I just drive these things. I will never do a DOT brake check (unless maybe once just out of curiosity). I have been driving Prevost’s since 1999 (a 1988 for 20 years and now my 1998). I start up, air up, leave. I don’t do my own chassis service as I have no home base with any sort of correct equipment. I do what minor repairs I can (air leaks within reach, etc.) but that’s about all I can do. I depend upon local service facilities to fix what’s broke. I can’t imagine why you would think Prevost would need help from a tour bus company to fix the bus the designed and built but I am very happy to be in their hands.
Once they get me back on the road I will continue to do as I have in the past. It has served me well and made me a good living for the last 20+ years.

My bus has a decal showing 268 gallon capacity.
Royal added the 60 gal auxiliary tank. I wanted to get to a 10 cent cheaper fuel but decided it was too big a risk as the gauge was on empty. Added 238 gal at the stop for fuel. At 90 % that is 241 gallons. I was close to empty if only able to add 238 gal. The tank also spit back at me when it cut off.

Marshall,
Following your replacement as our condensation drainage pipes have deteriorated to the point of needing repair also. You may know the difference in PVC and CPVC and are calling the drain lines common PVC. There is a difference, and color can be one identified difference. Thinking the PVC has discolored to a yellowish color is a common misconception, as CPVC is normally a yellowish or light grey color depending on the specific pipe. Also CPVC that is yellowish is not the same sizing as PVC, yellowish is sized the same as Copper tubing not National pipe sizing and may require a different primer and sealant. Attached, if I can get it to work, is a link to a good reference for these pipes.
Hope this helps. Good luck.

Put HOT water in a bucket, dip your cleaning pole in the hot water. Soak the glass from one side to the other. Now go back and do it again. Most of the bugs will come off pretty easily. (First time across with the hot water softens them, second time across takes them off).
HOT water is the key. Obviously don’t do this if the windshield is really cold.
With the hot water you don’t remove any glass treatments that may be on the glass I.E. Rain-X etcChuck
