Glad your enjoying the coach, I’m enjoying this 800 sq. ft. apartment.
Been here since Feb 8 and haven’t had to fill or empty a tank yet, must be one hell of a set of holding tanks.

All of the installations I have seen have had a mounting plate secured to the roof, and then to that plate the satellite dish was secured. You should be able to remove the TracStar, secure the coax cable to the plate and you are done. The plate will then be available if you or someone wants to restore an antenna to the roof.
Nobody will ever see or know the plate is up there.

My experience mirrors each of yours. That is one reason I drove 80 miles one way through Houston traffic every day they were working on my coach, even if it was only for a few minutes of work.
Number one, I always learn something when I watch someone work on my coach. I have much to learn and enjoyed what I learned about the inside of a diesel engine through this process. Number two, with Prevost they will usually need a little correction in the bill vs reality department.

The solenoid valve is in the Prevost compartment under the driver seat. It is a MAC valve model 225B-601BAAA. I sourced this valve from mpparts.com.

All,
We are such a small population that any response is appreciated.
I had doubts about the equalizers and the batteries. I spoke with Vanner service this afternoon and told them what I was seeing. They confirmed the equalizers are doing there job.
This afternoon I spoke with Eric Schwalm and to Craig Wickham. Both said it sounded like fuel delivery. Craig has me check the primary filter by opening a valve/cap on the top of the filter. When I opened I heard a little air escape. Closed it and tried to start again. Same result. Crank no start.
Craig then advised using ether. I did and she fired up on the first hit. Blew some good smoke out but set to a solid idle and never died. It is a beautiful sound and music to my ears. I ran her for solid two hours all over the place.
My thanks to Craig for calling me and staying on the phone for testing various ideas.
Tomorrow morning bright early I will make my way to the coach and see if she fires up. Either way, I will let the PC know. She starts she gets new tires. She doesn’t then the troubleshooting will continue.
Tammie and I send our deepest appreciation for the suggestions. Again, a special thanks the Craig staying in the phone to see his recommendation work.

To answer your earlier question, Dick.
We’re very interested to know what the problem with the harness was … chafing, broken connector, Short, animal knowing, etc.
The jury is still out. My first examination was “on the fly” and I could see nothing glaringly wrong with the harness. I did pick it up and put it in a zip lock bag for a closer look later. From what Jeff said on this thread and what I have read, it is probably failure without a visible cause.

Don’t feel bad Ronald, last month I drove myself nuts not being able to get the autostart light on my dash to light up even though I new the inverter settings were correct.
Hello, dumb ass I said to myself, go turn on the gen 12v battery disconnect that I had turned off for other reasons. The simple things drive ya crazy.

Jon I totally agree with your observation on this matter. Unfortunately when I pressured up the system I found An extremely large leak on this hose It is about 1 1/2 inches behind the fitting.

Granvil,
Don’t know about a Chevy 2500. But we tow a 2018 F-150 4×4. Best tow vehicle we have had. Very easy to shift the T-case to neutral and go (no battery disconnect or other issues). I also have my 2011 F-350 set up to tow. I had to order the F-350 with the manual shift on the floor T-case to tow it and set up battery disconnects. Ford fixed that problem with the shift of the fly set up on the new Super Duty trucks. My brother just bought an F-250 Super Duty diesel 4×4 and it is towable four wheels down with the very same process as the F-150.

If i am not mistaken Hearthside in petoskey was built in the early 90s with many of updates since then. It would be a hoot if a new coach owner would go in there to talk about buying a lot. Then before closing the deal ask them how long the resort has been there. When they answer tell them everything looks well maintained and updated nicely but you have a strict 10 year rule on resorts. I would pay money to see that on a youtube video. I think we even have a professional video producer here on PC

Jon,
Hasn’t been raining but has been foggy. I will look at it, thanks

You are correct. These original bulbs are near worthless. I can usually drive with brights and NO one notices. I use my Rigid LED fog lights when possible.
I replaced the bulbs to get back on the road for now, but I will move to LED at some point.
I purchased the bulb before I took it apart and the computer at NAPA said 9004. Once I opened it up, my old bulb was 9007, but the 9004 fit and worked fine so I went with it.
Thank you for your help.

Clicked the pay here link and paid with my CC. I was then asked the number in my party, answered that.
Got registration complete beneath a large black banner that said, “Registration Cancelled”. What does that banner mean, please?

That’s where the Cruise Air A/C units are located. My 88 has 2 A/C units there and a 3 in the engine compartment. That’s the same grill setup behind my bumper. If you don’t see an exhaust pipe coming out nearby, there’s no generator there.
