Use the level low to air up / adjust until your level enough so sensors clear for operation of slide.

Good luck Mark with new coach so glad for you guys!!!!!!

There are a couple threads here titled Replace Aux Compressor. You either have an enormous air leak or your check valve or regulator are bad.

BA (Boater Al) has your vintage bus and will see this and advise I’m sure. He just went thru rebuilding his.

I just read your post again, your bed lift didn’t work? What about pocket doors?

On newer H’s the guage is on the top side of the generator in back. Can you pull your Generator out and see what the pressure is reading?

Where’s BA and Truk?

[Jerry]

In sharp contrast to Tom … Geo is openly looking for his next coach.

I suspect that Geo will continue to look for his next coach from his grave.

Regardless of which version or model, there MUST be fuses put in the battery sense lines. Prevost generally puts these where the monitor reference lines are tapped off at the Vanner battery equalizer. Make sure this has been done or add them yourself. waterproof in-line ATC fuse holders with 3 or 5 amp fuses.

We have seen many that looked just like the post pic above. The really stink when you let the smoke out of them lol.

[Jerry]

As a practical matter, if someone wants over the road full coach air as provided by Prevost it is almost a sure thing the coach will be a 2 slide Liberty conversion.

Other converters might create a second system of their own design to supplement the drivers air (only) when Prevost OTR is not installed, or set the coach up to run multiple house AC units, usually off the inverters.

[Jerry]

Liberty’s conversion facility is in North Chicago, Ill. Their Stuart, FL location is sales and service.

Dick it’s similar to the earlier 12.7s but there are several
differences. The main ones are, it had EGR, it’s a larger displacement 14
liters, it has a different gear train that drives the camshaft(known as Compact
Valve Train) and different injectors. The original HP/ torque was 515/1650, with
my modifications I would guess 600/1800. That’s just a guess, it’ll take a dyno
to find out for sure. I think 2005 is when the 14 liter started, it changed
very much in 2007 when DPF filters were added. Although the basic block and
head were the about same the engine controls and injection system was very different
and in about 2010 the Mercedes engine know as DD13, DD15 or DD16 was introduced which
require diesel exhaust fluid. There was
a very limited number of 575HP 14 liters with the old style valve train and no mechanical emission controls manufactured in 2000 or 2001. There were also a few DDEC IV compact valve train
12.7s with EGR produced a year or so before the DDEC V 14 liters were introduced.

And thanks for the compliments.

I can provide some limited information. Custom Coach was one of the
first bus conversion companies started sometime in the early 60’s. They did
mostly MCI coaches. I actually visited their conversion facility
sometime in the early 90’s. The ones I’ve seen are good solid
conversions without any complicated systems. The company was sold a few
years ago but last I knew is still in business with records of all the
coaches they converted. While their conversions are probably not
considered as valuable as the same year Liberty or Marathon. For someone
like me who values simplicity I wouldn’t have any problem owning one.

For those wanting a choice of marker lights. Here are the current LED replacements that Prevost sells for XL buses from Grote:

[Jerry]

We made it to Bella Terra!

Met a few of the PC members and I can tell already that this is going to be a fun time for all!

I put out my red cones around my passenger side slide just in case Tom and Nancy stop by as I know they are used to walking close to the side of the coach. I don’t want them to bump their heads on our slides sticking out. Nancy might like slides.

Mark and Craig

Bernie,

Still no joy…. I will try to call you later this afternoon. When I am back at the bus.

Thanks

Will he offer the Blue Beacon discounted price? Does his crew walk all over the roof? Do they hand wash or use a pressure washer? What soaps or chemicals are used?

[Jerry]

There is a gyro on all our coaches, BUT….after you even find it (sometimes it’s even buried behind a panel in one of the bays) screwing with it is definetly work for the bewildered. We’re like Jon…bathroom door…and now when I do it from the seat I know where the bubble shoud be…and it’s never the circle. Geo.

[Jerry]

This could be the case, I am not sure. I have done it before, and it is always embarassing. You ever notice, if you are at the Dr. Office, everyone is talking and congenial, the pictures of the grandbabies come out? You go see a proctologist, and everyone stares at the floor.
