    I got this shot of the Admin guys in the Scenic Cruiser at Seminar #1. Shows the interior a bit and could fall into Peters post on his new sun shade in case anyone needs photo ideas.

    I know of several tow bars that have been tested with regards to pulling dead weight as in a tow vehicle that was not put in neutral….they have all done a good job of pulling them many times without the driver knowing the wheels are not spinning……..Just saying….

    Hey, I needed new shoes to keep up with Jeff, he’s like the Energizer Bunny.

    Total coaches at the show were 53 I think. As of about noon today, I think there were 8 sold. Probably be more deals ahead after the show.

    It was my first time there and I’m glad I was part of it, if you’re into Prevost, it’s the place to be.

    Darcy all the windshields I have put in have always been clear and we added the black out tint on the inside I like it down lower on the front about level with the bottom of the cabinets it stays a lot cooler inside also you can’t see out that part of the window anyways so I just black it out. Prevost does it the same way on the XL ll they put the black out on just before they put it in . The last ones we did at jeffs and we did it the same way

    Our vintage was painted by Prevost at the factory in Sainte Claire, though they no longer paint coaches. As we toured the factory in June 2016, our guide did not say when they stopped. But he said they were using PPG products when ours was done. I checked my paint swatches, and they are in fact PPG. I believe Imron was a DuPont product.

    Boys,

    Your IT guys says it’s the client because they do not want to change their underlying platform. If a platform blames IE, then there is a problem between the platform and IE. Your IT guy needs to work with Microsoft to find a solution.

    Basically, what I’m saying is,yes,could be exposed with IE, but the platform interaction with IE is the issue.

    Reese –

    We have a 2003 Marathon 40 ft XLII with no slides, and we started two of our grandchildren out traveling in the summer of 2015. The grandson had just turned 1 and the granddaughter 2 1/2. We would strap their car seats down on the couch with the seat belts and that is where they would be while we were traveling. We applied the same rules as in a car – everyone is buckled up appropriately for safety. The only time that they would be out of their seats while the coach was moving was for going to the potty or a diaper change. They had their toys and books, and were already adept at taking naps in their car seats. I learned to be a flight attendant real fast! That year, the granddaughter slept on the couch and we setup the pack n’ play in the walkway next to the couch for the grandson. A booster seat and a slimline high chair made meals a snap. Of course there was plenty of time for running around outside.

    This last summer, 2016, we had the same two grandchildren now 2 and 3 1/2. With the previous year’s training, they knew the drill. We traveled from Florida to above Seattle, Washington. This year’s sleeping arrangement was different as the 2 year old grandson had reached the inquisitive age, following in Jon’s steps of ‘zeroing’ out the coach. Donald would sleep with him in the bedroom, and I would sleep with our granddaughter on the fold-out couch. One night Donald had gone out to check the power connections after the grandson had been put in bed and I was making the couch into a bed. All of a sudden, the lights started going on and off. I went outside to see what Donald was doing and found that he was talking to a neighbor. It hit me – the light control panel in the bedroom! Sure enough, he was having fun watching the indicator lights going on and off, oblivious to what was happening in the rest of the coach! Needless to say, he was never left alone in the bed unless he was past out!

    Traveling with the grandchildren is a wonderful experience. We visited many national monuments and historic sites along the way. What we found was the most important item when traveling with the grandchildren is finding stops that have playgrounds! While we would rate sites on the quality of the hook-ups and view, the children would rate it on the quality of the play area or the lack thereof. We were always well equipt with Legos, Play Doh, and picture books, and would take advantage of picnic tables and a mat on the grass for a play area. I should also mention that we also had along two chihuahuas and an African Grey parrot!

    Our daughter says now when they are traveling with the children and she says ‘Look, there goes a motorhome like Grandma’s and Grandpa’s’ our granddaughter corrects her by saying, ‘No, they have a coach!’

    Have fun traveling in your Prevost with your grandchildren!

    June

    It is likely the same relay number will work. Prevost has been superb at maintaining consistency is wire, relay and CB numbers regardless of the vintage of coach.
