Perhaps pressure from the convertors would be taken a bit more seriously? Or even some large fleet operators? Anyone got their Rolodexes handy?

When you are headed to a area post if you can.. Several home-builder full time bus nuts manage campgrounds seasonal.–saome corps of engineer. They are always glad to have bus company and will tell you if you can fit in– and know for sure.. not guessing! I know WhiteEagle does it regular and several others.. FWIW Bob A list might be good. Seceret handshake?

Good idea, I’ll get a really dark pair of sunglasses.

Any AC source can be ducted any way you want. It’s just a matter of moving air across an evaporator coil. So, why isn’t Prevost able to duct Prevost OTR air in a coach with slides?
Speculation on my part. The industry as pretty much settled on roof top AC units for parked and over the road. Unlike dash air, dash air can’t really go away, and it shouldn’t. It’s necessary to meet defrosting requirements. Even though as a percentage of the cost of a new coach, Prevost air isn’t much, as a single line item I think it was north of $20K as an option.

Okie has raised a good point and I know I have been in the same type of situation and the end result has been similar, right down to the point where I was right, but actually very wrong.
The example Okie gives is typical in that it can apply to on ramps, lane reductions due to construction or manhy other cases where the traffic that has the right of way but the offender ignores who is right and when both parties will not yield the end result can be ugly.
With me, combine a day of driving and being tired along with a stupid driver who feels entitled to my space on the highway and the combination is going to end up bad. As drivers we get worn down by ignorant drivers who do not know how to merge, or who do not want to be behind the bus, and at some point we just throw away our courteous attitude and make no effort to compensate.
I get sick of drivers who force their way in and then do not accelerate, or worse, decide to hit the brakes. I get tired of drivers who pass and pull in too close. I get pissed at drivers who just have to pass, and then cut across my front bumper to get off at the exit. I hate the drivers that hang on my left rear so I cannot change lanes to pass slow traffic, especially when that slow traffic causes me to lose all momentum. I can go on, but I know everyone on this forum has exactly the same attitude I have, which is everyone needs to get off our highways.
It would be real easy to be critical of Okie and suggest he amend his ways, but the truth is I have been there, done that and have the tee shirt. And I wish I could promise to never do stuff like that again, but that ain’t going to happen unless I find a way to not let the idiots get to me.

Looks like a very good time. I just hope all those ZipDee products decide to cooperate when it is time to leave…
