Here a picture I took this morning. Nothing difficult or unusual about the install (that I can remember).

Here’s a thread I did 2015 (no issues since) when I installed new front and rear upper cap clearance lights:

This is where I buy Cab Clearance Lights and Replacement Amber Lenses.

Looking for Clearance lights for an XL, they are 4″ x 2″ 12 VDC. Strange they are very hard to find. i have had trouble with the chinese ones, the UV destroys the plastic in less than a year.

Bill, That is what I suggested on the other site but he said that was not it.

If the lock is moving (the thump), is it possible your air lock is engaged? If so, some coaches will unlock by turning off the 24V (and or 12V) disconnect in the engine compartment. If not you can bleed off the air from the system and the air lock will disengage.

still new to Prevost, lots to learn. Is removing the radiator the only way to access the fan motor, belt, and fan?

We’ve had our Prevost since May of 2014; 9+ years.

We’ve had AAA RV since 2005 when I bought the Suburban and enclosed trailer for the race car. I’ve had the Suburban on the roll back and the trailer on the stinger at least three times that I can recall … all at no cost to me except for a tip to the tow truck guy. We continue to have AAA RV for the cars, Suburban, and trailer.

I couldn’t start the coach once early on (late 2014) … dead chassis batteries. Called AAA, told them I needed 24 volts, they came out, took one look, called “the head man”, and said they wouldn’t touch it. Come to find out one of the six month old Interstate Group 31’s had a dead cell. Jumping the bus would have been only a temporary solution. Battery replaced under warranty a week later.

I dismissed Good Sam as a viable service. I’m leery of Camping World and hence Good Sam’s ability to address a Prevost.

I thought about CoachNet back in 2014 to about 2017 as I saw pretty good comments on the PC Forum. But procrastinated. So now I’ve saved ten years of CoachNet fees, so I’m kinda working on their money as my Dad would say.

I’ve come to the conclusion that CoachNet (or any towing insurance policy) is only as good as the customer service rep that takes your call, their network of towing companies, and the willingness of Coachnet or AAA RV to part with their money. I think I’ve seen the reports about using CoachNet lately mention a declining quality of service. Any network is likely going to try to find the least costly provider … who may or may not be able to get the job done with a Prevost safely.

This past weekend I had the occasion to visit with the owner of a multi-location towing company that has 20 pieces of equipment up to and including 50 and 60 ton rotators. I asked their opinion of CoachNet and was told years back they were OK to work with, but after an apparent ownership change, Coachnet has become more and more difficult to work with. If I understand this towing company’s current policy, they require credit card payment from any third party prior to sending the truck out.

I asked what they charge by the mile for a bus and was told they do coaches by the hour … $350 an hour. So there’s a rule of thumb I’ll use going forward.

So … we continue to self-insure. Have never needed towing, keeping fingers crossed.

Thanks for the help Prevost did a DOT inspection the day I bought the coach but not sure what that entails other than a roadworthy test (was commercial coach).

I was expecting to find a maintenance log book and checklist with consumables and such but didn’t see anything.

I’m hoping someone has a maintenance schedule and a list of PNs for the filters and such so I can easily save it and record everything so I’ll have some maintenance log book as I plan on keeping this rig a while and want to take care of it.

I’m a DIYer of my Prevost for almost 10 yrs and have extensive files/logbooks of part suppliers, part numbers, etc for older Prevost like mine, not newer Prevost like yours, I’m sorry I can’t help.

LOL, In this day and age, it is nearly impossible to find a product or service that will have the collective “Approved” stamp.

These are the two capacitors I had with the AKA8515EXA .

[Mike, 92 Country Coach]

I am told almost everything in my coach is obsolete. The next guy that says that is going to get a punch in the nose!

[Mike, 92 Country Coach]

The first time I drained, flushed, and refilled my genny coolant I got an airlock and the watchdog shut it down automatically when it was starting to get hot.

Tecumseh capacitor TCK150-07 = 370v & 25 microfad for the compressor Jeff mentioned before
