Hi Les,Very nice area and you sure built a beautiful place. I currently live in Murphy, NC in the mountain area of southwest NC. My plan is to either find a home/motorhome place or a place with an acre or more where I can build a garage. But I’m out for warm Florida winter weather for sure!
Plus living where you do puts me much too close to Jon! Coming over all the time to barrow a cup transmission fluid or after my recipe on Norgren Valve Stew!

Thanks everyone for the well wishes.
Have made a deposit on a 07 Dbl slide Marathon H3.
Hope to get it in a couple of weeks.

You do have one of the early ones. It wasn’t until the six speed became available that Prevost was able to use the Series 60 in 40 foot coaches. The combined length of the engine and 5 speed was too long for the 40 footers so only the 45s had the rear overhang required for that combination. The shorter 6 speed transmission was what it took along with a completely redesigned tax axle to get everything to fit the 40’s.

Harry, echoing what others have said, the Wash Wax All is great, but you need to get the grit off the bus first. Like you, I stored my bus for several years in a facility with no water. You don’t need much water to rinse the grit off the bus before using the Wash Wax All, so just fill up your water tank before you park and use your onboard supply. I have used a cheap pressure washer, but really a high pressure hoze nozzle like you would use to wash your driveway is all you need. You just need to get water up to the top, you don’t need high pressure. I never measured, but I’m sure it uses far less than 10 gallons of water.
The $199 starter kit for the Wash Wax All product is worth it just for the great extension mop you get with the kit.

What kind of discounts are you speaking of?

ETLC is East Tennessee Luxury Coach. You will find the advertisement under repair facilities on this forum. Jeff Rowe, who owns the place, is an expert on all things Prevost conversions, and is highly regarded by a lot of people. The series 60 is the Detroit Diesel engine succeding the old V-8 two-stroke engine. It is a six-cylinder four stroke diesel, and was used in Prevost conversions from the mid 90’s until Prevost switched to Volvo engines somewhere around 2013. Highly recommend you find a coach with the series 60, and you should be able to find one in your price range. Next time you have the chance, check out the heft of the Dutch Star entry door and compare it to the heft of a Prevost entry door. The difference is indicative of the difference in the sturdiness of the two motorhomes.

Thanks to all for the very prompt and informative replies. I got into the controller box, found 27+ volts at the batteries. Awning went out and in with the manual switch. I only let it go out a few inches lest something happen and it be stuck out away from home, we are leaving this site Sat AM. Will download the Zip Dee manual and study up on the operation before I take another shot at using it.
Maybe if we get in an unshaded spot with sunny days where we will be for a few days and really need it will take a couple brave pills and roll it out and see what happens. Maybe I’ll wait for Driggs where I can plead for volunteers to help roll it back in if it gets stuck.

I have had two steer tires show the same flat spot on the outside on the passenger side one on a 2012 H3 and one on a 2013 X3 both with about 10 K miles. The X3 actually had the side wall start to delaminate. In both cases Liberty Coach had them replaced so I had no involvement with Michelin. Both were installed at the factory when the coaches were built by Prevost. I would venture to say they had a bad run, I wish I had date codes.

So Jeff, how are you doing on the estimate?
If that isn’t hijacking a thread!

CC did a different take on OTR than your Prevost bus air. I have a dash air, galley and bedroom that I can individually run. Your setup is something like 100k btu, mine about 40k, your compressor is waaay larger and common. Mine, not so much…..

Hi Tom, That had to be a pain and I’m sorry for that. I went back in to delete them and found I could delete the text data and not the post so I left it alone. As I said earlier, I have no idea how it happened. The only thing I can think of is I made the post through my iPhone. That shouldn’t make a difference but is the only thing I can think of that may have flipped the magic twanger!
Again I apologize… You work with Jon and no one should be put through more!
