California is a beautiful state. I had the pleasure of being station at Castle AFB for B-52 training. I also have family members in Lodi and San Jose. That being said, I really am saddened by the path the Golden State is on. From a $$$ boondoggle of a rapid rail system to the insanity of its failure to address its water system issues and all of the other policies. The path the politicos, R & D, of that state have placed their citizens on is what is Depressing.
The sad thing about what Caly is doing was summed up by my late father. He use to say “as California does today, the rest of the nation follows”. Buckle up folks, it’s going to be a very bumpy ride.

Unless I am mis-reading the VIN…this is 1994 chassis?

Hmm… Have you not looked at the video for Pressure Pro and how to eliminate the prone to failure inside dual extenstion?

Larry,
I have found, when chasing leaks and spraying soapy water, that soaping down the fittings will a lot of times, not show an immediate leak, especially on a slow leak like you have. Wait a few minutes, and come back later, you may then see leaks that you didn’t before.

Thanks Ron…
We will be there for sure… when do we sign up???
Cheers, Diane

My bad. I saw that and thought it was a black and white photo.
I’m dialing the local crow dinner shop now, but can we agree at least that there is no blue hose acceptable for the hot side?

Cleaning off the top roof rail or cap to be put back on

So how might it play out for non-domiciles? I suppose I will need some sort of home location for insurance purposes, but that could be Montana? The other possible issue I can think of is garaging. At the moment, I am (theoretically) thinking of TN as being the most convenient for me. Insurance may be higher as well, we’ll have to see. Finance won’t be an issue though.

my 98 has them on tags(abs sensor). also the cheapest place for tag/steer brake pads was Prevost parts. FWIW Bob

Well, Brett, sounds like you dodged a bullet and saved a bunch of money in the process! Congrats.
On another note, we went from 4 slides on the plastic coach to 2 on the bus. I think it helps a lot, but I do like to kick out the foot rest on the chair while watching TV, and Natalie and Ian will usually fold out the couch and lay together. No way to do that without slides. Also, I like to cook and I use every square inch of space in the kitchen. Tighter is not better.
It still seems as if it is a little tight in the bedroom but at least it is manageable. I can’t imagine having in there what we’ve got without a slide.

There are some pre-2000 Prevosts with slides. California Coach Co has a 97 H3 with two slides. Seems a bit high-priced, but maybe a reflection of having slides. The only thing would be that they would not be factory Prevost slides. You may want to do some research on non-Prevost slides before going that way. -
I have had some conversations with Mark Koch of Automotive Appraisal Services of Yorba Linda, CA. Recently he sent to me sample forms he asks people who seek an appraisal to fill out.
I have gone through the forms to see how they might apply to our coaches, and while there are some items that are obviously listed for other types of motorhomes or RVs it is clear that by providing the information requested he will have a very clear understanding of the coach and an ability to provide an accurate appraisal.
It is real easy to get comfortable with the thought of an appraisal when you know how much detail is taken into consideration. I realized the form is a benefit to the coach owner as well. It has enough detail that when it is time to sell the coach, it can be used to get an appraisal, but also as a document helpfutl to a potential buyer who will have a detailed list of the items that go into defining the value of a coach.
Good job Mark.

Al,
How many beers have you had? Leak is mine… it’s on my bus barn floor and when I looked at the back side of the tire I was looking at my Tire.. 🙂
Safe to drive it?

I have no way of knowing if the Liberty generator radiator fan is overkill or not, but it works. I cannot recall ever seeing a generator temp in excess of 180 on any of my coaches regardless of the load on the generator or the outside temps.

It is important that you learn how your coach is set up as far as your inverters and electrical system and that you store your coach such that you do not trip your shore power for storage, and that you have a plan for an extended power outage.
One week between visits is ordinarily not a problem, but if your inverters are set for the maximum charging rate, you have a refrigerator on and maybe some other devices or phantom loads you could trip your shore power breaker if there is a loss of power and then it is restored when your inverters go into max bulk charging rate.
A tripped breaker combined with a refrigerator full of perishables coud create serious issues beyond dead batteries.
We have some very smart Vantare owners that can help with how to set up your coach for storage by adjusting charge current on your inverters and advising how to leave the coach for long term.
Fortunately I believe your slide seal does not require operation of the aux conpressor so that is one concern off the table. I believe on your coach every 120V device runs through your inverters so the more devices you leave on for storage the shorter your house batteries will hold a charge. Is this worth worrying about? Probably not because it is a rarte event that disrupts utility power for extended periods, but it does happen and it is a good thing to have a plan to mitigate damage.
