The Profit Tools website is great but on the go I use the Pilot/Flying J and Loves Apps. It is so easy to plan a route and see the prices on both Apps.

right, but why do we need 2?
I’m both curious and thinking of deleting 1 but….there must be a reason it’s equipped with 2.
Also wondering if the norgren valve # K910026 (which came off) has been changed to a different part #.

Sorry for your trouble. The head light switch has several terminals on the back one of which has a wire going to the controll panell to signal the headlights are on. Might look at the head light switch to see if any wires are lose. I will try to get you a wire number to look for.
Second thing you might try is up above the right windshield where there is a large bank of these switches, you should have a switch labeled Main House Disconnect, or something close to that, cycle this switch for a few seconds off then turn back on. This will turn off everything in the coach that is operated by these switches.
This might reset the system, some times it helps.
I will go over to the coach and get my wiring digrams and let you know more.

On our Liberty, the porch light would come on with all the other starboard lights if the dash switch was turned on. However, you could also turn on only the porch light from outside the bus by pressing the white button next to the doorbell switch.

I ran my coolant block heaters (1kW each) on the boat diesels (625hp 6v92TAs) 24/7 for 5 months of the year. No problems other than the electric bill. Those babies were so high-strung they needed all the help they could get.
Hard to believe you can hurt a bus diesel with a properly installed block heater (coolant-type).
Even a pan heater should be ok. The common electric oil-filled radiator heaters for home use contain much less oil and at the 1.5kW setting you cannot burn yourself on the fins.

Vantare H 3 was my first pick but the wife overrulled me because of all the steps.
Rick May is an outstanding resource and can fix any thing Prevost made, I do not know Ben but I am sure he is very good as well.
There are three build that I would go with Marathon, Liberty and Vantare all three are in business and support their product.
Best of luck on any one of the three you pick, you can count on the support and part supplies both from Prevost and the convertors.
You know how Bluebird Wanderlodge left in the dust.

Vantare would be an excellent choice. Over the years I have had 6 coaches custom built by Vantare. I am a major fan of their systems and coaches.
You asked about changing out the two chairs and table for a sleeper sofa. There should be plenty of room for a 6′ or longer sleeper sofa in their place. Should be a very easy change.
You also were concerned about leveling. I think you will find the air system will take care of most normal leveling situations. However, there are times you will need more. I carry (8) 2″x12″x12″ wood blocks for the few times I need more. Back in the 80’s when I first started rving I owned two bluebirds. I carried (4) 12’x12′ blocks in the bluebird to put under the jacks in muddy areas or fresh asphalt. Over time I really believe you will learn to like air leveling over jacks.
if you purchase a Vantare there are two people you should ge to know.
First is Donnie Myers at DMRV Service in Sanford, FL. Donnie was one of the top service techs at Vantare before he went off on his own and started his service facility. He has a state of the art facility and a great team of service pros. He knows every inch of a Vantare and has been there and done that on any challenge that you might have. He just completed a total remodel on my coach and I was blown away with the results. Donnie does it right the first time which is rare in the rv industry. He comes with my unqualifed recommendation from myself and many other very satisfied Vantare owners. If you find a Vantare coach call Donnie before you buy it. Likely he knows the coach and it’s maintenace.
Second is Jim Marsh. Check his website out at: https://www.viplcc.com/about Jim has tremendous experience and offers a very reasonble cost for your peace of mind and 24/7 help.
Hope this helps.

If you use shop air, and go past where the trip point of the air dryer is, it will dump air until you disconnect the shop air source. Mine does the same thing…my compressor (shop air) is set higher than the engine air compressor, and it cycles the air dryer and then leaks out until I shut off or disconnect the shop air.
That may be what you are hearing…..
