Was that the PR-2 valve on the end of the Aux tank under the front of the bus?

My new to me 2000 Royale XLV has a CR Spotless that in the default water intake configuration is bypassed. It’s also plumbed into a pressure washer that sits behind the front bumper (nothing else in there – i.e., roof airs).
That said, I’m not real keen on having a pressure washer in that area. I know the prior owner used it often, but every pressure washer I’ve used in the past seems to leak just as much water as it sprays.

simple they screwed up…!!! should be on them..for repairs!! would seek another service place.. Please post outcome as their reputation is in Question here…My opinion only..Keep any parts replaced and let them know up front you expect them before paying charge..

New Muffler installed. Prevost changed the muffler slightly, the down tube is back about 2 1/2″.

Our 45′ XL lifts the tag an inch or two off the ground right away. I use the tag lift often to get in and out of the driveway (we live on a narrow private lane). I don’t worry about tire scrub because I’m never going to wear out a set of tires before they age out, but I need the turning radius sometimes.

Just a word of caution…..Prior to self adjusting brakes all that was required was to tighten the slack adjuster as Don described and back it off anywhere from 1/3 to 3/4 turn to keep the shoes or disc off the braking surface of the drum or disc.
But later models have self adjusting slack adjusters and anyone fooling with them should get familiar with how they work and understand the correct way to verify they work properly, and adjust them. I do not remember if it is in the Prevost service manual or if I learned if from the Bendix certification class, but one way to adjust brakes with automatic slack adjusters is to loosen them by backing off the setting, and then fanning the brakes to allow them to self adjust.
I never did them that way, always manually adjusted them when working on the brakes, but can see how that method can work.
I have seen dire warnings about NOT manually adjusting self adjusting brakes.

I did 380 gigs last month on the FMCA plan. Pretty good service most everywhere I go.

NAPA has Racor parts used on your bus. Ask to see the WIX catalog.
That will give you lots of information and choice. By all means carry a spare plastic filter sight glass with your spare parts. They have been known to suffer rock damage.

Good to hear! Where is home base?
-
Mark & Kristi: DUH! Hadn’t thought of that! Thanks!

As Don says there is likely an open-close switch on the dash, or the converter may have wired or plumbed them to open or close automatically depending on if the bus heating and A/C system is calling for heat (closed) or cool (open).

THANK YOU Art! Really awesome job on your bus!
-
Great feed back , thank you . So I guess locations close to home base are important as i would not park in Missouri being a Fla resident .
So sounds like if rent is kept under 400@ month price is fair . Then it’s just a matter if the location suits owners .

I do not have any solenoid like that in the side compartment but I do in the engine bay.
It has 24 volts on one side and when I hold the start switch in it has 24 bolts on the other side so it appears to be working properly.

Thanks Art,
I will take a look.
