I contacted either Prevost or Liberty (can’t remember) to get the paint specs/data for our 96 Liberty. Here’s what they emailed me and its accurate:

[Jeff]

Started the solar project fit 18 100w panels and will add a 2nd row later for 3600w total. Interestingly enough I found out i have 6 AC units and not 5 as well as I had a 3rd girard awning (back drivers side) that was screwed shut. Ended up removing the fabric and motor for that awning as I don’t think I’d ever use it anyways. We mounted them to the girard awning casings using door hinges. The plan is to run very long screws through the AC coverings so we don’t need to drill holes in the roof.

Down the road we’ll be screwing the solar panels in for now then will work on adding linear actuators and some solar tracker so I can optimize output. Then adding a 2nd row, the other row will be arched so it doesn’t hit the AC unit.

[Jeff]

Which fitting and hose? I got the 2 atf lines and 2 water filter lines from Prevost. The rest of the hoses came from siliconehose.com after I got all the measurements.

The radiator shop I dealt with here gives a core manufacturer? all the specs, they build it, and my local shop gets it puts it together. Takes about 5to7 working days. Cost with labor $3200

or

Prevost quoted me a price of $3300 for a core, they need 3 wks led time. Then a shop has to put it together.

or

Prevost quoted me $5200 for a complete radiator, they need 1 month led time. I’m not sure how much more labor is involved in this option?

the broken lines are the functions of selonoid stack when in your parked indivual air bag adjustment. the solid lines are when you are in driving mode..I took the diagram you have to office depot and had it blown up (about 20 by 30 inches and lamaniated less than 15$..you can use erase markers on it when tracing system..Use colored ones..Bob

I’ve been looking as well and they’re expensive and the resin doesn’t last long. Make sure to get one with a bypass so you can wash without using DI.

Also get water filters and a softener. I have a 2 stage filter and a softener to clean the intake water for fresh. I use a giraffetools pressure washer in my wash bay. Plan on plumbing a DI with bypass valves and tucking it away just out of room and need to reconfigure the genny vent fan to make smaller to get a bit more room in that bay.

[Jeff]

I got the CAC, radiator, gearbox, clutch fan area all cleaned and read to reinstall everything soon.

Quick follow up question

The step well cover on our liberty has an issue.

The red dots move the slide in and out;

The spool moves well and looks good.

The problem:

but I am not seeing 24v (or any voltage)

at the valves when the switch is held in either direction.

I am using the little 6 wire bus bar to check incoming voltage.

Is there a fuse or breaker that I am missing?

I may test the coils by connecting them to 24v — just to make sure that they energize and can move the valve — but that will only tell me not to replace the valves/coils.

Would thw next step to swap the switch with another similar carling switch (e.g bed lift switch)?

any thoughts would be appreciated. thanks!

The only temp sensor that I know of on ours is on the thermostat housing.

Andy, if this is a prevost converted vogue call us at East Tennessee Luxury Coach (423)884-6008

we don’t do mobile inspections but if your able to get pictures im more then happy to look it over and give my non biased opinion.

any rv that’s sat for 5 years regardless of how it was stored is going to need some love

[Jeff]

Are they 100 percent duty ?

[Jeff]

Our main cabin fan speed rheostat does raise and lower the main cabin fan speed, but the lowest speed position (ccw) isn’t anywhere near zero like is possible with the dash fan rheostat.

[Jeff]

Nothing yet.

We are also looking for stair covering material after seeing it in the buses at the Expo. We were at Liberty in Stuart after the Expo and asked about getting some made… The answer made us quickly decide to look for the material elsewhere and make our own. We will look at the Chilewich product.

Thanks Jeep, see ya there.
