FYI – We haven’t sent out any Invoices yet, not to worry.

One thing that helps a lot is getting a basic understanding of how the coach system is set up, and specifically what is not working.
In your case when you say something is not working such as the lights are these 12 or 24V lights or 120V? Is the problem just lighting or is it all devices?
Typically when shore power is disconnected the 12 or 24V circuits draw directly from batteries and they are charged when the bus engine is running and have nothing to do with the inverter(s). How is your house system set up? How many inverters, batteries and do you have power at the batteries? If the batteries have power do you have power getting into the house such as past whole system circuit breakers?
Good answers need a lot of good information first otherwise everything is just a guess.

I have had an issue since I got the present coach with the driver’s side shaking so badly it is hard to see out of it. It is at Liberty in N Chicago now, and Bill is looking at fixes, but is not sure he can really do much. They did that Prevost repair involving Sikaflex around the motor about 2 years ago. That helped for a couple of months, but the shakes are now as bad as ever.
I will be very interested in how your experiment works out.

Keeping a spare tire means it is aging. And that is the problem because unless there is a steady demand it may age out and the question then becomes at whose expense?
If there was a steady demand the folks who are in the best position to fill that denmand are Michelin dealers. But guess what? They don’t think the demand justifies the expense.

As I mentioned, I was only peripherally involved with the heavy truck business so am not qualified from training or experience to comment on the 8V92 older vs newer generation or in comparison to other engines. I was a service rep at the time and dealt mostly with car and light truck issues and customers.
Sorry I can not give you more information, what I related was about the whole extent of my knowledge on that engine.

Here are my new digs. My stall is the one where the Coachmen is sticking out. The front is open but at least I can get it under roof. The opening faces Southwest so that’s good. This is what living in tall cotton looks like in Murphy, NC. -

A few accident pictures are posted on “this video could save your life” here on PC in the general discussion forum.

12v power source for a cigarette plug.

Going to Prevost for a chassis lube in Mira Loma on Monday.
I’ll ask them about it.
Thank you,Mark

My coach sits from the end of October until late April and rarely, if ever, gets started. I have no reason to do so. If I want to air it up, I have a compressor in the garage that works for that just fine. As long as the oil is clean when you park it, I can find no reason to start it periodically.

LMC Truck also has the lenses. I replaced all my lenses plus had a couple of bad screws, which they have in SS as well. All off a chevy pick-em-up cargo light.

It is my understanding that Synthetic oil may be beneficial but the usage according to hours does not change. If the generator calls for a change every 100 hours of use, it gets changed …Synthetic or not… This was discussed at the United Engines’ seminar in Oklahoma City some time ago…

Sid,
We left Houston on Tuesday, the 4th and traveled to a friend’s ranch in Abilene. On the 5th, we went West looking at oil wells and other disinteresting stuff until we finally arrived in Ruidoso….did not make the Roswell overnight stop … did not know there was an RV park there… we had our sights on Ruidoso and I run about 400 miles per day so we kept on going…
Sorry we missed meeting up… we were close….
We will make the trip again to the Ruidoso Motorcoach Ranch RV Park as soon as plans allow… You are in a very uniquely pretty part of the country. I am reading the book.”Killing the Rising Sun” and it was so fortunate and timely for me to see the areas in which the atomic bomb was being developed during WW II. It has given the book an unusual dimension for me…
