Hey, did you Liberty guys notice the nice access door for cleaning BA’s cruisair evaporator filter. Just wanted to be sure you saw that.:)

I had the conversion done in my Marathon. I bought an IPad Air and a Mini. I bought the latest generation because they were just a little more money that the previous generation. I had to have my Crestron system reprogrammed to control some added electronics. That process was very expensive, consumed a lot of time, and generally was a gigantic pain. By the time I figured out that the shop that was doing the work did not know what they were doing, and that their estimated cost of the reprogramming was way too low, I was too far in to the project to abandon it.
If you do not need to reprogram your system, the cost for the conversion is reasonable. If you need to reprogram, be very careful. It could be painful.

what about a flap that opens when the generator runs. You see them on trucks and Dozers.

TAG1, Please forego the use of caps only in your posts. I would guess that like us, most people skip reading them because of it.

Like Robert, my bolt was bent. But the insides of my lock had been repaired before. Apparently, the expense and rarity of these locks is nothing new. Lots of them have been repaired. Mine is working great now. But I still am going to explore replacing all of the Prevost stuff. I’ll have to have new stainless on the outside of the door, and have some new mounts welded into the inside. But, luckily that project can wait since it’s working now.

Standard supply Little Giant in the extention mode. Note the padded ends for extension mode as it rest against coach.. Dealing with storm damaged awning at campground from severe winds that sucked out a closed zip dee awning. I found someone smaller than me to go ontop and at least save my roof!!!

Up to about the 2007 or 2008 model year (maybe a 2006 chassis) Prevost slides had 3 locking pins on each side on the front slide. They were a large diameter. The slide room had a rack top and bottom on each side for the gear that drove the slide in and out. I don’t know if that sets them apart from others, but I use those as clues. Later model Prevost slides were called “pinless” and they did not have the side locking pins.
Inside the Prevost slide “rode” above the floor so there was a step up into the dinette. Other aftermarket slides had floors flush with the Prevost floor.
I guess you would have to see several with Prevost slides and then on those with non-Prevost slides there would be differences. There were several manufacturers of aftermarket slides, all different.

Hard to tell in the photo, but is that a pressure relief valve?
If so they are generic, but you need the upper limit to match the compressor. You don’t want to put a 175 PSI on a 120 PSI system. If you couple the aux system to the bus accessory system you need at least 130 PSI because that is the upper limit for the Prevost.

No road service provider. My first objective is to make sure I don’t get towed by being anal about service.
When I did need a tow it was due to a fire and even though I was extremely specific about my needs I still sent the first tow truck home. The second had the right equipment and knowledge. The tow was 180 miles to Prevost and it cost $1000 which was covered by the insurance company.
So in 25 years I had one tow and the money I saved was enough to pay for that one if I had to pay it out of pocket.
One thing is for sure………..whether you get towed or put on a flatbed the potential for damage to your coach is very high. And when it is damaged it is very expensive. No matter how much of an “expert” the tow driver professes to be or acts like he knows it all never ever let him bully you or intimidate you into allowing him to damage your coach. If you are the least bit uncomfortable with what he is doing or about to do make him stop. You need to get down on the ground yourself and make sure there are clearances so no sheet metal gets bent, no underbelly components get damaged, and your coach is secured properly.

Nice to see somone working on a similar vintage bus as me. I replaced my fogged driver side window a few weeks ago. Today spent the morning at the glass shop re-setting my drivers windshield after the old gasket split. I’ll be going back in a couple weeks for another glass project. I’ll hopefully be adding a slider window that Robert sold me. It took over a month to get the new gasket through customs from Canada.

Depends.
If it is safe to do so. I cannot justify stopping a few inches off the pavement because the risk of distracted drivers today is so great there is too much danger.
Add in the fact that two Prevost coaches along side of the road are going to attract attention (Garth Brooks must be driving one of them) and just that could create a second hazard for other drivers.
