    Prevost part number 60187. Found from the POG site from an XL Country Coach I’m thinking they are the same size though. Probably would hurt to check it out.

    Good Luck!

    There’s nothing special about different types of DI resin or enclosures or any reason to get a “car wash” type. Water softeners don’t help reduce TDS so they wouldn’t help extend the DI but they don’t hurt. Having multiple pre-filters will definitely help remove TDS and extend the life of DI.

    I’m hoping to find some whole home pre-filter that can use DI with bypass and see if I can build something cheaper and easier. I feel these car wash types are overpriced, plus I want it all to fit inside the wash bay with accessible valves in some custom casing.

    It had a welded battery strap point in the 4th battery tray. Taking the grinder to that part opened up the 4th battery tray. My understanding is that the bus is built how someone wants it, if a person wanted more capacity they would have added a 4th battery. The drawing is how the batteries were wired when I bought it, being 25 years old im sure someone has done this a few times and might have wired something in wrong.

    My battery bay is only batteries and no compressors, my air compressor is under the nose. I have the poor mans awnings that you have to operate by hand.

    I need to get some 4-0 cables and make new runs. What really sucks is I will prob have to pull the top 2 batteries out to wire this in correctly. Just how it goes at times I guess.

    I also agree with Don. As long as the neg goes to neg and pos to pos on all batteries you’re fine. Having those multiple leads going to the electronics just allows more current to flow and a bit better equalized pull but doesn’t really matter

    Your post on another thread sounded like the three batteries was on the chassis. This thread no clarifies the batteries are for the house.

    Just hook the 4th in parallel with the other three so you have all 12V output. Do not hook in series.

    What a day. Spent the first 4 hours just cleaning up boxes and getting stuff ready to send back.

    1. Installed new brake chambers and new diaphragms.

    2. Windshield was pulled and carried the new fridge though the opening. The window company said they would help and we had the fridge into the bus in 30 sec with just 4 guys. Fridge is sitting up right in the bus right now.

    3. Installed new LED head lights, now just need to aim them.

    4. Installed 4 new agm batteries. Switched my dip switches to align with the agm over the old gel batteries. Issue is the bus was designed for 3 batteries and I want to run 4. I will post asking about that.

    Also remember a new Refrigerator will not like a Modified sine wave inverter, Needs a Purer sine wave inverter, When I installed my new refrigerator I also installed 2 new Magnum 2812 inverters. I had the old Zantrex Heart black inverters when I bought it and a Whirlpool side by side Refer, Everything worked but I wanted to upgrade.

    I had a later model than the 1996 and it had Meritor. Does your bus have discs all around or drums on the drive?

    Sounds like “Rust Bullet for Concrete” that I put on a shop floor in 2014. Whatever I got on my hands, it had to wear off.

    Not sure now, but it used to come only in Black. One can paint a top coat(s) over it once it “flashes”, or dries to a tacky surface. I remember that once it dries completely, it can be challenging to get a top coat to stick properly/permanently. If you get it on your hands, it will be there until it wears off!
