This sounds like a case where you Did Not get what you paid for! That’s really unusual for the Prevost product. Cracked panels should not be something you have to deal with just because you choose to use the bus in colder areas. It sounds like a manufacturers defect and something the owners should not be paying to fix.

i had an interesting experience with ours. We have a small safe under the bed, just large enough for one or maybe 2 stacks of bundled 100’s. We had 1 key only and wanted at least 1 or 2 spare keys. Easier said than done.
the original key looks like one of those keys you may find in a medival castle. It is large and is cut on 2 sides.
I checked with a number of very experienced locksmiths but they could not even try because nobody would have a blank nor a cutter which could cut 2 sided keys.
Eventually, I located the manufacturer and they did happily send me a couple of blanks. Then it took another few weeks to find a locksmith. This time, per recommendation, in Germany, where they do still use keys a little similar to my safe key.
it took 2 locksmiths to cut a spare that would work. Anyway, now I do have 3 spare keys.
The safe, however, is still empty.
Cheers,
Ronald

I believe Marathon on some of their conversions also had three behnd the bumper.
It varies with the converter, but I am not aware of any Cruise Air installations that did not have some behind the bumper.

Jack: FYI, I have upgraded to twin 3500 watt Outbacks and 6 8D’s and I am not a ‘pole to pole’ RV but my compt IS ventilated with cool side air and I did stay at a Holiday Inn Express last night.

I agree, I have had three. Psyches from parliament one a blue bird, one a Royale coach, one a Parliament. As far as Lachlan side electrical systems go Ben is the very best. Now building a Newell I can truly appreciate his set ups and know how.

Thanks Jon and Bob. I’ll definitely check those things out when I get back to the bus. I’m down in Texas now and the buses in GA. I spent an hour on the phone with Bruce at Vulcan yesterday. Enjoyed my chat with him and learned a lot. Glad to have a converter that is so available.
I didn’t have any luck finding manuals no schemeatics on the Prevost site. It kept saying no results found. Luckily I have all of the original manuals that came with the bus new. Not sure how detailed they are on this stuff.

Thanks for the tips. Would love to see the link for the pictures and video – sounds like a great adventure.

Robert, we have an 2002 XLII . Our generator is a kubota 20KW. It also has an EZ start EPS system on it. I am continuing to build my confidence with the gen set. I know you guys run these things forever and days on end, but I am stil relcutant to jst let it run and tend to baby it. It has between 8 & 20,000 hours on it depending on which hour meter you beieve (in or out). it runs fine and no issues. We did blow squirrel cage motor but have had it replaced – that sapped some confidence when it blew with a big puff of smoke and then buzzed like an alarm until I shut it down. No oil leaks, no issues. I know you guys run tehse things for days on end, but I am still relucant to do that. When we are in it overnight, I have all the things in the world I really care about in the coach with me (wife and kids) and I still worry about issues while sleeping. Should I sop worrying and just run it or do you have other advice?
