All the best!

Don’t know what model Allison you have but in my 755CR 1991 XL, Prevost Fort Worth put Transynd in mine.

Thanks for all input…
Checked Horse Camoground, no pull thru and low hanging trees/branches on most lots, anyway no availability for when we would arrive.
Cabella’s sounds good, lots of island in the parking lot, satellite views are old, during construction time frame.
There is also a Walmart one exit prior to Cabella’s, called, no issues for overnight(not a 24 hrs store) but satellite shows lots of trucks parked there.
Will look further for a campground off I75, really don’t want to drive more than 5 hours in that afternoon, doing this to avoid Atlanta traffic in the afternoon next day. Need to get thru Atlanta between 12 – 2pm…last year we lost 2 hours there, accidents thru downtown and 285 during afternoon traffic.
If no alternatives, Cabella’s will be the stop for the night.
Thanks again!

Glenn,
I’ll probably be forced to stay in the Austin area to get the work done. The wife and I are on a business trip and we’re needing to return to Lubbock by Thursday/Friday. Good to know another Prevost owner lives so close by!

Owned the coach for less than a year, records don’t show shock replacement. So shock age is unknown. Definitely something to consider.

Adding a required control number to the TSD card is 100% protection as long as you never tell anyone else that number.
The ultimate protection is to not have a discount card, but my savings the other day on 133 gallons was $66 so I’ll now accept the miniscule risk associated with the card that is control number protected.

Once I used it as it seems a number of us do, I close it. but if the generator runs with it open who am I to argue.

There is a guy I know that says to:
A) buy a 30 pounder locally from a going out of business HVAC owner advertising on craigslist. Meet them in a golds gym parking lot at around noon. Make sure it’s still sealed. Look around to see if the “Freon police” have the place staked out 🙂 If not? giv’em the cash, like say $200.
or
B) buy it off Ebay – tell the seller your a reseller(but it will cost more). -
Bill,
Which infrared grill do you have? We have a Texas Sizzler by Golden Blount. It was their ‘portable’, and they don’t make it any more. We love the grill, but it is really heavy to move around. I wonder if you have something lighter?
Thanks!

Truk,
Glad to hear that you are suffering. Looks a little windy too. Thanks for taking one for the team. Are you just about out of dues money??

Had to educate myself on Google …

This is just an observation and might influence some decisions.
The oil does serve a purpose and it is primarily a means of controlling alternator temperature. The flowing oil is pulling heat from the alternator as loads create heat.
Joel has a Liberty and it is highly unlikely his air cooled 50DN is subject to heavy continuous loading. Less load, less heat.
But on coaches without OTR, and on which A/C units are being operated on inverters as opposed to a generator when the coach is in motion the alternator is under load. The loading is less on a 24V coach, but tends to be substantial on a 12V coach. Just a single A/C draws a running current of 130 amps on 12V and 65 amps on 24. That does not include all other electrical loads ranging from other inverted loads to battery charging to headlights, and other power requirements.
As with almost everything on our coaches heat is the enemy and the life of a lot of our components and fluids is shortened as heat rises.

While the use of super singles may be appealing, if I had a coach with all 120 or 315 tires there isn’t a snowball’s chance in hell that I would ever add another size to the mix.
There have been countless posts from folks whose coaches have 365 and 315 tires and when 365 fails the difficulty in getting back on the road ranges from inconvenient to seemingly everlasting. At least by maintaining a single size tire on the coach with 8.25 or 90 wheels a tire failure does not take on the epic proportions encountered when wheels are very wide or the tire size is not typical of a dealer’s inventory.
It was enough of a pain when we had 120 or 315 because when they were first introduced the common sizes used by most trucks was 110 or 295.
