Is there such a bus configuration of OTR, and Roof Airs. How much bay space does OTR take up.
My old 93 has Prevost OTR air (5 ton carrier compressor) and 3 roof airs (40 ft). The OTR takes up a half length bay. The Evaporator on one side and condenser on the other. These are not full width of the bus since the fuel tank sits in the middle between the two bays. The storage space given up is not that great.
I don’t have basement nor cruise air.
When the OTR air is out as is currently the case (compressor head leak per Jeff) then I have to run the run the generator to run the roof airs while traveling. The roof airs are not powered thru the inverter.
Rather than investing in a new compressor, I can either buy diesel to run the generator or install a new inverter and run the front roof air via the separate 12V alternator and house batteries. A third alternative would be to convert the condenser bay to an inverter bay and use the 24 volts from the 50 DN alternator (currently driving the condenser blower) to supply power to more than one roof air. I need to give those later two methods some more thought. I expect the later is a lot more work to implement.
We loved the OTR air but it’s expensive to maintain in a 22 year old coach.

Depending on the number of people interested we should be able to reserve as many as we can in a single loop… I think we could be as close as we were in OKC. I think that have done rallies this year with 50 – 60 coaches… but you are correct they wouldn’t be all on one street…

I think you have been more help to us than us to you! Thanks for your willingness to always look out for others!

Tom that is wonderful, wish I were there but I don’t see any wheels or awnings on those horses. They would ride smother and keep you out of the sun.
In fact, I don’t see you on one of them, oh, you must be in the Ranger riding ahead.
Beautiful country.

Prob be a good subject. Ron Walker -Davey have very nice rigs that I know of. Doing it Rite. Like poster said loading-weight transfer-hitch/tounge angle all things that need to be considered. Don’t let a trailer flip your bus or push you thru a stop light/school bus. Extreme? only has to happen once.

Thanks for the response. I appreciate it.

I found that site too, Andre, and several others. The red Baldwin B227 is the one Jon helped me put on last year. Since this Fram filter is on the list I presume it is a match. It looks the same, fit the same, and didn’t leak. Perhaps when I change them again, possibly in a month if I use the generator on this next trip, I will go with the NAPA 1334, which is what I thought I was going to use, but I got the wrong one and didn’t want to drive across town again.
So what’s wrong with Fram? They seem to stay in business….
For a point of interest, here is a before and after of the air filter:

Karl I have gone a number of different routes depending on stops along the way. 77 through Charlett NC can be real busy and than you have a mountain to climb before 81. I never travel 95 north if DC. I have gone 95,17 to 66 and than 81. This year I took 95,288 just south of Richmond to 64 ,81,84,90,495 than 95. I like 288 better than 17. Less lights. Best fuel price was VA 95 exit 4 in Skippers at Loves. Rick

Somewhere earlier in this thread – someone asked about the crestron in a 2002 CC- I had on 2003 CC with no crestron – it had a small hand held Pronto remote for window shades, windows, audio, video but no lights or door openers. Never a problem that hot batteries in the remote didn’t fix.
Glass Dash: I loved the glass Dash on the CC. I could see it day or night- unlike the Prevost Factory supplied cluster with poor lighting and small numbers. Not for my old eyes. Never had a problem with the Glass Dash.
