Am I missing something here. I have replaced a lot of my compression fittings on connections from norgren valves and to the micro flush toilet with push type. By design, they have a greater area of sealing. They are little more expensive and I only use DOT.

Most units in the transportation industry have been using the push type for years. Have proven their success.

I had mine done at prevost in Mia Loma , I don’t like to do my own coolant changes because of all the animals around let somebody else deal with getting rid of it they did great job….

here’s the new one installed

Bruce,

Put your Jeep in the Flea Market, lots of exposure..

My bad for forgetting to answer the question. I do strongly suggest all 8V92 owners with OTR to pay very close attention to that “filter”. I believe the 2 stroke engine cooling systems are susceptible to silicon dropout and far more plugged radiators are reported on the 2 stroke engines than on the Series 60.

One clue the coolant needs to be changed or its chemistry adjusted is if the sediment bowl located in the OTR evaporator bay has a sludge or slime in the bottom of it. I think the primary purpose of the filter is to trap any foreign materials such as small pieces of solder or debris that might have entered the coolant.

You were right.when I started the coach and then tried the switch the lights came on. I will want to add some other lighting for when I do work since I can’t run the coach when doing work like changing my batteries etc. Thank you for your feedback.

[Peter]

Thanks again, I would have been pissed after spending the money to go 6′ and then have to use a step ladder to get back up.

Funny you mention 45′, We were looking for a later model Liberty for a while when I had the 60 series infatuation, our 8V92 was very anemic on take off and we were pulling a 30′ Cigarette boat. If we had to stop on a grade the light would almost change before we could get rolling again. I installed the MAP sensor mod and the coach came alive. It rolls right away now and is fun to drive.

Sorry I got side tracked, anyway my point was we were looking specifically for 40′ because of the combined length of coach and boat. Now we have a 21′ picklefork drag boat and length is not an issue but I am more concerned with weight and manuverability after having this 40′ and a previous 40′ Eagle. We like the 40′ length and in fact we stopped looking for a 60 series because most of them were in 45′ coaches (and the anemic situation was cured). I know bigger is better, but for the two of us 40′ is just right, without slides.

Any chance the P-Trap is getting sucked dry when dumping?

On the lense face does it say, Grote ?

If yes, what are the 4 numbers near that name ?

Rodger, Grote also list 24 volt lenses in same design.

Same question…..Is it Grote lense ?

[Peter]

AMEN on Prevost OTR air. I would not trade it for any option, including 2 more slides.

For some reason, I can’t edit the previous post. Typing on my iPad I didn’t catch auto-corrects. Below is the “corrected” version.

We have a ’99 Vantare H3. We’ve had it about three years and love it.

We have Over The Road (OTR) air, basement air and 2 Cruisairs. One
Cruisair in the bedroom and one behind the driver. Going down the road
we use OTR air and it doesn’t matter how hot, it is cold inside. If
it isn’t real hot, we run the basment unit and the bedroom cruisair. The
basment unit leaves the bedroom a little stuffy without the cruisair
running. When it is hot, over 85 – 90 or we are 100% sun all day, we
also run front cruisair. Living in Florida and South Carolina it seems
like most of our trips involve some type of hot and we are happy with
our setup.

The original basement unit is a RVAC unit. That unit is no longer
made. We had luck babying ours for a couple years with off-the-shelf
parts. Once in Maine, we used a home HVAC repairman to fix the unit, so
it is definitely serviceable. Last year we replaced the unit with a new
Coleman-Mach unit. Parliament in Clearwater did the work. We are very
happy with the new unit and the price wasn’t bad.

Let me know if there’s anything I can try to answer for you.

Happy hunting!
