The ceiling ones in the front lounge don’t work. Don’t know if the strip is bad or just a wire loose. The rear ones have a few lights out. I would like to upgrade them, and also add some lights around my windows and on my steps. I definitely want dimmable. Thanks for the info.

Lots of new owners and new coaches. Congrats to everyone.
Don’t forget, new owners need to send Tom and I very expensive gifts. It is the custom here on PC. Alright, I’m just kidding.

the burgundy one is the Country Coach with SWest paint scheme and decor

If the coach was serviced by Prevost they will have the service records. Give one of the service centers a call with the coach VIN number and they can provide any information that they have.

You never know when you might need help too. If for no other reason, that’s why I always try to lend a helping hand. As a former boater, one that did off shore boating, I found that generally all boaters will help you out. Afterall, when you’re stranded on the water you can’t simply park it and walk home.
Tom, I’m sure the gentlemen in his dream RV will not forget the helping hand you extended.

Jack: It is hot here and I regularly use the coach for dry camping up to 100F. Over that, the cruise-air’s crap out but I have OTR. I’ve never actually checked batt temps or inverter temps because I’ve never had an issue, even when it may be 90-100F and I’m recharging batteries at max rate…no batt, inverter or allen bradley issues.

There have been two agencies that have served Prevost owners very well.
Miller is one, and the other is Explorer. However Explorer is National Interstate Insurance Company’s in house agency so unlike Miller they are going to steer you toward National Interstate.
National Interstate is highly respected as an insurer of our coaches. I know first hand how well we are taken care of by them. However they are not the only insurance company that will cover Prevost conversions. That is where Miller comes in. They also will write National Interstate policies because as agents they represent National Interstate, but if for some reason coverage is not available through National Interstate due to premium costs or other reasons Miller will shop for you to get the best coverage. Miller represents a number of insurance companies that know our coaches and understand we need specialized skills to do repairs.
Cheryl who wrote the above is on target when she says if your agent or insurance company needs you to explain what a Prevost is or what a Prevost conversion is you need to be very afraid. Again, I know from first hand experience that if the worst happens you want an insurance company adjuster who knows what a Prevost is, knows the different converters, knows we are insuring two parts, the chassis and the conversion, and who knows who best handles needed repairs. We cannot go out and get three quotes. We cannot take our damaged coach to Camping World and get it repaired. So it is important we let folks like Miller Agency guide us to the best insurer for our own needs because if the time comes to ever have a claim you do not want a company that does not know our coaches trying to tell us that some local collision shop will be doing the repairs.

I really agree with Ken on this. He and I have had conversations about diesel engines running lean and my 87 with DDEC I could be driven like I stole it and my EGT readings on the pyro would peak at 1100.
The EGT does go up to about 300 on the Jake on a long steep downhill so that is normal. That is only the heat of compression.
One thing that might be a contributing factor that hasn’t been mentioned is the intercooler. Has anyone verified it is OK? If it is leaking or plugged it is going to definitely reduce air which brings the air / fuel mixture closer to peak and is driving the EGT (pyrometers) up. The only problem with that theory is typically the greatest power output comes close to peak EGT although that is the hardest on the engine but if the DDEC meters fuel relative to turbo boost that would explain why low air is also low power.
This is just a brain dump and may not be worth the bandwidth it is written on.

Thats a good one Charles!!!

I didn’t see anyone post this, but if you go to the Canadian Border Patrol web site to see what fruit, Veggies and meet you are allowed to take across along with alcohol yoou will be in great shape. It is acutally tougher to return into the state than it is to go into Canada. I am from Washington State and have lived half my life in Canada.
Have fun, it is a great place to explore, and don’t forget Kalowna BC. Great wine area.

I am a newbie and this will be the first time I have the privege of visting a Prevost service center. I have fixed every item my self this past year, but a leaking slide has me stumped. Will be in there on 3/10/14.
Hope to meet some great people

I traveled through Canada going to Alaska. None of our border crossing took more than 5 minutes. Your insurance company will give you a Canadian insurance card, although customs won’t be checking for insurance.
We didn’t have any issues with a 45-footer and tow. We didn’t have any problems finding CGs that we could navigate. Keep in mind so only have 30A service. So, your cook top won’t work.
We really enjoyed our stay in Canada
