Actual results are better than geeks numbers for me. I see a longer cable run in my future.
Thanks David & Tom

Just hope you visited the Cliff Dwellings in Chinle while you were there. This town is the only place where I have seen signs on light poles that basically said “Please don’t feed the Indians”! Beggers are a real problem. We pulled into a fast food place and an Indian (the “How kind”, not the “dot kind”) immediately knocked on our door and asked for money. Despite that, great historical site.

Dare you laugh about a parachute on a bus . . .
Incidentally, this is a good example for kinetic energy being the problem, versus potential energy coming down a mountain, he only has to stop once and quickly at that.

Jon I think the air that exhaust is the air thats in the air lines between the valves,When you raise, The 5 port on the bulkhead opens to add air, the Norgren in the steer opens to air supply, When you remove your finger from switch the rear 5 port closes valve, the Norgren in steer shifts from air supply to exhaust and compressed air in the air line from rear to front exhaust. the front is a short burst because it’s right there and both rears are longer because or the length on tubing.
Jon! Thank’ again for all the time and knowledge you put it to all these questions, I just looked up how to read date codes on my tires, steer 2016-drives 2017- Tags 2015 , A good thing to keep track of.

My bad, was 1988. Duhh, mine is a ‘92. I must confess I only kept the VCR in the bedroom. I have a copy of “on the bus” that we watch every once in a while. Borgnine’s bus is the sister coach to ours.

It’s only money and I think you have had your current one longer than any other so now’s the time. Help the economy.

I have been contacted by Prevost and now rather than speculate I am hoping with their resources they can help us determine the cause, prevention, how to inspect for the problem, etc.

As I continue to dig into this situation I got a response to my questions that not only made a lot of sense, but seems viable.
Can any of you who have had this situation determine if the coach was stationary for a long time period, and if the conditions were with high humidity that could cause rust and the pads to stick to the discs?
Does anyone know if the metallic composition of the Knorr-Bremse pads is greater than the Meritor pads not exhibiting the problem?
Anyone?

Jeff: Are you planning on installing 50amp/240volt RV outlet on your garage wall? You mention plugging into your garage’s 110. That solves lots of problems and challenges. When it gets cold out, you’re going to need more than 110 volts (providing I presume 15amps).

Per,
Glad to hear everything worked out for you. Special thanks to Boateral for posting and reposting the what to do when you have a blow out for all those years.
Another tidbit that I have heard a few times is make sure when you pull over in an emergency that your exit door isn’t blocked by a guard rail or other fixed obstruction from opening the door.
There is a lot to remember when driving something this large… so hearing it often is a good idea.
Even better when the advice given works..

Sounds like the tire was a 315… right?

No doubt covers make a modest contribution to the life of the tire. But I am still waiting for advocates of those covers to explain to me how it is that the inside tires on the drive axle seem to develop cracks from aging just as fast as the tires exposed to the sun.
If anyone is really serious about preventing or minimizing the effects of aging the answer is to run those tires frequently so the compounds within the tire that resist aging are released. Even with doing all possible to resist aging after a certain age (around 7 years) frequent inspections are required to insure the tires are safe. An inspection is difficult and expensive because it involves more than just looking at the outside of the tire. It involves an inspection of the inside as well.
And no matter how well maintained a tire is ten years has to be considered the absolute end of life.

It was a lot easier saying equidistant than it was trying to hold the pan directly parallel with the bottom skirt of the engine block so I could get a few bolts started without smooshing (technical term) the sealing gasket in one spot and damaging it.
The Series 60 pan may be aluminum, but that sucker is big and heavy.

Thank you for the replys.
