    I have a few photos of mine.

    They are resold though a few places also. I would call them if interested, I called about buying a used item off ebay and they still returned my call. They indicated that i should buy the unit and that they were happy to help if I had further questions.

    I was pretty amazed about the call I had with them.

    When I asked the same question on the facebook group a lot of people chimed in and said this company made good stuff.

    They make the furniture for Liberty, featherlite, newell. To me that indicates the quality is pretty high.

    I just bought a villa international dinette. It will take a little modification to fit into my 97 liberty.

    I called villa since i bought a new old stock that was from newmar, they had very good customer service. Owner talked to me and told me if I needed help he would have no issues walking me through how to install. He also said he makes all the furniture for liberty at the current moment in time.

    It certainly sounded like one, here’s a picture.

    I see Chuck’s points also. If we were parked and sitting for longer periods of time, we might rethink our preference. But, we travel a lot and never stay more than two weeks in each location. We have also had stainless and teak on boats, but the stainless on a Prevost is far easier to take care of. And we love the look of rivets…

    There is no wrong answer, it comes down to personal preference and how the bus will be used. Sort of like the slides/non-slides argument…

    Got a check engine light and Pro Driver reported eeprom write error

    Removed ddec and sent to Detroic control services

    The memory was failed.

    Replaced memory and no programming required as I sent in before the program section was corrupted.

    Failure to address problem the shop said would require reprogramming and additional cost.

    Be aware for the future that there is a cartridge puller to remove those. . You are very lucky that the valve housing was not torn loose from its mount or the bore deformed. Glad it worked out.

    Sounds like its a good idea to buy a few of those and keep them in the bus.

    Well my new fridge will be here next week.

    Removed fridge by force. Installed 20 marker lights, 2 broke. Painted mud flap brackets and polished torque plates for rear disc brakes and sanded the seal surface smooth. cleaned ac filter under pantry, now all ac filters are clean.

    found out the rivets on the engine harness above the engine broke and the box is sitting on the intake pipe. It was that way when I bought the bus I just didn’t know it

    Yesterday I dropped my drums off to be turned. I will also be dropping my tag axle discs to be turned.

    I might remove the entire caliper assembly and take it to the brake shop to have the bottom caliper pin removed. A few people said just leave it as the caliper slides, but I want it done right. So I choose to be complicated.

    I am still pending pricing for all my brake parts, and air bags, air lines and shocks. I hope to wire wheel the frame in areas today and put a rust converter on those places and then paint. So much to do so little time

    February 28, 2023 at 1:54 pm in reply to: Infrequent boost and rpms problem

    The likely is a turbo boost sensor because I had them on my coaches. But before I did anything I would see if the coach is showing any codes. It may be necessary to wait to read them when the problem occurs.

    Do you get a check engine light?

    I bought a used Nexiq reader off ebay for every coach I have owned and in every case what I paid ($500 to $1,000) was cheaper than letting a Detroit Dealer hook his up and begin the rape which was sure to follow. I bought all mine with software for the DDEC version I had.
