I’m sure A was just accessory air, you would need two air hook ups for air brakes. You’d normally have two glad hand connections, one to release the parking brake and the other applies air pressure for the service brakes.
The 6-pin connector should have your electric trailer brake power. A 7-pin connector would also have reverse lights if you wanted to convert it.

This is instructional in the sense it highlights the grief and expense often associated with batteries that go bad, or are going bad. I don’t know if these were new defective batteries or aging batteries at the end of life, but from the description of the problem and what was involved in chasing it down it becomes another example of how we are dependent on good strong batteries for both the house and chassis.

I had my coach aligned at Prevost Nashville a month ago. Indeed, the alignment was about $700. However, before doing the alignment, Prevost first goes through a checklist of other functions in the underbelly to make sure the coach is sound. They found a bunch of 12 year old parts that were worn and needed replacing including my brakes. They showed me each part, explained what was wrong, and requested approval before they did the work. I gladly paid the $4,500 for my $700 alignment knowing I have a much safer coach now.

New windshield Prevost part#291429 $2300 Hey Jeff since the new rubber is a little larger that old because of different manufacture of rubber why don’t I just sand the metal down just a little? the old windshield had black polyurethane around the end of the glass I had to remove while cleaning so a little off the metal if I had to replace one again I would not have to sand new glass??
I watched a few U-Tube videos on installing windshields and they would hit windshield with their hands a few times and it seated in, but they weren’t hitting nearly as hard as this guy he hurt his hand, did not seam rite to me. If the fit is too tight between window and metal the rubber is going roll over like it’s doing.

In the bay with the water heater. See if 110v is getting past the relay.

If your water heaters are plumbed in to the engine cooling system for hot water heated from engine coolant (My Marathon was), it is possible that the engine coolant heated the water in the heaters beyond the heaters max thermostat setting and tripped the water heater electrical thermostat(s) off. If you remove the small access panel on the side of the water heater(s), you will see a reset button which can be pushed.

NAPA sells mud flaps …. I’am sure everyone has seen them with the yellow brand symbol,
Find a NAPA flap that your new piece can be cut out without any yellow. NAPA stores have many flaps in size and thickness, depending on there stocking inventory.
Remove same as flap on other side so you have a pattern.
Look over the inventory of flaps. Pick out a piece appox same thickness.
Material can be cut with a metal scissor, fine tooth saw, sharp thick knife …goes pretty slow but workable.
After a couple of bus travels on rain highways …match will be perfect.

* I’ve also seen mud flaps at Tractor Supply stores.

Dan,
Others may disgree but here is my opinion. First, let’s disregard the current issue of some 365 tires with a splitting ot separation problem between the tread and sidewall.
When you install the 365 tires, jumping through all the hoops required to make the switch you are going to trade some harshness for noise. The bumps that feel harsh now as you go over cracks, expansion joints and bad pavement are going to be loud. I don’t know why but my 315 equipped previous bus went over those road conditions quietly compared to the noise lever the 365 tires make.
Then the bigger issue is not clearances or rubbing but dealing with replacement tires if you have an issue on the road.
First, you will have to replace a 365 with a tire that is available. A 365 wheel is beyond the size listed as acceptable for a 315, but so far if a 365 tire has to be replaced and none are available while traveling the acceptable short term solution has been to take a good 365 off the tag and mount a 315 on the 365 wheel that was on the steer. You won’t be able to do that unless you do steers and tags. You won’t be able to mount a 315 wheel on the steer because you say those are stud piloted.
But even if you do resolve the issue, mount 4 365 tires you still have an overloaded front end unless it is rated for the weight. That means while you solve a tire issue you remain with an issue on air bags, brakes, bearings, etc.
