This video was on the net a while back. I also noticed the patrolman looking down. He was holding his head down so his hat wouldn’t blow off. If you look at the grass along the road, it’s really windy outside. Still, it was not safe for him to have his head down.
The old ’86-’87 Chrysler 5th Ave. didn’t have airbags back then. It appears that the damaged went all the way to the back door so there was not a very good chance of survival if someone was in the passenger front seat. You can hear the cop say “Oh my God” when he sees the person in the car. It must have been a terrible sight.
There are just some things in life you don’t want to see.

Or, if you have confidence in the quality of the brand x tire, and it’s marked same size as others, install on tag. Slight difference won’t matter.

No cutoff. I think it might be for their information. When I was in the Prouds parking was in the order folks showed up so you don’t have to be concerned the coach year is a means of discriminating.

we’ve heard with discount, XZA-2’s were priced somewhere in the neighborhood of $5380 for 315’s.

Thanks for the replies. Hate to not use the single brand new tire, but its just money!

Jim just mentioned “dumb questions”, here there is NO such thing as a dumb question here… everyone of us owned a “first” bus and didn’t know much about them… sharing our experiences has been incredible … it continues to amaze me how much everyone really “cares” about someone’s problem and goes all out to help them… we always seem to get pointed in the right direction and the day gets saved… that means everything !!
Jon & Tom have worked their hearts out getting this up and running and it is without a doubt the most informative Prevost sight ever !!
Again thanks to Jon & Tom…you guys are in a class of your own !!

I have no problem trying to help new owners I do have a problem with stupidity from those that think they have all the answers and use no common sense like on some of the other boards

Great Job Jon and Tom!!!!
I’ve only been on here since around April, and I totally enjoy the conversations, comments, pictures and help in trying to keep up with my bus myself.
The fuel discount is great.
Look forward to meeting everyone in Tampa.

OK guys, I am really having fun with this.
I replaced the leaking ride height valve, and went out this morning……..leaned over again.
Now, I can hear a leak that sounds like its coming from the area of the air dryer, I can see it with a flashlight, and sprayed it, but no bubbles. There is a tank above it, but I can’t get to it.
I may drive it up on my ramps this weekend and look for it. Or, I could take the drive tires off, and maybe find it from there. Still have some Norgrens to replace.
I’ll get it…….ain’t giving up!

Took this from the Aqua Hot service manual. As you can see it states .5 gallon usage for continuous run. Must be significantly less during intermittant use and quantity used may also be different depending on which exact model is being used.
Diesel-Burner, Fuel Consumption (Continuous Operation) ………………………………………………………………………………………………………. 0.50 gal/hr

Thanks Peter….I do have the diesel on and the electric on as well as the electric bay heater AND the cube heater inside the coach. The silver leaf is set to turn on the genny if the power goes out but I also have a whole house generator (nat gas) that kicks on in the event of a power failure in my home which the pole barn is attached to……my question was not about what to leave on it was about the burn rate of diesel on the aqua hot. For the next 2 weeks it looks like the highs will be in the mid 20’s and the lows are in the mid single digits to teens at best.
I’ve noted today for instance that the aqua hot unit has kicked on about 5-6 times since 5 a.m. and runs for about 10-15 minutes each time it is on. I can see the exhaust line from the house each time it kicks on and I’ve been watching today. The high here is 15 degrees!
I read that the unit will burn about .39 gallons of diesel per hour….. So today, in my mind, if it turns on 12 times per day…….runs for 15 minutes each time….then that equates to about 3 gallons of diesel burned today to keep the coach warm. Is the system set to turn itself off if there is a half or quarter of a tank of fuel?

Jerry,
The XLII’s are 12″ from bottom of the top plate to the top of the bottom plate.
The rear is 11 3/4″. Not sure if the H is different.
