It will not run on chrome as I recall, but I think it states that.

Ronald, awesome post! Thanks for sharing!

If it turns out to be the emergency brake diaphragm I would urge you to cage the emergency brake and cap the air line to the emergency brake side of the chamber. Your service brakes will remain 100% effective but the parking (emergency) brake will be far less capable than they are now. Attempting to drive somewhere to make the repair without caging the brake could be a problem because if the problem is the diaphragm there is no telling how long you will be able to build and hold pressure.
BTW, don’t ask me how I know this.

Thanks for your input Don. I printed that chart for future reference. The chart I was using yesterday was for a running system. After firing it up, the low side was showing 37 psi and was prexactly in line with the chart. And with the ball in the right place I was so happy, I just quit. So I’ll wait for it to mess with me again, prolly Petosky in August.

Just for the hell of it …I used MapQuest ;choose a mid city in Panama.
Kansas City, MO to Santiago, Panama. Works out to 3402 miles one way.
I’ve read 1000’s of e-mails and posts but that’s a new one.
Sort of reminds me of the winning Lottery ticket scam.

Tom , if the old curmudgen only drives 60 why is he in the left lane.
I usually cuss people who drive slow in the left lane !!!!!!!
Why not matching Corvette red knit shirts with Team PC embroidered on them.
Could also have rank on them Capt. Jon and PFC Chilcote
Tom, did you feel like your were the navigator in the Baja 1000 race.

Thanks Tom!

Ummm… Jon, pretty sure those gauges are labeled “MPH”

Not fighting Bill, but really concerned that a lot of owners will seek out alternate service providers who they think are doing a good job, but in fact are not. We as owners have no obligation to know or understand the nuances of taking care of our coaches, but we do have to be sure those we engage to take care of our coaches are in fact doing all that is required to maintain the coaches and keep us safe.
It has to be understood that we have a complex vehicle and both the house and the chassis have to be maintained properly or we can have a mess on our hands. I get the phone calls from folks who placed a lot of confidence in their local maintenance provider, but found out too late their faith was misplaced. One owner who is very active in this site had a guy who represented himself as very competent and they believed and trusted him. Until they found the air bags were 1/2 full of water and they realized their mechanic may have been very good with Series 60 diesel engines but lacked the knowledge and ability to understand the air system needed routine service.
My point is we have two choices and that is to turn the responsibility for coach maintenance to people who really do know what they are doing or do what Ronald Reagan said and that is to trust but verify. By verifying I mean we have to understand what maintenance is needed by pulling the information from the various sources such as our Prevost manuals along with the manuals for all the other devices and systems installed on our coaches and just verify service is following the schedule.
You have a good service provider but I can say with confidence those who are able to fully support the maintenance needs of a coach are relatively few and far between.

This has always been a touchy subject to discuss and you are correct in noting that different states have different requirements relative to licensing. I am not in a position to list all the requirements but I do know a person driving “out of license” runs a risk of not only being cited for the infraction, it is probable the coach is going to be parked until a licensed driver can move it. If someone cops an attitude with a cop it is also likely the cop will not work with you, and may have it towed off the highway.
This is a fast read on the topic…..

Chip,
Why beat yourself up, block his email and forget he exists. There are many morons out there, you should see the crap Jon and I get. He probably doesn’t own anything bigger than a 28’ Winnebago.

Middle of the stainless rubrail pulls out (heavy duty velcro/silicone holding it on) … The stainless rubrail is bolted on … Thru-bolted to the inside of the bay door … Then the plastic lower panel is glued on. Make sure you’re ready to work when you’re ready to tear off that plastic panel. It’s tough!

Harry, is there any truth to the rumor your next book will be a fictional look at the characters you’ve encountered during your period of motorhome ownership?
If so, can Robert Redford (older me) and Channing Tatum (younger me) play my role when you sell the movie rights?
