I don’t know if lender bias has an impact, but on more than one occasion I have had people try very hard to convince me the purchase of a coach makes no sense. I cannot count the number of times I have heard about how many nights I could stay in a suite in Las Vegas for what I spent to buy a Prevost.
Maybe lenders harbor similar thoughts. If we step back and look at the purchase of a Prevost objectively it does not make sense. They are expensive, they need expensive maintenance, they depreciate, and they don’t do anything a Winnebago cannot do. And those who seem almost gleeful when they tell us that (like we don’t already know that) are absolutely clueless about why we really do buy a Prevost, and why a lot of us keep buying them.

So, now, we may not be able to I eave on time for the Marathon Monterey Rally beginning 10-9-2016
And since we have a “he said, they said ” scenario, we eat the repair. This shop also identified the fact the our muffler took a large hard hit from the rear breaking brackets that hold it. CRIPE!!!So video cameras will be installed around the bus, so there is evidence of carelessness when we are ejected from the bus. That goes for Goodlettesville Prevost as well. Last fall we we’re told to,leave bus for installation of rear dog bone bushings

I leave the Jake brake on in traffic, but leave it off on the highway when it is not necessary. I don’t like unnecessary downshifts when I go down a slight decline. Jake brake placement is not good, I would have liked to have it next to the cruise control so it’s easier to put my finger on it by feel.

Tom, I just stop in a rest area on our way to Newport Beach and did a walk around and that’s when I noticed it. I was on the 10 by the CABAZON outlet center.

Jake is alwyas on. In a panic stop, i use a finger for something else!

Always on high. But then again, the Jake on my 8V92 is about as effective as sticking my hand out the window. I also ignore the no Jake signs. Our exhaust system does a pretty good job of knocking down any offensive noise. Those signs are really because of the truckers that like to play with their jake, especially if they have straight pipes, which hopefully I sold them.

Leave it alone. Our coaches are about at the limit of the ability to cool what we have. Don’t mess with what works.

I’m with Peter, most anytime more is power is added you find the weak spot in the system somewhere down the line. Sometimes sooner………….sometimes later.

Congratulations. I hope you never have a repeat of that experience. I can relate to that.

Bus For Sale did mine several years ago. They are in Goodlettesville, TN just one exit north of Prevost.

With Newall only 3 hrs from our bus barn, I have considered their product.
Took 2 aspirins… laid done for 30 minutes until the thought passed.
