Thanks, Bryan.
Nothing too strenuous at 7000 feet, just hiked down Walnut canyon (185 feet down steps) and part of the Bright Angel trail in the Canyon! I’ll look at the Webasto later–no need for heat here in Vegas! My aux compressor is shut off from the coach with a valve. I open it up if the coach has been sitting to tighten the engine belts. Don’t know if opening the valve would prevent the coach from sagging, but even if it did, it would be too noisy for our guests. I shut it off at night while in Flagstaff. -
Yes Jon has a face more oriented towards radio… Or smoke signals! -
I would think that coach would have a surge guard built in and that could be what is the issue…please verify if that is the case…

Where bouts you at in Vegas. We are here until the 31st.

Free at last! Free at Last!!!
Thanks Diane :o)

Thank you Jon and Tom for the opportunity to participate and learn. This website has proven to be such a wealth of knowledge. Almost as good as going to your seminar.

I admit , I have lifted . But I did not inhale !

There will be no auto drain of any kind on the Primary and Secondary brake tanks and can only be drained manually. That tech was either out to lunch Mark or misunderstood and was talking about accessory air.

Interesting Mark. My concern with that would be that just emptying the air from the air bags does not drain the accumulated moisture from the bottom of the tank. Beside that, dumping the suspension does not drain the primary and secondary tanks because of the protection valve. Jon or other experts please flog me if I am misinformed or am misinterpreting how this works.

I also minimize idling. In a campground, I first check to see if the belts are tight, if not, give a boost from the Marathon aux system. When i start the coach, leave it at high idle until Prevost aux pressure is up, and if required, the suspension is up. When I get out of the campground, I limit speed to 55 MPH until I have 150-180 degrees on the coolant. I also try to avoid full throttle if possible.

Hard to see the bubbles over Jon’s head, but thought he was starting to dance to the Lennon Sisters’ music.

Mark – You now have life long free dues:)
I just did a 1,400 mile round trip with the new Pulse and had zero issues. As Jon pointed out, the external antenna is the answer. I ran the antenna through the steering bay, over the front fender well and along the underside of the bay doors. I used cable fasteners and silicone to secure the cable which is 40′ long.The antenna is back about the third bay and mounted to the Gen exhaust bracket and grounded. No the exhaust does not create a heat issue for the antenna. Hopefully one day Pressure Pro will come up with a new Repeater that can communicate with the new dynamic sensors and an external antenna will no longer be needed.
This is is my antenna, the garage floor is white, so don’t be confused with the pic. There is plenty of ground clearance at the antenna, the pic is deceiving.

It has been a couple of decades since I looked at the pneumatic system with reverse logic, but I remember clearly from a seminar put on by Prevost around 1991 or 1992 that when tag axles were lifted the brakes for that axle were disabled. I also remeber on my 1987 coach I could not only clear the ground with my tag axle tire, given a few minutes of time my rear would eventually reach normal ride height.
That was not the case with my 97, possibly due to the greater axle weights and the longer overhang at the rear.

Take a look at RVtripwizard.com.
Identifies campgrounds along/near your route with links to their reviews and websites, drag & drop changes to suggested routings, trip cost/budgeting capabilities, fuel points along your route and based on your individual coach criteria, upload trip routing to your GPS, identifies pet hospitals along your route, and a bunch more. I’ve used it for planning our trips for 3-4 years. A great many options and very configurable to your individual needs/wants. It is an annual renewal. Cost is about $40/year, but worth it, IMO.
