Computer won’t let me post more than 1 pic at a time. Look at the spool inside the norgren and you can see the build up from the moisture.

My Aqua Hot is a 2004 unit. I was told by Aqua Hot that the AHE-100-03S has one electric mode (element), not a high and a low setting like my 2007 unit on my last coach. The electric element will keep the water warm enough for a shower and supply hot water to the coach BUT he said it will not run the heat registers in “cold” temps. The electric switch under the sink has an on and off only. When I first got the coach and picked it up in Nashville I thought there was something wrong with the aqua hot because we where not getting much heat at all out of the registers at night.

We called a certified tech (Mr. RV) great guys by the way and they called aqua hot direct who explained this to me. The unit only has 600 hours on it and is in great shape and works perfect with the diesel burner on it.

Jon and others…..

The Aqua-Hot doesn’t have tanks like the Webasto…. what is the advantage of one over the other? We currently (as I’ve mentioned in other threads) have the Aqua-Hot system and thought that’s what I would want in our new coach if/when we order a new Prevost.

Since I’m a little green on these systems and only having Aqua-Hot, it seems to me having separate water tanks to worry about would be a slight disadvantage. Am I missing something?

Thanks, Mark

Flat towing is the way to go!

Just verify via the owners manual the Fit can be towed 4 down.

Gil, as a “gear head” you will be impressed. Not with their complexity, but with their simplicity. I always marvel at good basic designs that work well. The Norgrens fit into that catagory.

[Peter]

Jon,

I agree with your last statement 100%, But this is something I want to do and do it to what I think is the Perfect lease coach with all the things my 28 years have brought to me. The average person that rides on it will not know if it is the newest thing out or 20 years old,they will only know that it looks nice and appealing to the eye.The mechanics are for me to appreciate.

Thanks,

Robert

Well that gives me hope…..

Welcome Dick,

Glad your here on PC. We have opinions on most subjects. That’s sort of the idea and the reason

PC works so well. Great guy’s and several gals here. Lot’s of daily posts with more and more pictures it seems like.

Take a look at the NAPA discount parts program. With card at the NAPA store the counter person just needs the

number on the back which gives you a cash discount instantly on purchase.

Tom,

Glad I could help…..and I didn’t even have to get my hands dirty!

There are a couple of lessons that Tom has offered in his posts. First, depending on how or where the coach leans it provides the information needed to focus on one relatively narrow area of the coach system. Tom’s leaned left so he knew the problem was in the rear left, from the 5 port Norgren back. The reason everyone needs to understand this is if you do not do your own work, and you hire someone to do the repairs you will be able to make sure they aren’t spraying soapy water on your brakes or fittings except in a very limited area of the suspension. In fact use the webinar Robert Hitt has prepared to help you understand the suspension.

The second lesson is not all leaks can be found visually. You can soap the fittings and components all you want, but some leaks are not going to show up because there are places the leaks will exit certain components and no amount of soapy water is going to show them.

Tom’s choice of a pressure gauge device is only one way to effectively isolate leaks. Hector created a device he calls a bubbler which is also 100% accurate. The thing to remember is whichever leak detection device you use there is no fast simple way to verify where the leak is. As Tom explained he started at one point and kept moving closer to the area of the leak by methodically verifying where the leak was or wasn’t. It takes time and is a sometimes difficult process, but even the smallest leak can drive you crazy so it is worth the effort to eliminate them when possible.

Notice Tom mentioned his use of the pneumatic diagram. The Prevost site has them available and you can have the PDF file blown up to a large size at Kinkos to make it easier to follow. That diagram is worth its weight in gold.

There is one thing every owner can be certain of. His coach will leak air and his coach will lean. This is one area worth developing a basic understanding of because it is as sure to happen as taxes. If you do have the leans use this forum to ask questions and to post photos of your process to isolate the leaks. The reason is everyone is going to benefit if this issue is discussed in detail. No matter how many times people ask the questions it is worth re-asking because unless you work with the coach every day it is difficult to remember all we need to know to make the coach more enjoyable.

My dimmer is all the way up , I am going to replace mine with blue digital gauges easier to see should look cool and put in temp gauge for inside temp and outside temp had them in my Peterbilt way easier to see

[Peter]

Make sure your dimmer is cranked all the way up.

[Peter]

Yes Rick, one ring per wheel position, 6 total. The large one goes between the inner and outer drive tires.

[Peter]

Mike,

Be sure to join in, the sound of those 2 cycles brings back the good ole days.

When this happened to us, it was the Allen Bradley output card that controls the transfer switch. I believe it was the second to the last module (left to right) in the A.B. rack.
