Chuck and others, I only know on my Liberty if my current draw exceeds 50 there is no 50 amp protection other than the 50 amp CB at the shore power. I cannot speak to other conversions, but my point is simple that I was surprised when an electrician replaced a 50 amp breaker with a 60 amp knowing my power cord had #6 wires rated for up to , but not exceeding 50 amps. When I am on generator I have 70 amp breakers.
I manage my power having been in the business of supplying shore power pedestals not only under the Jamestown Advanced Products brand, but other brands we private labeled such as for Siemens and Murray among others. I know as long as I remain at 40 amps per leg or below the breaker will not likely trip and that an inrush, such as a recycling A/C unit will not trip the breaker. My reason for posting is those not managing power and find an RV park putting in larger breakers than allowed can have potential shore power cord damage or worse a fire.

I wonder if the compressor is worn just enough that it cant quite reach cut out pressure. Can you try turning the pressure down a bit and see if it shuts off?

Thanks Chad! I will give them a call tomorrow.

Where are you going
-
Thanks for all the suggestions. Why does this inevitably happen on a trip? I’d like just one trip where I’m not dealing with a problem with this coach. Anyway, water shutoff valve to the toilet is now also leaking, and we got a surprise overflow on to the floor and a completely full black tank. This would not be so bad if we had sewer hookup this week, but we don’t.

I tow a 2020 F150 4×4. Not sure about the 2022. On mine, you push the start button (without pushing the brake pedal) to get into accessory power mode. Put the transmission in neutral, then depress the brake pedal and turn the 4 wheel drive selector knob 5 times fully clockwise then back counter clock wise. It will come up in the cluster that its in neutral tow mode, then depress the start button (without pressing the brake) to turn off the truck. Leave the trans in neutral and get out. easy peasy

2022 prep to tow.
Please share your prep to tow. The instructions are not clear on towing as to possibility of damaging the transmission.

Luc,
On my Liberty the California Air Tools CAT-1P1060S fits in the space in front of the front axle where the original compressor was located. The handle portion of the frame does need to be cut off.

I’m not quite ready for a new thread, but I wanted to provide an update. I somehow managed to go further down the rabbit hole by completely rebuilding the rear electrical junction above the engine. Have you ever tried to put a plate of cooked spaghetti back in the box? I’m very happy with the way it turned out though. I just hope the bus starts. I’m still in the middle of some other projects back there, so we’ll have to wait to see how good my wire labeling was.
Then (and this was a real treat) in order to dismantle the rearmost part of the interior, I had to completely remove the engine air box to get to screws that were installed through the firewall into the interior framing above the engine. That meant that the coolant reservoir and the engine oil tank also had to come out. Might as well soda blast and paint all of that. New stainless steel screws throughout, as well as new foam between the metal pieces. I just about pulled the engine and tranny to keep refreshing the engine compartment, but then I remembered that I don’t really know what I’m doing. That was enough to refocus my attention!
I thought I’d replace my Delco voltage regulator while I had easier access. The new unit required a slight wiring change on the 50DN, so I of course broke a field wire internally while loosening a stuck nut. You may have seen my posts where I’m considering deleting the 50DN. Well, today I finally pulled it and cracked it open to see what the damage was. It’s a lot less intimidating than I expected, so I think I’ll do a minor overhaul and throw it back in for now.
Once the engine is running again, I’m going to start on the interior and the electrical. I’ll create a new thread then. Thanks again for your comments over the last year and a half.

Those three CB’s 19, 20, 21 were 12.1. Since they are the CB’s for the DDEC my expectation is that those are 12 volt circuits. The voltage meter on the shows around 25 volts.

Thanks everyone for the advice.

Despite the owner’s answers, delam questions may not be a deal breaker. Assuming he has 2 coaches he is not unaware of the issue unless he is out of touch with the XLII history.
Good coaches get sold quickly and if this coach is as good as described you and the seller can work jointly to put this potential issue out of the way.
I’ll repeat some advice I have provided numerous times. Assuming it is a coach you like and want to buy and you and the seller have agreed on price the next step is a pre-purchase inspection. Where you live or where the coach is will determine where the coach gets inspected. But there is one certainty. Start with a delam inspection by Prevost first. It is possible it has none, it has a little, or it has a whole lot. The repair can cost nothing, a little or $50,000 or more. Once you possess the knowledge of what you are dealing with you both can focus on how to complete the sale.
In a perfect world you can have the Florida shop that did the most repairs on delam do the inspection. But it needs to be done and if anyone attempts to claim it is not a big deal they are lying. The repairs are required because delam can allow moisture to enter the coach and that can lead to mold and mildew which is a safety issue as well as a huge cost to remediate. A full repair involves the addition of strips under the skin to prevent moisture from ever becoming an issue, and a partial repair may just involve loosening some p-panels and re-adhering them as required.

Opoids are bad I know but I have used them successfully in the past short term. I just took a Perocet so if this goes wonky, sorry!
Interestingly enough, here in CA, someone, State, Hospital, Doctor, someone required that when I got the opoid prescription that I also purchase Narcan in case of an overdose. Not covered by insurance, of course.
Surgery was Friday and went well. ALL never pain is gone but quite a bit of muscle pain in the shoulder are due to the position on the table during the 3 hour surgery. He fused C3-6 so now it’s just a waiting game until I can get some semblance of normalcy to return. 2-3 months in a hard collar and no driving (riding OK).
I got home yesterday and and out walking a few times a day so overall I think it’s going to be a good experience.
Thanks again to all!

Thanks for the surgery info. My bother is a Dr. and had the surgery as well. Too many parachute jumps as a Navy Seal/Army Special Forces. He said the same basic thing. This fusion is C4-6 so very high on the spine. The good news is that everyone says the extreme nerve pain will be gone the same day but, as you mentioned, muscle pain and pain from the movement of throat and windpipe along with back and shoulder muscles as the body is placed in a very uncomfortable position for the 3+ hour operation. I am scared but excited as I can’t have a good iife with this level of pain! Thanks to everyone and I will post on the other side of the operation!

Don,
We just purchased a 1996 Liberty 40 XL #336. It has a California Air Tools CAT-1P1060S compressor that is not working. The specs on it state 0.6hp vs the 1hp of the MP100LF you installed, is 0.6hp adequate? Did the original compressor have a tank? Would I be better off with the MP100LF? How did you connect the MP100LF? Sorry for all the questions, this is our first Prevost and it is definitely a different animal than the Winnebago Journey we have had for the last few years!
Thank you, Clay
