Sorry. Prevost parts manual, p. 873, indicates Prevost started installing Knorr Bremse brakes at bus# T-5873. I assumed your bus# was earlier than that and would have Meritor ADB1560 brakes. I know nothing about Knorr Bremse brakes.

Hi,
I knew the name but never met him. I was largely in the southeast. In addition to flying MU2s, did a lot of 135 check rides for check haulers. That industry has since been replaced with digital transmission.
The MU2 was in my mind the easiest plane to fly with proper training. Without good training, not so much.
MU2s got a bad rep from low time pilots, the normal route went something like this, private license, buy a 182, in 50 hours buy a V tail Bonanza, after 50 hours buy a MU2.
At the time there was no requirements beyond a sign off by an instructor.
The procession listed was a test, Humf 182 didn’t kill me, let me try the V tail Bo, got thru that one, now I’m gonna try the MU2, passed my MEL ride in an Apache. This was the progression till one of em killed them.
Total time 200-250 hoursJeff and Lindsay

I had an RV plumber come yesterday to see if he could put in the new parts. His “technique” was to use a chisel and a hammer to cut out all the wood around the unit and then whack the brass cap to loosen it followed by a monster pair of channel lock style grabbers to yank it out. The new plastic handle cap could then be installed seemingly solving the leak issue. I was too timid to bash the way he did. It worked, but I was nervous the whole time.
Now to find out why one of my new inverter/chargers stopped charging a few days ago. No remote monitor on this one so all I can do is look for a blown fuse or something similar.

With Don’s advice and help one of the first things I did to our bus was to rebuild the 5 stack and start replacing all the old norgren valves. I also carry spare parts for the 5 stack. As in Don’s case today, having the spare parts and a few minutes of work got his bus fixed.

I did not have an inverter bypass in either of my Liberty coaches, a 2011 and 2016 H3 models. No batteries no power, no inverter, no power. Maybe earlier years did, I don’t know.

I’m assuming the panel under the drivers window is for chassis based DC loads. For Liberty (late XL era) where is the DC panel for the 12v house loads?

My point is this; with my oem setup, I believe I have a living room light touch pad on my touchscreens which must be on before the lights can be operated by the rotary dimmers….ie both switches must be on. If the touch pad has been inadvertantly shut off, which has happened to me, lights no workie.

Did I just hear the light click on Dick?
The problem is those legislating for the elimination of ICEs still have not thought through how some folks need the range of gas or diesel vehicles, how the electric infrastructure cannot handle today’s loads, much less adding car charging, how the time required for charging impacts trips and people’s lives, or how much it costs to replace batteries. Add to that the issue of battery disposal and it suggests EVs are not yet ready for public consumption except as local, short trip vehicles.

Kind of ridiculous to charge an electric car using dead dinosaurs.
