Steve Bennett is one of the good guys…bought our Marathon from him 2.5 yrs ago!
Ask to see his 1992 Marathon….unbelievable!! -
Please let us know how that works, and if it will properly flush the Headhunter without the need for an additional accumulator tank.

Are you talking OTA overnthe road air? the antenna is fixed and does not move, Those cover plates have 5 little holes in them that go through to the wires so something could plug into it same pattern on white box, Just walked out and found controller with plug that matches, Is this for antenna? I will most likely up date and get rid of this old technology is this a good idea dumping this device?

Are there any Pros/Cons as far as buying a black or a white one? I’m talking about the color of the dome on the Rayzar?
Good post by the way Truk!

All I know is when I got my new tires put on I happened to notice once of the coaches was sitting on its rims. Now that the ED has shown there might be a pattern to what is going on I am thinking ETLC may be a pyramid scheme.
Is it possible ETLC is using parts from earlier customer coaches left in their care to repair coaches brought in at a later date? I seem to recall the guys in the shop saying something like having to get components from a shop called Midnight Auto Parts.
But then again knowing a lot of the characters that hang around that place it may turn out this whole thing might be more newsworthy than we realize. We just might be onto the biggest chop shop in history.

Buddy:
I can’t imagine what things are like at Jeff Rowe’s East Tennesse Luxury Coach and RV Resort with both The Godfather and The Ayatollah there. I’d keep a low profile and don’t get in anybody’s way!

Wow! Harry has the Sliver series 8V92 and not the inferior Bronze version.
Some of us have been a little tough on Harry over his coach so maybe this isn’t a good time to ask … but I’ve been wondering …OK more than just wondering … really, really curious … just how old the tires on his coach are. I’m really curious what the date codes are, if they are all the same manufacturer, and if they are all the same model tires. I’d ask Harry about the tires, but I’m concerned he’d think I was piling the questions on him. Maybe this will come out later. So I’m not going to ask him now.

I appreciate the input provided by all and want to provide feedback of what I found to date. The goon news is that I do not have any issue in my primary or secondary system. I called Prevost and had one of their Technicians give me a quick education on the air system to verify I was on he right troubleshooting path. I learned that the air system is designed to maintain balance across all three tanks when everything is functioning normally. the protection valve on acc was operating as designed (closed at ~65psi & reopened at 80psi) to prevent further loss to the prime and secondary supply. To validate, I aired up all to 125psi and then dumped the acc tank. Acc went to 0 and primary and secondary held at 125 for a week now. I then bleed out air in primary & secondary by pumping brake until it dropped to 50 psi. Started up coach to air up. Primary and secondary quickly started to build up and once they hit 80 psi, the protection valve opened and Acc came up to pressure.
So end result is the leak is only in the Acc system. Found one in the ram operating the backup camera light pod. Still another small leak somewhere else to find so I continue the hunt, but a big relief that nothing is preventing me from safely getting on the road.
Thanks again for all the quick responses and help

Bob, I turned on the electric hot water heaters. Carole took a shower and said there was plenty of hot water to suit her. The hot water tanks have a loop from the engine that heats the domestic water while in transit. The Atwood tanks also have the standard electric element to heat the domestic water while hooked up toshore power or on generator. The generator has no connection at all with the engine coolant system. The Webasto and the Heat Exchangers do. This morning the only dripping outside is from the Black/Grey water bay, fourth one back on drivers side. I have not removed the covering panel over the hot water heaters but that is where I am begining to focus in as being one point of the problem.

Here’s what I used: http://www.homedepot.com/p/Reflectix-48-in-x-25-ft-Double-Reflective-Insulation-BP48025/100052556
Rocky, use the stuff for the windshields and ds-side windows and maybe you won’t need to re-do the blinds? 5 mins in or out. Stores under the bed.

We have been on the receiving end of “bus age discrimination”. I agree on two points above. I’m against sending a coach photo begging entry, but let these organizations advertise. Getting the fallout from forum members criticism maybe the fastest way a resort changes their policy. In the “Aitstream” world mere mentioning the brand regardless of age gains you entry to most any campground. Everyone knows what an airstream is, but there are those in the world who don’t know what a Prevost is. To some, when you say bus conversion, they immediately conjure up a old school bus with a bed

I agree with Glen that devise (the one to the right is the coolant module for the DECC) could have gone hot and stopped working and is now bad or just stopped working while hot if you are lucky. The one to the left is for the AC clutch.
HJ you have me confused your pictures show 4 chasiss batteries but you say you only have two. Are you thinking of two batteries in the a forward bay which would be used for the house 12 functions. Stop fooling around and check out the batteries. If you don’t have a 24 volt charger, disconnect the “series” battery cable that connects the two 12v “parallel” battery systems that make it a 24v total system. Then connect your positive charger cable to the positive battery terminial and the negative cable the negative terminial and charge away. Then do that to the other two parallel battieries. Then reconnect the cables. Just because batteries are 2 years old really doesn’t mean much, batteries loose a very volts a month on their own if not recharged. If left on the wrong type of charger they can be ruined also.
I notice that the Batteries are NAPA so they should be willing to help you out.
I had start issues earlier this year and it turned out to be the “front/rear” start switch. It would start in the rear position, key off. took the switch apart and the one post inside was no longer able to make contact.
Had start issues once before and it had to do with a draw that was on the chassis batts that should have been hooked up to the Coach batts. Drew the batteries down within 4 days of camping.
PC members is it posssible to have a low voltage draw off batteries causing hi amps to burn up the solonoid.
HJ looking at the photos you were hours away of having (fire) no bus to worry about.
HJ we have Orphan buses, off the top of my head I think you have #21, I have #25. Most of the guys on this forum are running around in newer coaches, but most have had earlier buses like ours and those guys know what they are talking about. What Jon said about tech’s learning off your dime is true, not only in the RV world but even at Prevost/detriot shops. Help on older Prevost buses are to find these days.
Looking at my wiring diagram that solenoid only switches “on” the solenoid physically on the starter to alllow direct battery current to the starter.
