How did you install inner tire monitors the instructions say you have to use the special tool to install.
My Pressure Pro sensors I use three 3/4 inch coupling on the end os a piece of 3/4 inch pipe to install and remove as the sensors fit snuggly into the 3/4 coupling.

I looked a ton on Busforsale when buying my Prevost and they have some great specialty coaches with great prices. Also their inspection reports seemed very detailed. And a reputable company. Never looked in person as I found the coach for me at Staley in Nashville and couldn’t be happier with their service.

Always sad to lose good people

Correct steer bags are Prevost# 630259.
Yrs ago, when I was changing my airbags, Prevost tried to sell me # 630260, but members here helped convince me otherwise. No regrets.

Is that by design or due to the undersized aux compressor?

Wow looks like a clear endorsement of a Prevost and their structural integrity. Assuming seatbelts were not in use for anyone except maybe driver.

We built a 40’x60′ metal bus barn about 4 years ago. Here are a few more suggestions:
– Have at least 2′ of roof overhang on each side (3′ if you can), especially if you are in a heavy snow area. Big roofs catch a lot of rain (and blowing/sliding snow). You want it away from your building, not pooling or laying against your walls/slab.
– Prior to pouring the slab, strategically lay out several extra pieces of conduit, and pex water lines from one side of the barn to the other (beneath the slab surface) for future use, you’ll be happy you did.
– If you will be heating the building, consider radiant floor heat. Pex is cheap.
– Build it bigger than you think you’ll need.

Possibly I am too trusting of my generator – that feeds directly into transfer switch.
The cord reel was also feeding directly to the transfer switch so I removed those feed wires and put them into a Watchdog Surge Protector (Similar to Progressive) then the output from the Surge Protector goes into the transfer switch. This way I I am hardwired and no risk of theft or me forgeting to use it or leave behind.
Watchdog has an app for phones / tablets with bluetooth connectivity so you can monitor volts and amps. If overvoltage such as water heater, AC, cooktop, dryer the Surge cuts power usually before breaker trips so you don’t have to go outside.

Yes I agree on the difficulty on some of the bays particularly the second bay on the drivers side where you have your inverters (Marathons). The back side of both struts was pretty hard to get to, I used a 24 inch flat head to pry them off, and it will be a little difficult to pop them on because you have limited leverage. But all the other bays were pretty straight forward.

Thanks for all the great advice! I agree subsurface prep will be very important. Here’s a barn I plan on building, but 2 feet taller:

I probably will go with a roll up door. I would love to have the ability to drive through the barn, but we don’t have the space. Our lot is ~14,000 square feet. I have checked with local zoning person, and we are good on the size of the barn (30×48).
Our house is 170 years old, an Italianate Victorian that we recently moved into, and it was important to me to have a garage that fit in with the style of the house. While I am not going to build a Victorian barn, I figured a barn of that era would have been built with timber frames. It’s going to cost a bit more than a steel building, but longer term I think it will provide more value to a property.

There should be three stickers on the passenger side of the valve cover. One of them will have the information you want along with other info. I have a 1999 Wanderlodge with the Series 60 Detroit. Hoping to move up next spring.

I’m finishing up a metal building went huge 24w x 16h x 80l. 16 x 14 doors at each end so I can pull through with trailer or toad.
Concrete is 4″ 4,000 psi with fiber reinforcement this was contractor suggestion when I said it is for a 50,000 pound coach. We have had the coach parked on the concrete for a week so far all is good.

134a. It’s cheap compared to R22. If only the rest of the bus took r134a instead of R22. Only $250ish for 30lb r134a? Easy to get too.

I hope you read about it here! One of our members is responsible for them putting together an entire replacement unit as well.

I am not joking around nor am I laughing, just yawning. When and if the time comes, the California DMV will let you know with plenty of notice, Until then no need to fret. Keep on Bussin!
