sorry for your problem. i may have had a similar problem with our 2000 country coach. on our way south to florida on interstate 95 a couple of years ago i noticed a loss in air pressure when i used my brakes in traffic. the pressure built up quickly at first when i let off the brakes, but as we got further the drop in pressure got worse. i pulled over to inspect and could hear an air leak in the engine compartment but could not locate the leak. i limped the bus to florida and set up an appointment with a shop. when the tech came out i showed him what i knew and he listened a bit and went and got an air leak headset and found that the main airline coming from the compressor to the main air tank was leaking. they called prevost and were told that the line was about $1,000.00 but was on backorder and was not expected for 10 months! we were not going to sit in the parking lot for 10 months (we live full time in the bus). after some help from the shop, we found a hose shop in daytona (1 hour away) that said if we brought a piece of hose and the 2 ends they could make me a new hose. we took the ends and hose piece in our pick-up to the shop and while we waited (45 minutes) they found the correct new ends and suitable hose to make the 10’ +/- high pressure, high temperature stainless covered replacement. price for the hose was around $400.00. after we got back to the shop they installed the new hose and we were fixed. if i remember correctly, their bill was for only 2 hours and we we on our way. no more leaks. good luck!

thanks, there is always something else that6 either needs fixing or needs modification to make it ours.

replaced our 24 year old fridge with a new one. hard to find exact size to fit cabinet, but got one. took out side window due to valence on windshield was in the way. prevost parts quoted me almost $900.00 plus crating and shipping for side glass but found their supplier in nj and got 2 for $950.00 delivered. i am also in the middle of a 2500 watt solar panel install with 2 new inverters and lithium batteries.

we stopped at Marathon Florida for an estimate in April. we realized that nothing gets done right away, so we told them that we would drop the coach off when we return in the fall, and they could have all winter to complete the job, if needed. The technician came out, spent over an hour in our bus, took dimensions, discussed finishes, and he said he had all the information he needed to get us an estimate. He said he would send it to us shortly. This was not just a cheap inexpensive job to be done. we wanted both of our front chairs rebuilt and recovered, wanted the office cabinet enlarged, wanted the carpet in the front changed over to wood, wanted a flatscreen TV lift installed in the newly modified office desk, and the old TV area in the dash overhead modified with a door for additional storage. we have now waited almost 3 months with no response. we were hoping now that there has been some changes in personnel, that we would get better service than we have in the past, but I guess it’s just the same poor service as it always was. i am sure if we wanted to trade up to a new coach we would get better service.
