Our crew cab Chevy Colorado has been a great toad for us. Hold 2 buttons on the dash at the same time, shut off the engine and away you go.

Robert,
Thank You so much for input. I am becoming more and more skeptical as days go on. Not that it wasn’t Randy’s but rather this coach is a good investment or even atleast a coach that I could use without worry. I never really put any emphasis on prior owner adding value but merely maybe someone would make connection of coach and Randy Travis. I would primarily use the coach to make a 4 hour trip to football games in Tallahassee with my kids. But like I said before I am not even confident at this point if I would be comfortable doing that. After further investigation I also found out this Coach has a rebuilt title from wreck in pictures above so that leads me to believe that you are correct …that was one BIG oak tree….sounds more like a Redwood!!! Once again thanks for all the input!!!!

So maybe the younger, more hip crowd can explain to me why there is even a facebook or a twitter or whatever the latest rage is, if our forums do the same thing?
What part of this am I missing?

Peter,
did you take any pictures?
I’m trying to figure out how to access the radiator on our bus. I know it is in the floor behind the generator compartment but no obvious way to get to it. Tomorrow I’ll remove some bay panels on the other side of the bus and see if I can see the darn thing.

Can’t personally recommend this company, but they are located in the (North West) Atlanta area. They run a large fleet of Prevost Tour/VIP buses and do list “Service” on their website. With that many coaches they should have some experience with Prevost and may be able to do a Detailed Mechanical Inspection.
As I mentioned, I have never used them, but my neighbors son is a driver for them. he had one of their coaches over the house a month or so ago. Looked well maintaned and very clean.

Yes that is coach! Current owner told me of wreck where he caught a oak tree limb on side of I remver correctly. He did cut a pass through bulkhead and I need to look at craftsmanship a bit closer. I feel at what I can buy it at I will be able to afford quite a few updates or repairs if needed. As long as major are in working order. I would need to coordinate a time to get PDI. I thank all for responses!!!

I replaced all mine a couple of years ago with LED discs like the picture another poster added. My fixtures are setup so the pin goes in the side, not the top. I got all my stuff from Superbrightleds.com I have had no failures and like them. I bought the 6 led ones, they have up to 10 or 11 if I recall correctly. Very little heat, and lots less amps being used!
I would buy from them again. Service was good.

Tom,
We purchased ours from this supplier
http://ablelightingcn.en.alibaba.com/productgrouplist-212865485/G4_Led.html
We found them to be very professional and the prices are the best I could find.
Warm white is the closest match to what you now have.
You’ll have to measure your space carefully and compare it to the different size bulbs.
We used a flat disk with 6 LED’s and our pins are mounted on the side of the LED bulb.
It was necessary for us to pop the reflector out of the original fixture in order for the LED’s to fit, but that may not be the case for you since your pins are located in a different position.
This is the LED that we used.
Sounds like Peter has the same fixture configuration as you have, with the pins pointing up rather than to the side. He will be able to help pinpoint exactly what you need.

pvc has a few drops along way on mine in rear bay for instsnce for battery leads for gen set —was prob a converter deal. I also had 2 empty ones I used for other things.. Felt I could dig the foam out if I needed to replace something. Yes I has had a mouse chew a air line into in the large PVC pipe—-taped new line on other end and pulled new line in(lucky it wasn’t completly into.)

That’s true Tom, Jon you said he was one of the best so perfection is at the top , so at that shop you will get the best bang for your buck. So how much an hour $$$$

Bill,I cannot help with the wiring on a Prevost but have it for a Eagle with a DDEC I you need to break in down into 2 parts on the wiring from the engine to the plug is a DD responsibility from the plug on is the OEM responsibility I can help with the DD responsibilty no problem.
Have you checked the 2 fuses that supply the power to the heads ? the Jakes shouldn’t come into play they don’t go through the ECM on a DDEC I.
I maybe wrong but I am leaning towards the boost sensor has been replaced over the years with the wrong sensor get the number from it and call Bill in the parts dept at WW Williams in Phoenix he is from the old school and knows those engines
I have a friend in NM that has a couple of spares of the EProm for the old DDEC I he will probaly lend you one to check yours, send me some type contact info and I will put you in touch with him he is good with the old DDEC I the one in his Eagle will get down the road
good luck
