don’t think I need to lift it.
I ordered my replacement clevis yokes from Prevost : 640130 YOKE, BRAKE
CHAMBER
I also ordered my missing drum retaining screws: 620040 SCREW, DRUM
RETAINING
Still trying to determine if I can fit a 22.5 X 90 steel wheel on the insides.

The chuck was threaded on and I replaced it with an extended straight chuck as pictured above.

None of the use of your bus is worth the risk of what could happen.
I totally agree with Bill.
I had a oppurtunity to show my bus in a magazine shoot…..my attorney asked why would you open yourself to risk when someone trips., cuts there finger or bus damage …even minor damage to your bus.
Why are they not using a RV rental company ?

On our Bus, 2006 Liberty XL there is a button on the dash air/bus air controller that selects celsius/farenheit. Hope this helps. I can attach a picture if needed.

Thanks for the tip on Vintage. Just picked up a 1965 Mustang Coupe at auction and they look like the go to guys for retro cars.

U likey discounts? I likey discounts.
I won’t need to buy oil for a long long time.
Use the NAPA/AITA discount card at the local NAPA. “Example”: The NAPA/AITA discount price for a 5 gal pail of conventional Mobil Delvac 1300 Super 15-40w is $59 ea, minus a rebate of $35 ea, comes to $24 for 5 gal. There’s a limit of six(6) $35 pail rebates per household. Also available is Mobil Delvac 1, Mobil Delvac Extreme, Mobil 1 Turbo Diesel Truck, and Mobilfluid 424 oil in various pkg sizes with rebates up to $60 ea.
This Mobil Delvac oil discount program is good thru the end of 2018. Be sure to read the terms and conditions.

How were the roads and view pull offs for the bus and do you need to lock in an itinerary and reserve sites in advance?

Got the springs. Any trick to compressing them for install?

I ordered 5 coils from his site IMI, he called to see if there was anything else I may be interested in so suggested the norgrens. I told him I may have a source @ Kentucky Pneumatics so he said he would get me good pricing. I still have not talked to my friend @ KP but I feel these are really decent prices.
His contact is: Steve Stamas @ Mosier Fluid Power

Check! We will watch this thing. There were Penntex available but all were out of state.

What Davy’s car had was electronic stability control. It is a feature on almost every car today and on late model Prevost coaches.
It did what it was supposed to do which is to prevent an out of control slide or skid. And yes I think it is a great feature, but not a replacement for a driver that should be working very hard to avoid it from ever having to engage.
Jon, at this point nothing replaces the often defective “nut behind the wheel” part of the driving equation. Looking back when ESC first appeared on select vehicles naysayers were quick to call these features “nannies.” I can only wonder in the years since implementation how many lives have been saved.

OK, a long time ago when I was looking for a supplemental braking system for my toad, a 2003 Dodge Ram 4X4 with the 5.7 liter (348 CI) the M&G website specifically stated there was insufficient room available to install an M&G. So first action would be to look on the M&G website for your specific toad. So I then found and looked at the AF1 system. Yes it does have a link to the brake pedal and the only thing I lost was the feature that allowed the brake pedal to be moved closer or farther away from the driver. At 6′ 4″ I never found that to be a useful feature for me or the wife. So the feature was disabled from use. If not disabled and someone else knew about the feature got in and moved the brake pedal toward them at the same time they would be applying the foot brake. Not good.
As I said earlier, I am very pleased with the 10 years and 6 months that it has been in constant use. One part of our pre-trip includes applying the coach brakes while the co-pilot observes the toad brake pedal movement. This is easy to accomplish during the coach brake check when applying repeated brake application to check operation of the service brake activation.

Yahoo! Looking forward to another PC gathering. We are registered, worked fine.

I find it very disappointing that Prevost (or the converter?) didn’t clearly label the gauges for what they are for.
