Looks exactly like what happened to 365 we rotated from steer…don’t do it anymore. Geo.

We have put it on our calendar, but we have some things going with friends, so it’s a bit early for us to committ. I am planning to stop by Jeff to have the brake chambers replaced on the way.

I would imagine most folks go up the Alaska Hwy. Has anyone gone the Cassier Hwy ? I worked in the Yukon for three years and have been up and down it many times in my vehicle, several types of motocycles. It is a spectacular drive but very remote and not much for services.

The rally is lots of fun and well organized, so how does it work ?
PC members are treated like royalty. Buses were grouped together it what was referred to as Prevost Row. Your pre registered so pick up your vehicle pass and your neck band ID.
Neck ID….100% access any place on the property and pre registered for auction buying. If you see something you like just raise your hand at the auction hanger. Your ID number is on this neck ID.
Veh pass, see below….. Applied to your tow car windshield with special codeing allows access anywhere in and out of grounds. Your tow car is parked next to your bus and not separated in a special lot.
Additional… personal scooter rental. There is so much to see that these 2 passenger battery operated scooters make sense.
Pretty much in the center of the event are probably a dozen food tents for lunch Breakfast and dinner are catered included in your fee. All of our meals and happy hour were at the air conditioned Cessna bldg, pictured above.
Happy hour included wine, bottle beer and special brewed beers 2 different each night, hard liquor and finger food. Dinners were hot meals, breaded fish, shrimp, BBQ with all the extras. Last, cigar bar being rolled on site. Entertainment feature after dinner.
FYI…Parliament and Featherlite each wrote a deal on one of there displayed buses. WOW.
There’s a Rolls Royce in the pics above and one PC member is the new owner. Those things happen at car auctions. Maybe he’ll give us some details ?
Yours truly took a ride in a Army Huey helicopter. Cost was $75 per person, 10 persons in ship, about 15-20 minute ride. What a thrill.. been about 40 years. Brings back a lot of memories.

FYI. About a year ago, the price from Prevost was $175. for the idler. Another test is the IR thermometer.

It won’t help Jake, they both do it as I have learned.

Our coach has analog gauges. The oil temp gauge is apparently the trans temp gauge (which is about the only thing on our Liberty conversion that makes little to no sense to me, Frank and Kurt … why don’t you label the gauge what it is!). I would like to know engine oil temp, trans fluid temp, and rear end temp. We will pull a trailer and I would just like the comfort of knowing those temps.
Jon is right about fixating on the gauges and not driving the bus, any pilot will back that up. But being able to see out of norm temps on engine, trans, and rear end would provide me a level of comfort and confidence that I think we should have in our coaches.
Beyond that it would be nice to know outside air temp, temp of the engine battery bay, temp of the house battery bay, and temp of the water bay. But that is icing on the cake. Out of norm temp should tell us that there is a problem before something catastrophic happens.
-
Good idea Grizz, listen to Jon whine while drinking his beer. He keeps the bay fridge full of foamy stuff for just such an occasion.

Those jets do clog shut and getting to them is labor intensive. If you have a maceraor pump on your bus, hose water can be back flowed into the maceraor outlet when the black tank is empty. The flow helps to sweep the bottom of the tank and empty out thru the 3″ normal drain. Water flows backwards easily thru the pump. Of course it is NOT on. Better than nothing.
-
Sounds like Tom has an excuse to buy a new bus…
-
Adding collent should not be needed on a regular basic ,, you need to find were it is going.

Understand, Reagan. Never have got out of any Prevost shop without overruns on verbal price. I don’t think getting it on paper would help. Always hated bids or firm contracts in my little fab company also. Just like a ball park figure on job so I know weather to put wife out on street corner and for how long!
