Nice picture Peter, it looks like the bus was at Jeff’s…

Pat…
If you are buying from Dave (I think you told me that) he will spend as much time as you want teaching you the ropes… some folks video these “walk throughs” for viewing later… as it’s way too much to absorb in a couple of days… just take your time and ask lots of questions… lots and lots of questions !!
Get the service records too… both Liberty and Prevost should have them or at least what is available.
The list that Peter has emailed you will cover everything I imagine.
Lots of Liberty and other people here happy to help you as your questions arise and they will.
Congratulations on your new to you coach and holler at us and let’s see if we can get together soon.. also check out the Rally section here on PC … lots of things going on… hope you can make the Oysterfest as that is always sooo much fun !!
Cheers, Diane

We stay at Sunflower in Suprise. Not fancy parking but long pull thrus. Another back in resort is El Mirage Golf&RV resort. We will be at Sunflower after the big event in Quartzsite.

I have asked him about the level low switch, he says it is correct, and he hasn’t ever moved it.
I will tell him about your suggestions. The slides are trying to work, but won’t come in because the pins are not retracting first as usual, to allow them to come in. Maybe it is a sequence issue.
I’m not sure whether the locking pins are electric operated, or hydraulic.
The batteries are good, and he has the bus running while trying to move them, which is the proper procedure for the HWH slides, (or so I’m told)
Mine are like Diane says, they will work with the key on and not running as long as everything is good with the batteries.
Also, the green travel light is on, and the bus is at ride height.
He has Jim Marsh (VIP Luxury Coach) on retainer to help walk through issues like this, but sounds like he is out of ideas as well, and telling him to contact HWH.
I’ll post the results when we find the problem.

What’s this Pro- Bono stuff.? I thought we were getting lifetime membership with all dues paid.

You might be on to something BTom. PC did a chile cook-off last year at OKC no rally for a Saturday lunch.
PC members reading there were cash prizes-real money everything changed. Bragging rights are important.
Great fun every entry (13) was different taste and spices.
One thing I’am seeing in travels at parties are wings…. BBQ grilled/oven baked /marinated / seasoned personal home made recipes.

Bryan,
Yes, that is the filler I’m looking for. When convenient could you please get the part number off the revised filler for me? I have tried to look it up but no luck.
Peter, I tried rotatiing the old one, but it is just too big

Any interest for a hands on XL windshield seminar at the Oyster Fest? I need the drivers side changed out and would like to get some knowledgable instructions on what everyone says is an easy job. If so I’ll bring the windshield and provide (most) of the labor. Everyone else can kibitz. Any other parts (gasket?) or special tools needed?

Al….When it comes to BBQ, it’s like debating predestination and other unfathomable issues. If we could get everyone to bring samples to BellaTerra in April, we could have a little Battle of the BBQ’s. As much as I like what we have here, it would be a real pleasure to come get a sample of yours. If western Carolina appears in your windshield, come by and stay a night or two and let me show you a sample of ours!

I just bought two webasto pumps for less than $100 each =were new!
-
As Jon said this is one coach that is truly custom…I remember working on it when randy owned it. With the bulkhead in it it required having the additional thermostat for webasto heat in the drivers area. All the loops must be connected to get flow through the system in order for it to function. If the circulation pump is not running does it have power to it? Power comes from the power distribution area in the bay and is fused there. Those circulation pumps are not cheap, I have one that is used and the pump section has been rebuilt
-
Thank you. In line with my thinking and I have already begun to connect the line in the locations where the lines have been terminated and the heat exchanger removed.
The circulating pump is not running and the line solenoid does not open. I am getting voltage from the controller into the relay that should open the pump/valve circuit but nothing further. I suspect the 12V line coming into the relay from somewhere in the engine compartment or bedroom (electrical panel) has no power. I have to sort that out and find out what gives power to that circuit……When the bed was removed, all the wires, Bose sub, video cables, audio and a bunch other were just coiled and hid to the side of the box. I have to dig int that.
Up front I am facing a challenge. I have 2 thermostats. One says Driver Webasto and another one Lounge Webasto. I found a pair of Webasto heater lines from a heat exchanger that was removed from the base of the wall between the driver and living quarters and now sit capped close to the floor in the cabinet behind the driver ….that is it. According to previsous owner there are no ore lines….but then why 2 thermostats ? Is it common for the driver Webasto heat exchanger to be actually somewhere under the dash close to the heat outputs from the OTR system ? If that is the case I don’t have to rip apart any more cabinets and walls to look for lines….
I am chasing leaks. The front of the coach goes down overninght. Once pumped up and shut everything off I can hear a leak in the front compartment under the driver. I sprayed everythwere I can reach with the soapy water and so far I can’t find it…looks to be deeper in the belly.
Question for the experts….the air system bleeds and there is no air in the belt tensioners for the engine. Is it safe to start the engine with no air in the system and let the belts make noises until the bags inflate ? It takes up to a minute of idle before the air reaches the tensioner bags and then all is quiet and well.
If I turn the generator on and the auxiliary air compressor on, the compressor will run for a long time and not stop. Sometime in the recent past, the original Gast comprssor apparently croacked and the owner installed a pancake compressor there tied above the house baterries. It does not have a lot of power but does make air for the doors inside. It will not make enough air to raise the coach or get air to the engine tensioners even if it runs for a half an hour. Since it is noisy along with the generator, I can not hear any leaks to figure out where the iar id going.
The coach got new engine Bendix compressor last year, new airbags front and rear this spring.
With the coach down in the front, I start the engine, let air build up and put the leveling system in Road, the front does not raise. If I put it in Auto, it comes up. In manual I can lift the whole cach….In Road mode it just sits there. It is cold here, 15F and air systems don’t like it cold but this is not normal, right ?
Many thanks again. I am learning and reading a lot. Love this coach and the fact that the “Cowboy Woody” is Randy Travis’s old tour bus makes it even more exciting for us. If anybody has advice and would rather call me to chat I would be grateful.

Have a friend (engineer) that works for Exxon/Mobil in one of the largest refineries in Baytown Tx. and he says they are and have been exporting just as much diesel as gasoline and have been for quite a while. I never understood the price difference between gas/diesel because he said the diesel comes off toward the bottom of the Cat cracker and therefore easier to refine. And brother in law still buys Avgas (leaded) at over 100 octane for his Piper Arrow. Wonder what a tank of that would do it yourchainsaw/lawnmower.
