Looking at pictures of some of my AC wiring, it appears to be solid. Are you sure you have stranded?

I run the block heater or AquaHot engine heater most of the time we’re parked. Overkill? Maybe, but the engine never gets cold soaked and we spend much of the winter in cold weather.

Welcome to the asylum. If you have any questions you have come to the best forum for answers, and on certain rare occasions the answers provided are going to be correct.
If you can set aside the time try to attend the Knowing your Prevost seminar in Vonore TN in March. There is a lot to know about a Prevost and you will enjoy it much more if you understand its systems and operating procedures.
And if you really want to meet some of the folks that make up this site (now well over 2300) come to Lakeland FL in February for the Carlisle Event. It is a fantastic experience run by some great people who go out of their way to make sure we are having a great time. All Prevost coaches are going to be together in one area with access to a private suite for meals and a mini seminar, refreshments and evening entertainment.

Jon, does the valve marked converter have a shut off like Marathon to separate the house and coach aux air?
Does Liberty plum that way, can’t tell buy the picture. Does the air flow to the house to the left of the valve?
And finally if that valve is not a shut off valve, if the coach aux air was empty, could you fill it from the aux
compressor or is there like a check valve in that valve marked converter? Thanx -
Bob,
I believe Eric’s issue is not related to airing anything on the Prevost side, but getting air from the Prevost aux tank to the house. Apparently running the aux compressor however does open the path.
Questions…….If the system is pressurized by running the engine does air get to any house functions such as doors, dump valves, etc? Can if be assumed the bus will function in all level low and driving settings? Or more precisely everything on the bus accessory circuit works such as belt tensioners, door lock suspension, retarder, etc?
If running the aux compressor does get house functions to work, do they work all the time after that?

Jon, I presume that despite your frustration, installing a switch to operate the door is not a feasible or practical option?

The OEM installation caulk is Sikaflex 255FC (FC = fast cure). In June 2014 it was $11 a tube from Prevost Parts and they will send you two tubes. Be sure to mask off both sides of the joint between glass and frame to minimize clean up, otherwise cleanup will be the bigger part of the job.
You can search/see my post/discussion from 6/14. -
Thanks! Ordered the SSP-50XL which comes with a weatherproof cover and supposedly brighter LED lights. As all stated, cheap insurance.

I would like to purchase the same altimeter as the one in the pic in the above post from Buddy. They don’t seem to be used much anymore, but I think LIBERTY used them later than most converters . I had them in my previous prevost’s . Called LIBERTY on two different occasions but never returned my call. Any ideas would be appreciated.
Thx.Bill S.

Very good read. We have been using Mark Koch to appraise vehicles since 2009. Great guy, knows busses and vintage airstreams. Our insurance agent, Miller Insursnce, turned us on to Mr Koch

We had plans to head out to the Bonneville Salt Flats for the racing, but that has been cancelled. Had we made that trip, I think your place would have been a great place to stop half way. Thanks for the offer!
