Straight through and you can use the HOV lane.

Mine had the same voltage drop when at operating temp. It was the first sign of the beginning of the end for my voltage regulator. After I replaced it voltages remained stable.

Mine started leaking down over a period of months a few years ago. I could never find any coolant on any surface. Many months later, the level was low again.
I pulled the radiator and took it to a good shop. The first thing he asked was if I used the fill cap built into the radiator and I said no. The was no way to reach the built-in fill cap. Mine has a pressurized cap around in front of the generator.
He advised that the leak was probably coming from the filler neck and he suggested removing it. He removed that fill neck and then could find no leak anywhere else.
I reinstalled the radiator and have not lost a drop of coolant since.
This is my guess on why I could never see any coolant. It was a very small leak for sure and I have huge fans pulling air through that radiator. I think the fans were removing all the moisture with the air and it was vaporized and blowing out underneath the bus.

Jon:
I did not check the end caps of the Norgens, just the fittings where the air hoses connect. Back under the bus for that. Also did not check the straps on the tanks, more time under the bus.
Art:
Just had my front bags replaced but the rest are older, will check as best as I can for now. More time under the bus
Guess you can say this covid-19 has really thrown me under the bus. (Just trying to put a lighter moment in a serious situation).

If you exert enough force on metal it gives. By giving I mean it flexes. If the force is sufficient the metal “yields” meaning it bends or changes shape permanently.
You cannot bang your fan mount hard enough against the stops because you are not putting anywhere near the force an operating fan provides, but consider all the parts that move or have the potential to move due to flexing and you can see it is likely possible for a fan blade or clutch hub can come close to or contact the radiator.
Obviously the best way to prevent that is to never allow belts to fail or get too old.
One thing to consider also is the engine will rock sideways as you apply torque or shut it down. You have to take that motion into consideration also when checking clearances. My engine on shutdown rocks the coach a little but I really have no way to measure how much motion that is.

It’s funny I never noticed the belt was that bad

I applied Temp-Coat 101 to my roof with a roller 3 yrs ago. No peeling. It’s holding up well. My bus is always parked under cover when at home. I get up on the roof in my bare feet a scrub the heck out of it once a yr with soap(dawn dish washing soap mixed w/zip car wash) and a soft brittle brush. It cost me about $500 when I purchased the stuff. I bought 10 gals(2 five gal pales) and had/have about 3 gals leftover. I love the results. No more snap crackle and pop and I almost never have to run all three cruisairs when at a race track.

M,
The base H shell height is 12ft 5 at center roof . 12 ft 3 in at roof edge.this height is beyond cockpit area. Then you add roof mounted awnings. Typical; Girards awning boxes are around 10 inches. Add roof top a/c unit, height variable, fantastic fans. Etc. to error on caution, allow 14 ft high door for a storage garage

Give Taylor tours a call they did mine and did a great job

Fred: I read the same thing. I’ll be in his neighborhood next week and confirm.
While Tom is likely welcome at ETLC for service, I’m expecting he’ll park in back (where you usually see the Newells parked), or at least be asked to.

Please don’t confuse me with someone who gives a shit.
The only sport that might get my attention would be an armed conflict between the Democrats and Republicans if they were locked in a warehouse and were using real bullets.
At this point if would be great entertainment and if it ended in a tie with all out of commission it would benefit us all.

An XL is a 40 foot rivet coach.
Prevost switched from rivet coaches (XLs and XLVs) to the non-rivet coaches (XIIs) in about 2000. I don’t think Prevost made a 40’ XII (but maybe they did).
The “non-rivet” coaches had their stainless steel side panels held on with an adhesive process that in too many cases was subject to delamination. The fix is expensive. Anyone buying an XII that hasn’t had the Prevost delamination fix and repaint should have the coach inspected by Prevost.
I think I have this right.

There is a groove in that plate and a round rubber “gasket” fits in the groove. Easy fix.
Elreg for parts

Jeff and I have had some discussion about it and we’re going to be at ETLC next week for a done work and a new Lifeline AGM battery install.
I was hoping to find someone who had gone down the Magnum AGS upgrade in a Liberty 24 volt coach with an A-B system and a similar vintage.

We hope everyone has a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.
