There ae inverters now that have 2 AC inputs and handle the switching. You can also set different input restrictions for each input. These eliminate the need for a transfer switch. Victron is one of several.

This has been discussed a number of times. Apparently the plating process that Crapco (excuse me … Ramco) uses is deficient.
I just Googled “correct procedures for chroming aluminum” and the first topic is: https://arlingtonplating.com/substrates-specifications/plating-on-aluminum/
Follow the link for “polish and link” in the article. To do it right, its a multi-step process.
From what others have posted, new mirrors from Ramco eventually have the same peeling problems.
Other options might be powder coating which gives you a variety of color. Anodizing might be another option.
Has anyone thought about copper plating and some kind of clear coat over the copper?

Thank you. It’s been a good ride.

Can’t wait to find out who went to the ‘dark side’!

I have a bottle of Woodford Reserve. Enjoyable.

I got my FE ticket in the 727. Used a Western airplane in SLC. Never flew it on the line though. However, I did get to plumb on the DC8/DC10/L1011.

Thanks Jon! The coach started fine until I disconnected the TPS cable fitting behind the bumper, cleaned and re-connected. I then tried to start it and it won’t even turn over. Not sure if the two things are associated though.

The pendant I have is like the hanging controls I had on a bridge crane in one of my factories. The one on the bus has buttons for front and rear slides, in or out.
It makes manual control of the slides easy, and beats putting a socket wrench on the end of the motor to move the slide. It obviously will not work if the motor is inop, but if the controller will not respond, manually retract the pins or even if they are retracted turn the white screw head as needed to disable them. Then release pressure on the slide seal, then use the pendant to open or close the slide.

Roy, it would be hard to generalize because a coach by one converter with light weight materials and heavy weights such as generator and water tank immediately ahead of the drive axle is more likely to have less steer weight than a conversion using solid heavy materials like all granite flooring and the generator and or batteries behind the steer may be greatly in excess of the Prevost weight limits.
To further muddy the waters the owners can fill a bay with lighter weight stuff like lawn chairs or small folding tables and charcoal grille, while other owners may have a full dressed Harley and ramps in a bay or cartons of textbooks filling the entire bay. I know of both.
To give you some numbers regarding my XLII I am just under my steer axle limit of 18,000, a little over my drive at 22,400, and under my tag limit at 13,000.
At a rally that involved weighing by the state police an XLII of the same year have drive and tag weights near mine, but a steer axle about 2,000# over the 18,000 limit.

Could be the transformer in the box that supply’s the power to the bulb and color wheel Motor. Parts for the supervision 2000 are very difficult to find if even possible. If you can’t repair it I will be interested in purchasing it from you if your interested.

Ron, I didn’t replace it. I forgot all about it until after everything was already back together. Fortunately, the old one works fine.

Yes the trigger must be a 12v signal if so then just run a continuous 12v power source to the trigger behind the unit and the image should be on as long as the bus is on

Excellent job, Gentlemen!! Shows what happens when you do things right.
