Where did you buy your Lifelines?

Wow… It looks to me like we’ve asked Jon so many questions we’ve picked him clean. Wasn’t there a song “The Dancing Queen”?

They have always been helpful anytime I have contacted them.
Hope your son is mending well Bill.

Thanks, I was afraid I couldn’t get it back in if I let it out. Remembered I had an extension cord so I only had to pull it out a couple feet. Still want to know about power source. BTW, the coach is an elegant lady.

Don’t know where fuse/breaker is, but if your is like my 2000 xlii if you can get a hold of end of cord an pull it will come out slowly if you pull on it manually. At least get through this day/night. Does not push back in well though – pushing on a rope . . .
Also if you have a Marinco adaptor or cord with a MArinco end, you can use an extension cord to connect to one of the ports in front of the drive axle. Have to change the selector switch in the left first bay.

Why the regulator burned up is a good question. Generator gets plenty of use, 4500 hrs. I will look up the trouble shooting diagram.
Thanks,

Miller switched us to PROGRESSIVE after Nationwide wouldn’t renew after our emissions testing damage. Got “agreed value appraisal” is $210K and our progressive premium is $68470 for one year. Geeze!! And yes coach is registered in our own names, NOT in an LLC or company. It’s registered in our home state of Colorado using our home address in Jim n Chris’s name But since we LIVE in Colorado and we have had insurance claims on our home and business roofs from May 8th 2017 baseball sized hail, miller got us AGV Progressive policy after Nationwide canceled us. Our agreed value for bus is $210,000 with Progressive has annual premium of $6,847

Leaking? Didn’t know there were any hydraulics in it.

Yeah Pres. We miss you and Betty. So far the weather has been mostly nice to us. You may have started an annual event here, having a real good time.
Miss you both.

What would happen if the DEF aged out? Would we get lower mileage, a CEL or wouldn’t we notice it?

Are these 1/4 inch NPT threads ?
1999 XLV X-6872, liberty #440 -
Yes, 1400 for the FX, Cord and Dipole antenna and 500 each for sensors. Some are having great success with the Dipole, others are not. A Repeater is in the works. For a fail safe installation until the Repeater is available, an external antenna is the answer.

I keep putting it off, but I should build a set of fittings. I replaced all the push in when I changed out my air bags and brake chambers, so except for those at the Norgrens and all the house fittings I am starting to get all compression.
I am sure each converter had their devices with air fittings so instead of buying a kit it might be better to see what fittings are used and lay in an inventory of them, plus buy a box or tray with dividers to keep them sorted out.
No matter who converted the coach it is a given that there are going to be hundreds of fittings that will need to be replaced with compression over time.

With a coach 20 years of age, one definite consideration would be the bushings throughout the front end. They may not all be in terrible condition but some will need replacing. You cannot replace some of them individually generally because the tools for replacement are not available. We had the bushings but even Prevost would not install them here in Houston. They simply replace the entire “arm”. On the ’98 coach I most recently owned, we tried and ended up replacing both sides of the upper and lower control arms. These are expensive yet the results dramatic.
After reading these reviews, I would encourage you to deal with a very reputable dealer who concentrates on Prevost conversions and who support this forum. Their knowledge is significant and their reputations exist based on their trustworthiness. They see coaches they will resell and those they wholesale out.
