Deja Vue: two years ago I discovered that the clevis yoke that lifts the tag
had broken. Today, I found that both the curb side and road side clevis yokes
are broken. I don’t remember the last time I lifted the tag. Any ideas for the
cause?

Thanks Jon. I have never changed a fuel filter or filters out but if I ever run out of fuel or get in a bind this is good to know. We all ain’t like Harry with gazillions in the pocketbook.

It seems we are all similar in weights and tire pressures, but please, please, please do not assume your coach is like others. Verify your weights by getting your coach weighed and then use the tire pressure charts on either the Prevost site or Michelin site to find the correct pressure needed.
The cost to get accurate scale weights is in the $10 range at most truck stops and is the starting point for determining what your pressure should be.

Is this a problem with X3 also?

Per,
Nice upgrades! I’m sure Margrit will enjoy the extra storage. Hope we can run into you guys on the road. it would be nice to see you again.

I’m fortunate enough with my vintage to have the master dash switch for the chassis, so I can leave the camera on at night if need be without the key on. I did the same as Jon using the 12v source in the steering bay that’s on/off with the master switch.

A) The turn signals are factory for a 1988.
B) I may not have been clear but that’s how the grill looks on my ’88 and certainly all Country Cocahes’s (and others) of that era. That’s where 2 Cruise-air units are located and that’s the grill they used.

I heard this when I read Jon’s remarks –
Fly me to the moon
Let me play among the stars
And let me see what Spring is like

Everyone needs some kind of “release” from time to time. Marathon owners apparently have “emergency needs” for “release”. I trust it provides the relief they were looking for.

Leon is an outstanding human being who is dedicated to helping customers like us enjoy our days on the road. I had the pleasure of meeting him last October in Coburg and have chipped in to help his family.

TG – I think I have the literature for my 04 maybe the same. On mine, you have to pull the refrigerator to replace the fixture.

Find out who repairs the tour buses in Tucson and see if they have a clutch in stock? They may also have a parts inventory for their region.

Yes, on the Plateau, we call it a bad Winter if the snow stays on the ground after lunch… 🙂

Gordon,
It is kind of scary to imagine a coach exposed to the winter temps you describe and with only 30 amp available. That means winterizing has to be done perfectly because any water that might be undrained can damage the coach.
The folks that can give you the best details are those that have the same vintage and model. In your case the devil is going to be in the details. In my coach there are all kinds of potential spots to trap untreated water, ranging from the water pumps, icemaker and icemaker water lines, sink traps, low points in the water system, the RO and water treatment system, washer, dishwasher, drains for all appliances, etc.
But if the coach has an unknown history and your mention of some of the Level Low system having a glitch suggests strongly the entire coach pneumatic system should be checked for the presence of water. Based on posts, phone calls and emails it is my opinion there are a lot of owners unaware of the importance of maintaining a dry pneumatic system until they have problems. I know of some that have had air bags half full of water and system valves filled with water which will end up with serious and expensive damage if water is not purged.
Unless I could be assured of continuous reliable power I would shut the entire coach electrical systems down because we have a lot of phantom loads. Those loads can deplete house batteries and a dead battery will freeze. I would monitor battery charge and recharge as needed using inverters or in the case of the chassis use a 3 stage charger.
A 30 amp power source will not support the current draw of heaters and allow other use of power such as inverters or chargers so it is important to decide priorities. A 30 amp service can be counted on for reliable 24 amp loads, but beyond that limits are being approached.
Congratulations on your new to you coach.

Have heard that one regular bulb will stop the LED bulbs in string from
flickering too. The other factor is usually the dimmer switch itself. You
need to upgrade the dimmer to LED compatible dimmer.
