BA,
Don’t you need to start making smoke? You only have five and a half days to get to Alabama from KC.

As was mentioned, others we travel with complain of our brake lights being stuck on. Also our tow folly brakes are activated by brake light power. Coach Lights on, tow dolly brakes are on, even if we have them set at lightest setting.

Thanks Gerald, your thoughts are reassuring … I’m going to keep an eye on it and keep track of how often it happens.

Level Low works as it should. The coach goes to ride height as it should from what I can see.
If I manually lower the coach, then put the Level Low switch in Ride position, start the engine and let it build aux air, it will come to ride height with no problem. I can lower and raise the front and each rear corners with no problem.
I have an Aux system leak that makes the tag dump rather soon after the key is in off position, but as the engine is restarted, it will came back up to ride height.

Yep, I’m embarrassed to say how old the ones were that I replaced…………..let’s just say they were well beyond 5 years…….

It’s R76 on ours too.

Report on my airbags. Completed installation on drive and tag axles (did the fronts last year) and for the last 48 hours the bus has remained at the same height and level with no “leans”. Special thanks to Jon and his advice on jacks and screws, worked great. 40′ bus was jacked up in the 35′ concrete driveway in front of the house for the past week and no sign of the code enforcement people, but I had a story all ready, something about trying to retrieve kittens hiding in the undercarriage. God bless my patient and kind neighbors.

Nylon DOT air brake line. Should be able to pick it up at NAPA. Likely 1/4 inch OD but just have them match it.

As a follow-up, my reset button popped again, so I’m replacing my thermostat with a Camco 08304 Commercial Thermostat, which Marathon uses on their new Atwood Water Heater’s.
The only difference between this new Camco and my old “Therm-O-Disc” unit is the temperature setting.
My old thermostat was set at 140 degrees, in the middle of the dial, with a max temperature of 170 degrees.
This new Camco thermostat is set in the middle at 150 degrees, with a max temperature of 180 degrees, probably because it’s for commercial use.
Anyone else setting their water heater thermostat at 150 degrees?

Pull the relay, no problem.

Despite these seemigly well informed answers, it still looks like a variable “thing-a-ma-jig” to me.
Someone fudged and looked it up….

Tim: Won’t that tool you provided the link to mark up the aluminum wheels? Look like the tool has an arm that rests on the wheel.

It appears that it is an American Carriage coach.
With no converter manuals in the bus, wiring tables, diagrams etc. and no way to get them from the converter since they have been out of business since 2008, I am quite leary about jumping in….unless there is a way to get this documentation and I do not know about it…..
Any advice ?

H.J.
I realize XL/XLII and H3 have their own fans. Initally I wanted an XL/XLII partially due to the fact I believed the view out of an H3 would be too restrictive for the driver due to the lower seating position. I was also worried about the height of the H3. Once we fell in love with this coach, and putting some 22,000 miles on it, I found neither concern was an issue. We also like the added storage in the basement. I realize Al’s coach is beyond you budget, but I just want to add that is one of the rare Prevosts you will find for sale that will probably need very little to nothing in terms of things needing to be fixed. I’ve seen Al’s extensive list of things he has had done to that coach, and having gone through the same process (still working on it), I would not hesitate recommending Al’s coach.
