If the “stealth” look is what the owner went for, I guess it is the bus equivalent of the younger generation wearing all black with black nail polish, black dyed hair, black lipstick, etc.

Andy,
My understanding is that the generator starts when the batteries reach about 30%. That is what I have seen on the two auto-starts.
In the brochure that I have for the batteries, it states what the amp hours are at 12V and at 24V…… and you are right, the amp hours are doubled at 12V.

OK, dat ‘splains why Tom traded the Jeep for a Ford pickup. :O) Fewer Pressure Pro sensors and fewer Lifeline batteries.

Jon,
While Prevost does not build the engines, they and Allison work in conjunction to program the transmission, and they would not program the transmission the way they did if it was unsafe for the engine, nor would Detroit Diesel allow it. It is not a matter of me justifying anything, it is a matter of getting the facts out to Prevost owners, which apparently you are unwilling to do. I am very disappointed in you, Jon.

I was getting tired of having someone refill the OTR every 2-3 years. So I bought 30 lbs of R134a for $140 on Amazon plus a set of A/C gauges from Harbor Freight and you are all set.
It takes about 24 lbs to fill completely on my 1999. To get the last few pounds into the system you’ll have to put the refrigerant container into a warm water bath (but no more than 125 degrees!). This last step is usually omitted, so you never really get a full charge. There are several posts that outline the process step by step.

A Norgren distrutor or even direct from Norgren on their website is likely to always provide the lowest prices.
Keep in mind that Prevost started having Norgren mark the valves with proprietary part numbers that distributors and Norgren will not cross reference for you with their standard numbering. There have been a number of threads and posts on this forum with Norgren and Prevost part numbers but the key is to just make sure you get valves that meet what is on your coach.

Is this on the Michelin’s?? Might have to go elsewhere if needed in a pinch. Will put Bridgestones 16 ply on mine again as they have been a good set. Fixing to have to replace mine as they are getting close to 6 years old. Still look new but that age deal is a killer.

I have bought from Prevost and Amazon and they are the exact same thing. That motor has been put in a zillion trucks so everyone makes filters for it. As cheap as it is I replace mine quite frequently.

This will give you a few ideas. I did this work on my last bus. Not sure if this is really the best stuff to use, but it worked for me.

Arcon 19186 cul listed replacement 50 amp power plug on Amazon $22.95 and it fits nicely with minimal trimming of the electrodes to fit in the portal.

Mike,
Thanks for the reply and the info.

I’m with Tom and Nancy, we love our Asko. I just replaced the dryer rollers, ordered from Marathon and were not overpriced. Runs like a champ and no more thump thump thump.

Yes Harry, we had dinner at the McKeever Lodge/Bluestone dining room and lunch after golf at the golf course grill room, both times the food and service was excellent.

I take my out every three to four weeks if not taking a trip. I run it at least 100 miles without shutting it down. At the same time I load up the generator and run it as well. I tell my wife this needs to be done so that I get a couple hours of seat time with no interruptions. She probably would like me to go for a 500 mile exercise drive.

It is going to be impossible to keep some information both factual and helpful.
If you want to understand that pick one of the hot button topics like OTR. First people with no experience with OTR, or who are looking for a coach and have to decide if they will need OTR are going to get conflicting views, both of which have to be explained. OTR as I use the term means a coach that has a Prevost installed whole coach heating and cooling system. The A/C is provided by a 6 cylinder compressor, engine driven on the rear passenger side in the engine area. But despite the need for folks to differentiate between that system and a converter installed system that supplements the Prevost installed “driver’s” air, the owners of those conversions call their system OTR also.
I have never ever seen a post in which an owner of a converter installed “OTR” has ever said it failed to keep the entire coach comfortable. Yet I have been in the bright sunshine in the southwest with 100 plus temps and my Prevost OTR has struggled to keep the coach cool despite a substantial difference in cooling capacity.
The question then comes down to interpretation. I am comfortable when the coach is around 70 or less inside. Is everyone else comfortable at a much higher temp so a lesser capacity A/C system is OK?
I can say for certain people complain (his initials are Tom) because I keep my coach too cool. So are you suggesting I am expressing an opinion about the two systems or facts and who knows which? How would you write a factual description of each system so the reader knows exactly what they are and which one will be satisfactory for their needs?
