Mark as you well know, I’m an ATHLETE,(-: . Seriously, I just crawled out the window feet first, got a foot hold on the rear fender skirts and hopped down. Eventually we grabbed the folding ladder out of the bay. Doug made a suggestion later about stopping at a Walmart and getting a rope fire escape ladder, haven’t done that yet, but my next bus will have one.

I would bet you’re looking at a total loss Dan, that may be a good thing if you have agreed value.

Harry,
I do not think your jake will change gears. On my 87 vintage coach I had to manually downshift but it had DDEC I so your later ECM may be different but I don’t think so.

Can you fill the left rear (?) manually when in ‘level low’?

I had a simular problem after a “tight” turn over curbing and the rear airbag lost all air and would not re-inflate.
The problem was the “RIde Height” linkage had pushed up past “Center” and stayed in that position.
This dumped all the air in that bag , the fix was to remove the end of the linkage , pull it down past center and reconnect the linkage. This allowed air to inflate the air bag.
Hopefully yours will be this simple.

Dana,
The last 15 years We have spliced in Ky and Tn. Mostly telephone new build and maintenance , Emergengy restorations , road moves and a lot of Stimulus work there for a while. Approx 1500 new remotes and about 2000 miles of cable. They also wore us out on cell towers for 2-3 years. With a few FTTH jobs thrown in. Have done some power company backbone jobs and some of the dreaded OPGW. Has since slowed down in this area to very small jobs and a lot of MOP’s and emergency call outs.
Not opposed to travel once in a while. Should You need a little help up that way. Our youngest Daughter graduated college last year and I am trying to get Our coach ready to roll. Have 8 bucket and 4 splicing trailers. And one underground truck. Currently only use 2 rigs. I need to put them back to work or sell some of them. Shoot Me an email sometime.Safe travels,

I do get that CLS on the pro driver, I hit the info button and it goes off.
The check engine light is on and off, mostly on, I check level and it has never been low in the site glass.
I have a bad sensor, and a small leak.
You are the second guy to tell me use the stop leak so I will pick up some at tmro morning fill-up.
I will copy and paste the info you gave me to my Prevost notes for future reference as always.
Thanks again

Mike,
Thanks, we took I-64 thru town and it was not bad. Made it with no issues. Traffic was heavy in spots but got a lot thinner as we got closwr to the bridge.

Thanks for all the help. I have an appointment with the shop tomorrow and will let you know what he finds.

In my bus the valve shut offs are located directly on top
of the water heater itself. I turned mine off because the hot water gets too hot
using the engine coolant loop. Hope this helps.

Jon,
Some of the benefits of Valid seals. One, increase in slide width over Prevost , Valid calls them super slides. I have not measured but at least 6 inch increase width +/-, over Prevost slides.
I’ll get some photo’s showing the Valid control panel.
In response to your post…. Valid vacuums air out of each slide before moving. Check valves hold seal tight unless the actual seal has a failure.
Valid Slides are new to me but having gone through Prevost locking pin 101 school, replacement of Prevost salon seal at $4000 in my XL-II, Valid seems to have found a better way.

I just want to follow up. I received a call back from Country Coach in Oregon. I was told they no longer have the stainless rivets and the size was simply a guess amongst several different sizes (I did talk with the parts guy who was there even when my Prevost was built). I will be in Nashville in a few weeks and will just stop by Prevost and see if they can put one in. I hate to stop for one rivet, but I’m not sure of any other plan. Thanks for the replies.
