Jeff and Sandy,
Also glad to hear that it is not broken.
But, if it does happen and you are caught in the mountains, I would use the transmission selector religiously to keep my speed down by downshifting.
We are also thinking of going to Mountain Falls this summer and I would definitely want my retarder working.
Safe travels,
Mark

That is for the trans oil temperature.

This Big Rig recommended campground appears to be closer to downtown:
TRAVELER’S WORLD RV RESORT http://www.sunresorts.com SAN ANTONIO AREA, Texas
Close proximity to downtown with public bus stop. Spaces in the 80 foot range – #84, 85, 90 thru 95 and 97 thru 104. FF: #89, 91, 93, 97, 98 & 103. Wi-Fi. Paved streets. Gravel sites.
Directions If on I-35, Exit #150B and head east three miles on Military Hwy to Roosevelt. If on I-37 (Note: 13’ 6” clearance), Exit #135 and head west on Military Hwy 2-2/3 miles to Roosevelt. In both cases, head north on Roosevelt 1-1/3 miles to the park on the left (just after the light at Southcross).Address Phone Email -
Definitely the KOA in Fountain just S. of Colorado Springs. If you want to be closer to Pikes Peak or Garden of the Gods, there is a nice RV park called Garden of the Gods RV Resort. All the others close to that area are really to be avoided. Well, maybe Foot of the Rockies RV Resort is OK as well but it’s hilly getting in and out but the sites are OK.

Purchased the Magne Shades in August and installed myself; not too difficult but you need two people. The folks will do an install at their shop and are wonderful to work with.
The most trouble for me was the upper corner of the windshield due to space to get up in there to place the magnet.

The President’s campground is the BOMB and worth every penny. However, the $250/night should be incorrect. We just paid $175 this year and it was only that high due to making our reservation so late. Also, 1 dump is included at no charge for 3 days or more (maybe 2 for a week?). The next best is the dry camp site right there beside the President’s followed by those that are beside the balloon museum (dry camp as well). If you can, book the President’s campground. We had reservation #1 a number of years ago and, as would be expected, we were not able to make it. We sold it to some lucky guy for 1/2 price. This year was the first time in about 5 years that we have been able to enjoy this amazing event.

The direct replacement for the Freedom 25 is a Magnum. A whole lot of those replacements have taken place over the years.
The reason conventional RVs have one inverter is they spend all their money on glitz and bling and the systems are not important to them.

Ron… Unlikely if system was low it wouldn’t restart, based on prior known problem with switch.
Before I would put a manifold on system….Check discharged cold air measured in discharge air duct with A/C shaft dial gauge.
Ambient temp configured to discharge after 5-10 run time mins at dash.

I wonder if the coach had passengers on board, and if they would have stayed on board if they saw how the bridge sagged.

I had 2003 CC XL2 the gen battery located in thc center of the bays. I had to remove a panel (drivers side 2nd bay back if i remember correctly) to get to it- same location that allows the air to flow for cooling the Generatior

i see no aluminum modules, just breakers and some black modules. I guess this confirms it is not a multiplex coach ? I could not find where to get confirmation on the Prevost Car site.

My thought is when on inverter power why convert DC to AC and back to DC For the pump. I would stick with the power you have there.

Very good point, Jon. Kind of like people screaming about diesel going up a dollar and saying that is going to keep them home and make them sell their RV or bus. A dollar difference in fuel when you drive 6000 miles a year is nothing compared to the rest of our bus costs.
I love low fuel prices as good as anyone and I drive a whole lot more than 6000 miles a year. But paying the extra is a whole lot better than shuffling my family from hotel to hotel or sleeping in Sunday School rooms in churches every week.

i don’t think I have a multiplex coach but not certain.
I have replaced all the cargo lights with the new style LEDs as well as the interior ceiling lights. These made such a huge difference that I was interested in changing the docking lights also. If the others worked would these be different?

I found them at Heavy Duty Bus Parts Inc 936-344-9957 for much less $$, pt# 07-38900.
But, on my bus they are NOT plug and play. The 2 cast aluminum frames that surround the bulbs need to be modified so as to make them work, the electrical connection is different too. This project hasn’t floated too the top of my list yet, and the old halogens are still working.
