    If an alignment was done, it needs to be rechecked. They can and will do a printout and when all values are well within the specified range the coach is going to track straight and true.

    But keep in mind there are a lot of factors that will make a coach wander. Dana is right about ride height having an effect, but if on a perfectly level surface the bottom of the bay doors are approximately 11″ above the ground the height adjustment is OK. The crown of the highway, winds, passing traffic, and even a dragging brake can make a bus wander.

    Under ordinary conditions we never have to constantly adjust the steering wheel, but occasionally we have to apply slight left or right pressure to maintain the lane.

    The best information on the use of the Pro Driver is going to be found in the owner or operator’s manual. If you do not have one you can pull it up on the Prevost Car site, under the parts and service section for technical manuals.

    So Jon,

    Why does the placard on the side of the engine specify no load limit is 2,250, and the manual give 2,500 as the redline?

    TSD will require the use of a PIN on all new cards going forward and will use the last 4 of your social.

    For current card holders like us, if you want a PIN, e-mail Joy and she’ll make it happen.

    Jon would have posted this, but he’s asleep already, it is after 8:00.

    So dry camping has become a problem? We lug around these enormous generators that can power a small town, and we can carry hundreds of gallons of water, and hold onto that same water after we have soiled it. Dry camping for a few days during a educational confab playing with our bus’s is a piece of cake for the capabilities of our coaches. I see no problem.

    I agree with Jon 100% on this (quick get the smelling salts, Jon just passed out)

    I don’t know about Houston, but Jacksonville can get that bus rolling like you are driving on rails with their 3 axle alignment. Best $600 you will ever spend.

    I have 315s and pressures are F=120 D=85 T=95

    I just bought from dealer on Amazon, they only require the license or assurance

    😉 that you are going to have a licensed service do the work.

    I claimed my service allowed me to provide the Freon, to save money.

    Way back when Prevost used a pair of 60 amp equalizers for the chassis because it was a 12 and 24 volt chassis. But I cannot imagine a 12 volt house system would need an equalizer.

    Please explain or post a photo of the house Vanners

    Drove the Absarokee Loop, Beartooth Highway, and Chief Joseph Scenic Highway about two weeks ago. None are suitable for the bus, but all are well worth the time. It may not look like it, but you can get a pretty good ‘Americano’ at the Fishtail General Store.

    Les brings up a good point, unfortunately some of the ones I’ve had would require a complete disassemble of the bay as well as the condenser itself just to be able to clean it. It’s no wonder they don’t get cleaned.

    My brother trucker forgets the ducks are from Oregon, you were there too.

    It’s good for you swampers to face some adversity from more than a New York blue hair on the Parkway, keeps you sharp.
