Are the two thermostats easy to find? Get at? Replace?
I wonder how many people on the Forum know the Detroit or Volvo engines had two thermostats.

I dropped Satellite TV all together. Get local channels over the antenna and stream everything else. There has been a few chats about internet in the coach and why pay for internet and Satellite when you can get your programming from streaming and have tv on your time.

PowerTech has a service locator on their website which will show locations and their distance from your location.

A runaway with DDEC is almost unheard of. It was much more common on mechanical 2 strokes.

Yeah, if the plug on the shore end is 30A, then you can’t use an adapter as that plug is only rated for 30A…bummer. I’m in the process of making a 25ft 50A cable, myself, for this curb side connection. I’m using a Marinco 6364CRN connector with a Marinco 7715CRN cover on the bus end, 6/4 SOOW cable, and (probably) a Hubbell HBL9451C on the shore end.
FYI, if interested, Marinco is also sold under the ParkPower label, and you may find better deals by searching that.

don’t take my reclections to bank. I just remember the locations of u-joints not being correct. Seems to me the splined shaft could be put in two differant ways. I choose the wrong. I mark things now when I take apart. Was trying to point out you have been solving a problem in one direction of thought. Maybe think back what else could be.

Here is a Michelin 365 tire mounted correctly on rim. Check your tires showing this 1/4 inch appox completely around the rim.
Jon, has gone into great detail on this subject, along with tires rotating from the installed point.
Before going to a tire shop for shaving these $1000 tires this is an easy inspection.

You got me

Tom;
At this point I could live with slight vibration, it’s definitely more than slight since the new 365s have been installed.
Mark:
Great question, I think the vibration is there both under power and coasting but I will make sure to pay close attention to that during the next drive.
Fujimo:
The bridge joints/pot holes where the small ones you run into ever day on the interstates. It has been suggested the slight jar when running over a bridge joint or perhaps dip in the road is a better description is better than pot hole would jar or dislodge the beads that were inside the tire at that time causing a vibration until the beads found their happy spot again. As to the looking under the coach, I have had both JoSam’s and Prevost Winter Garden do a thorough inspection of the undercarriage/suspension. They found no irregularities.
Al:
More good stuff – I will do the load test in F & R as you suggested. I am thinking I should also leave the parking brake on along with your other suggested safety items of blocking the wheels and stepping on the brakes hard. I believe the engine will lift a little even with new mounts, what is considered lifting to much?

Hey Granvil, let me guess, a seafood run? Or better yet, X01..

Art, my son was there couple weeks ago with his club! He’s new at tracking but said that it is a blast, his buddy’s have been doing it for a while and are teaching him the ropes. The kid drives a Miata.
Good to know there is RV parking, will defiantly go next time to check it out, looks fun.

We currently tow a 2015 Jeep Cherokee 4wd. It is a dream to hook up compared to what we had been towing. There is should be enough room for a wheelchair, even with seats up.

Back in the olden days most Prevost conversions had propane. The early conversions were using Norcold or Dometic 3 way refrigerators, and since propane was a very cheap way to keep them cool the propane was also used for furnaces like the Suburban units.
When coaches started using house type refrigerators the use of propane ended.

I have to run a front MT plate plus I run a real GA flag.
