It’s tough when you complain about the sales entities, but don’t identify those that you consider not doing their job. If they’re Prevost Comminity advertisers, anytime this has happened in the past, they have stepped up and tried to correct any communication shortfalls. Sometimes the lack of attention is because of perceived email interpretation.
Jon and I will also do our best off site to help solve these problems if your uncomfortable with posting the details.
Would also help if you add a signature and open your email.

The answer is likely an easy one, but the question and associated information is lacking.
What kind of conversion? What model of conversion if the converter offered two models. For example, Liberty, Marathon, Country Coach, etc.
What batteries need charging? House, chassis?
Loose belts can be as simple as airing up the coach so the pneumatic belt tensioners are inflated.
The more information you provide the better the answers.
Do not rule out the fact old batteries that have been dead or deeply discharged are not going to ever get charged and if you have one or can get one it is strongly suggested you get or have access to a multi-tester because questions relating to batteries, charging, electrical circuits etc. almost always will need information about voltages under different circumstances.

Liberty does not have a means to flush the holding tank. Having a direct connection from a fresh water source to a holding tank for flushing is about the most gross violation of good plumbing standards I can think of due to the potential for back flow.

Apples and oranges Dick.
Nothing made those clunkers illegal to own or drive. If you had a clunker and you liked it you could still be using it today.
But when your bus doesn’t meet some new regulation and has to be removed from service on a certain date you just lost the cash portion of that program.

Exactly Jon. As if it isnt enough to control things by regulating manufacturing. Why not let products run their useful service life once they are made. Shameful.

My Blue Ox was showing alot of wear after pulling either a Ram 2500 or Jeep Wrangler for about 40k miles. I contacted Blue Ox in Pender Ne, they provided me a FedEx label and pickup via email. They are paying shipping both ways and overhauling the towbar for a quoted $150, it was picked up Saturday supposed to be back in a week to ten days. I thought it was a helluva deal.

The fan clutch that I just had replaced cost was $1521.65 for the part and considering the complexity of it, I don’t really consider it to be out of line. It was the original clutch, I’m sure, and it had just under 200,000 miles on it. I don’t know if that would make it a short life part or not but if this one is god for another 200,000, I’m pretty sure it will outlast me.
The new clutch obviously has been redesigned and improved. For one thing, it has a very simple means of locking it up in case of a problem. A feature that the original did not have and it makes me much more comfortable to have that easy roadside option available. It also appears to have better cooling features incorporated.
I have no idea of how much locking it up would cost in fuel economy, but it obviously requires some horsepower to pull it and if you’re going to work the horses you have to feed them. The answer to that question would be interesting to know.
The total bill for the job was $3137.84 and I had the antifreeze on board as I was prepared to do the job myself if necessary. Considering all that was involved, I considered it a bargain. I’m tickled to death since I didn’t even have to get my hands dirty.

If you have Amazon Prime then you can do this for free after you have the hardware. Get Amazon Firestick to watch movies in your coach. Get an Amazon Recast DVR and install in your coach. The Recast picks up OTA channels and records them. You view these recordings thru the Firestick. You can record 2 or 4 OTA channels at the same time depending on what hardware Recast product you purchase. It works great.
Doesn’t this unit require an internet connection to populate the grid guide?

Darrell,
The sightglass they are referring to is in the curbside condenser bay. Do not get it confused with the sightglass on the compressor itself. That one is for compressor oil. Whole different animal. Search Don’s posts ( Lonestarace ) he is very through on this stuff.
