I don’t run my generators enough, but so far the two Kohlers I have had had only one issue and that was a failed fuel pump on the last coach. I hope I don’t regret saying that because in the near future I am looking at 4 weeks of dry camping spread over 3 trips and I just turn the generator on when I get up and run it every day until I go to bed.

Assuming Dan has collision coverage his insurance company will take care of him up to his limits. The insurance company will then collect from the lady at fault. That is why we stress agreed value and pay premiums based on that. Otherwise Dan and Judy will be arm wrestling with the lady’s insurance company for fair compensation.

Patrick,
That is a good practice, Preventitive maintenance is always a good thing. I think the Donaldson Blue is a little more advanced than the regular filters. Newer nano Tech. The only price I have seen so far is 146.00 , That is for a part # that I have no idea what it is for. They might not even make one for a prevost at this point ? Guess I will have to call and talk to a representative. Below was copy and pasted from their site. OTR Truckers that have switched to them claim to have an increase in MPG. Amsoil has them on their site FWIW.*******************************************************************************************************************************
Donaldson Blue™ air filters deliver cost-saving benefits:
* Longer Engine Life
* Longer Filter Life
* Ideal for Extended Maintenance Intervals
* Double Mileage Guarantee
Donaldson Blue™ Air Filters with exclusive nanofiber technology offer longer engine life, longer filter life, initial efficiency up to 99.99 percent and five times more capacity.
The nanofiber technology causes submicron contaminants to be held on the surface layer of smaller fibers. This filtration characteristic is only possible with this new type of air filtration technology. In on-highway applications, where the contaminant is primarily submicron in size, Donaldson Blue filters cause less restriction than conventional filters with cellulose media. The smaller interfiber spaces of nanofiber technology have a higher efficiency and capture more contaminant.
The following illustration may help visualize these phenomena: Imagine two filters, a chain link fence and a mosquito net, with a tennis ball being a dirt particle. As you may have observed, a tennis ball will fit quite nicely into an opening of a chain link fence, but will obstruct the hole almost 100%. Now imaging the same tennis ball covering a mosquito net. The tennis ball, at the point of contact with the netting, will obstruct much less filter area than the chain link fence example. In fact, air will flow around the tennis ball all the way to the point of contact. It will take many more particles to obstruct the netting surface area than the chain link fence.
Donaldson Blue™ air filters are guaranteed to deliver twice the miles between change intervals over cellulose air filters for on-highway applications or customers receive a new filter at no charge.

Donaldson Blue™ Air Filters
With Nanofiber vs. Conventional Cellulose
Nanofibers have submicron diameters and small interfiber spaces, which result in more contaminant being captured on the surface of the media and lower restriction.
Red circles represent the diameter of a 2 micron and a 5 micron particle.
Cellulose fibers are larger than nanofibers, and have larger spaces between the fibers, causing contaminant to be held in the depth of the media and plug the airflow path; resulting in higher restriction and less capacity.

Are your slides leaking at Bella Terra, mine aren’t.

Do you have pictures of your coach?

Call Leon. He is waiting for your call.

Bus will not start, I am going back out now to re-connect my battery charger to the gen battery. after 3 hours last night, I tried the start switch at the gen, the eng starter would only bump

Oops,
I meant 200 🙂
Going 65mph, I averaged 1,600 rpm’s before the overhead. I now average 1,400 rpm’s going 65mph.

A call to Coburg and Leon for support is 2nd to none. I would think they could help with owner documentation and limited electrical drawings.

Glad you got it all sorted out Chuck.

It will make Nance really happy to learn that if a slide has a problem it is as simple as replacing a fuse. She needs all the info needed to convince a reluctant husband he owes her slides.

Jon, see page 17/28 on your link for some 60 month intervals.

Too long between letters! Typing real slow!
We made it home and all seems well with the batteries. Still have to deal with the inverters!
I am going to reset the offending inverter and see if the fault goes away.All in all a great trip. Still grinnin!
Thanks again!

You have likely a failed solenoid valve coil on the center solenoid valve on the manifold in the steer compartment. You can identify it by seeing 5 small red caps.
These are on an XL in the steer compartment located on the bulkhead to the rear of the coach. A snap ring will release the coil. It is likely any other coil can be used as a temporary substitute as long as the coil voltages are the same, but using another coil will disable part of the leveling system. The center coil controls the ride height or driving position.
If that does not fix the problem the diagnosis and solution can get complicated and possibly involve pneumatic valves.

Direct Tv…4 at home, 3 on bus…no problem.1
call and done. Geo.
