I did a little checking and Auto Zone has a super coupon for a free bottle.
Personally I have had better luck with the NAPA brand, but you can’t beat the price.
As long as free advice is being offered, don’t forget to change the air in your tires periodically. It will make a large difference in the ride and handling.

uh oh… is this compatible with LED blinkers?? I fear I used to much since they don’t produce as much heat as standard bulbs

Ron,
I won’t reveal your address, but if you want to see if other members are near you you might wish to provide a general location and see if you can hook up with them. They are going to be your best source for learning about a Prevost and what is involved in ownership.
Bill is one of many members whose coach is near the vintage you may be considering and I know there are others located less than a day from you. ETLC is a days drive and while Jeff and his folks likely cannot spend time with you it is probable there will be a number of owners on his site that might be willing to share information and show you their coaches.
One thing you are going to learn is we who own Prevost coaches are biased towards them for a variety of reasons. The best evidence of why we are biased is the fact that a lot of our members are driving coaches 20 to 30 years old and those coaches are still very nice, reliable, and have decades more life left in them. That cannot be said of conventional motor homes. The key is our coaches are all based on a commercial chassis that with routine maintenance is easily going to deliver a million miles or more. The systems are robust, and the converters all built high quality conversions.

My XL has the inverters nd the hoouse batts in the spare tire well. Granted I have not rolled down the bumper just after driving in the rain. But I have been in the bay enough to know it stays clean. I don’t see water spots or other indications of water even with a 6″x6″ screened opening in the bottom center near the front edge of the bay for air flow. Remeber the airflow is such that the under side of the bus is at a lower pressure so air is pushed out the bottom of the screen, not drawn in with the road dirt.
I don’t have any forced air in the bay so it does stay warm down there especially when parked in my unconditioned bus barn in July. The fan in my inverters runs often. I lost a fan a couple of years ago and my inverter faulted. If that is what you find, check with inverter service an advertiser on this site. Good service.
Tom is the must see guy for Limelines and if you need to pick them up, one of his distribution points is in Lumberton, NC not far from you. He arranged for me me to pick up rather than having to deal with a freight truck and no fork lift for receiving them.

By the time the stuff is fixed in the back it will be time to fix what’s going to break in the front. I would back in! Sorry Harry I couldn’t resist.

Will, my CC is an 02 with a Hurricane system instead of Webasto so it my not be the same, but my plumbing schematic shows two 3/4 ” gate valves in bay 5 drivers side for a 45′ coach. I would also call Country Coach/Winnebago. They still have some CC Prevost techs. Good luck.

What’s wrong?

Easy fix like Jeff said, mine was just held in place with Silicone.

Diane,
I have been very happy with the Waste Master system. The only issue I might see for you is transitioning to the large Thetford connection under the floor of your Liberty.

You can find them. I trolled eBay about a year ago and finally found a used one for $100. But a friend just bought a “knock off” on Craigslist for $25. The guy selling it didn’t know what it was!

Roy,
At the very least do not drive on that tire unless if is vital. Advise anyone who works on your coach if you ran it at low pressure to not air it up, but to have it carefully inspected by a trained technician. Running a tire on low pressure with a 20% or greater loss of pressure is cause to remove it from service. If it was on a drive axle and you ran it low on pressure two tires may have been damaged, the one run on low pressure, and the one that carried more weight than the pressure was able to handle due to the low pressure in the other tire.
I am amazed the man who did the service call had the balls to air up the tire unless you just lost pressure while parked.

Good job… I’ve done the same thing, if you isolate the systems and use shop air, you can find them.
As for aux air, I stopped driving myself nuts over leaks, mine will hold up for a couple days, that’s now good enough for me, I quit worrying about it. My belt bellows now hold air indefinitely thanks to a new check valve, thanks for the motivation BA…

any idea what is wrong? Just overhauled a year ago and new tailpipe

Good news Joanne, get him fixed up, we need you at Bella Terra in April…

The guys at the Invertrer Service Center are long time advertisers that have been invited to make a presentation at our seminars. They really do know their stuff and should be on everyone’s speed dial, not only for help with issues, but because they sell inverters, equalizers, and other associated devices we all use.
We are very happy they are not only supporting our site, but because of the fact they are great to deal with. We recommend them highly.
