To the best of my knowledge there is no perfect answer to protecting the front end of any bus from chips and dings.
The film eventually turns yellow, cracks and generally starts to look shabby, then it is a challenge to get it off.
The bra is a PITA to put on, take off, keep moisture from beneath it. It offers protection, but if moisture and road dust and dirt get behind it the finish gets damaged.
The clear plastic shield is very protective, but it gets a cloudy appearance (as if it looked good anyway) and when the coach needs cleaning you have to wash the front of the shield, the back and the front of the bus. As much a pain as the bra.
No protection exposes the front of the bus to chips and dings that will look pretty lousy by the time the coach has miles on it.
Pick your poison. There is no good answer.

What’s a blue pill and what is it for?
How do you know I am not the kid in the library with the bone in his nose? Who is this George fellow?

The flasher should be in the steering bay or under the dash.

It sounds to me as though someone made a mistake in changing out the 2 equalizers and battery bank. I just recently did the equalizer recall for my chassis, a simple procedure of 3 wires and 4 bolts and done. But if there was a short or wrong cable installation of the battery bank, all sorts of things could have happened. We just had one of our members needing to take his bus back to Marathon after the equalizers were changed, one equalizer was fried and the fairly new battery banks health is now in question. So this equalizer issue makes one wonder if the new replacement has problems.
When changing out the batteries, the Marathon needs the shore power disconnected, gen remote disabled, gen breakers off, house 12 & 24 disconnect switches off, inverter disconnects to off and ground cables to the equalizers disconnected. Since the house batteries are 12/24 wired in series/parallel, a mistake made with cabling or shorting out a terminal without all of the above done could lead to bad electrical problems.
If the generator was running fine prior to the coach being worked on and was putting out high voltage on start up after the batteries and equalizers were changed out, that sends up the red flag to me. And to make matters worse, all the other electrical components that just all of a sudden failed due to high voltage also points to an installer mistake somewhere in the work performed.

Anyone have contact with a motor pool solider from Iraq. I wonder how those batteries are holding out in the heat over there?

Tom,
May I recommend Painless Parker, DDS! He will roll those pups out of there in a minute and you can go home with a new set of fiberglass choppers the same day and he gives you even more GAS than you get here! He has an easy payment plan and an on site lab… You could be the talk of the rally!! And they cleanup real nice with used brake fluid……………… Stay away from fresh apples for awhile!
And, no I have no experience with him personally save I sold him a re-conditioned Nash a few years back!!
.
Google On Guys!

there is a shop in Florida that has parts. You can order parts from him or send the dish in and he will go through it.

Thanks Clifford. That is good information.

Interesting Al, I’ve never seen an 18,000 lb steer axle on a 2000 year coach. I didn’t think Prevost developed the 18K axle until the 2003/2004 chassis year. Good for you!
Here’s mine, full fuel and fresh water, empty grey and black, packed to go, two on board, (factory 365’s tag and steer, 18K steer axle, two slides). Mine costs ten bucks; I got ripped!:

Very good point Jon!
There are flexible adhesives used to mount glass or acrylic mirror panels to walls, but anything on a ceiling should by acrylic mirror panel additionally secured with hardware usually accomplished by adding trim like an edge border that will also hide the expansion gap. Ie: the artistic design of mirror, wood and fabric ceilings.
I think the plastic over mirror the writer was referring to is actually acrylic mirror itself and not glass at all.
