I have a Peplink 5g router with a T-Mobile sim in it setup as a phone account. Works very well and gets great speeds. We stream quite a bit and it works far better than the AT&T plan that we had before. We also get far better speeds with T-Mobile than we ever did with AT&T. We are on an unlimited plan and we used over 160gigs in 12 days on our last trip…no slow downs or issues at all. We have DirecTv Stream and have 2 boxes in the coach and it works great…we can be on different shows and it just works. With AT&T it was constantly buffering.

As to the Home Internet, we tried that and #1 it was slower for some reason, and #2, the rep at our local store told me that they had gotten a memo that they were going to start enforcing geofencing soon. It was sold to be used at a static spot and they knew many were using it while traveling. So the box went back. We have been very happy with T-Mobile so far (about 6 weeks) and for us, it is faster and cheaper by about $400 per month than AT&T. We ported our numbers over and that was easy and very quick as well.

Agree with Art. Start by checking power steering fluid level.

If power steering service has not been done in last few years, would also change fluid and filter.

Easy way to do so after driving and warming up the fluid…is to use vacuum pump to suction out the warm fluid, change the filter and re-fill with the reservoir lid off. Capacity is about 1 gallon of Dexron III equivalent.

When I have done this in the past, after my next drive, I will vacuum all fluid out again and simply refill. I did this three times.

Soooooo

Now have the base plate, wiring for lights & charging connected and Air Force one braking installed.

Per recommendations on this site I turned off all items suggested through the touch screen and followed the transfer case disconnect instructions.

Did a test tow around the neighborhood, all went well, but do have some turn signal light issues.

My biggest concern is; when backing up to lock the tow bar in place , I backed up a bit to aggressively and the Jeep set the auto parking brake when the car jerked from the tow bar reaching it’s limit and locking. Went back into the settings and confirmed the auto parking brake was OFF.

If the auto parking brake set itself from the jarring of locking the tow bar (even when it’s been turned off), I am concerned it will set itself when jarred going down the road.

All this automatic stuff is a PITA

There are at least two smooth posts on its backside which are secured by some type of push-on clip.

I just ordered the “Prevost” sign for bus barn storage wall art.

You could order the clips from Prevost parts, yet I would want to inspect to ensure one post has not broken. This of course assumes the design is / was the same.

Don’t use Bamboo, My brother in law living by the beach installed bamboo in his hole downstairs he has had nothing but problems and that is just the moisture in the beach air. He now is installing vinyl planking and it can handle moisture water floods and it looks great. All the bamboo went to the dump.

Thanks Jeff, Me Too

Interesting, I didn’t think upgrading from a non-ISRI to a ISRI was this uncommon.

I have been towing a 23 GC 4xe for about 1 year. No problems here whatsoever. I added a charge line for good measure, but I am not sure it is needed, but what could it hurt.

Love the car and the set up and I would do it again inn a flash.

For me it was the price point. I couldn’t afford a bus with a Series 60.

A couple times we’ve left the key on and if we didn’t have a chassis battery charger we’d be in big trouble.

I also keep a 12/24v jump pack 10,000amps just incase.

You, sir, have an eagle eye!

As soon as I looked at the photo attached here, I saw what you saw BUT have looked at it MANY times and did not realize my error! Thank you for pointing out.

Jeff,

I believe some of your coloring on your treadle valve is incorrect. Shouldn’t there be two more green lines? You have them as red.

[Jeff]

Don’t you turn off you chassis when you park 12v and 24v?? Even when we travel when we get parked I turn off chassis, I don’t need any of it.

Have the same issue with all 3 tanks slowly leaking down. Spoke with Robert Hitt ar the Prevost Expo. He said there are only 3 places the tanks combine/could leak.

* Emergency brake
* Valve under brake pedal (I believe that’s the treadle valve).
* R 12 valves

Robert said a trick they use is to air up the system, stretch a balloon over the exhaust ports on the R 12 valves and see if one inflates indicating a leak.
