Ramco is hiding in the weeds. No resolution. That’s another company on my list of folks to avoid. I wish Prevost would avoid them, but until they do there are a whole bunch of mirrors whose chrome plating is failng and whose mirrors are shaking.

I have at least one of the inner chair holding pockets available to anyone. Maybe two.
I do not believe all coaches require different struts because on my coach the struts can be installed in one of two available positions which has the effect of changing the mechanical advantage.

If I’m not mistaken, NAPA had the proper pump for mine either in stock or available overnight.
P.S. I grew up in Cleveland. What the heck are you doing there in December!!!??? I suspect you must REALLY love your family!

On my 15 kw kubota this last year the darn thing died and wouldn’t start. Let sit and start and run and next trip same thing. Had NAPA electric low pressure fuel pump installed and it comes on when cranking and stays on as long as engine is running. Seems to have worked on this trip the last couple days. If you have a hose coming from fuel tank coming to engine you might try to install inline pump and clamp to 12 volt positive post on battery for now and see if that works. Cheap check. Mine was installed right below the injection pump. Hope for the best.

I can tell the diffrence looking from the outside of a slide open or closed whether or not they are Prevost slides, as probably most Prevost owners can.
We have had both….plus plastic coaches with HWH slides.
Our last coach was a 1998 model H3-45 by Vantare and one of the very fiirst Prevosts with 2 slides. Those slides were HWH slides and did not have a level floor and had no air seals. They were great slides and were installed by Vantare at the time of the conversion.
Prevost did not put any slides in an H3-45 Chassis until the mid 2000s… so any H3-45 with slides up to somewhere around 2004 were installed by someone other than Prevost. Most of them were HWH slides and some Valid slides. Vantare only used HWH until Prevost began installing them in the Hs I believe.
We now have Prevost installed factory slides with the air seals and there is a step up at the J Booth which is very well done by Liberty and no problem at all. In our Vantare the step up was covered by the couch and also cabinets and our J Booth was on the passenger side of the coach.
Don’t shy away from the HWH slides as they are good slides and the seals are very easy to replace and the slides themsleves are easy to service and relatively trouble free.
Cheers, Diane

Valid slides can be had with flush floors.

“Mark,
How many gallons is your DEF tank?
Thank you
Bill”
Bill, I just checked the capacities in the manual and we have a 16 gallon tank. Now that I know how to fill it, it won’t be an issue for me. Our Diesel fill and DEF fill are behind the same door on the driver’s side. No DEF fill on the passenger side.
The handle is so different than the diesel handle it would be very difficult to confuse the two. You can’t put Diesel in the DEF tank as the nozzle won’t fit. But, you can put the DEF in the Diesel tank as the nozzle is small. The nozzle on the DEF is about as round as a quarter or little smaller.

Me either Tom, but this one has one.

I agree Jerry I pull trailer all over and I get it into 4 th gear and go down hills I have never had it over heat I like the retarder I have had both I like the first one best , I go all over the USA and Canada pulling a trailer hope that helps

My bus came new with a Jake AND a Retarder. Never seen another one like that. But, mine was ordered new with a stacker, so maybe that was the reason. I use the Retarder most of the time, and have never overheated the trans.
In regards to activating the brake lights when the retarder is on, I prefer mine NOT to do that, so that when low amounts of Retarder are used, the brake lights are not constantly coming on and off. But the main reason is, when I’m towing a trailer with electric brakes, It does not activate the trailer brakes every time the Retarder comes on and off.
If I’m using the retarder to maintain a speed limit going down a hill, why does everyone else need to know I’m using it, or think I’m getting on the brakes, and I’m not slowing down below the speed limit.
I use the Decel switch to activate brake lights as needed if I need to show my brake lights without getting on the manual brakes.
Just my 2 cents.

Diane,
I think you are correct… the 3G you are referring too is the speed of your hotspot not the gigs…. The previous post is referencing the amount of Gigs as part of the package they are downloading etc..
Most carriers are trying to get rid of the older unlimited plans by selling you something faster like 4G LTE etc..
It all depends on how and what your using but blowing thru 5 gigs in a month is pretty simple for most people. We are now on a 60 gig plan.

If you don’t find the leak, at least be aware you can deal with it if you are willing to do a little work. I think your vintage coach may have some solenoid valves in the pnuematic system that shut off when the key is off so you don’t or shouldn’t have air getting past the valves to leak out of the fan belt tensioners, or the door lock or other Prevost items.
That leaves the house, and if you go to a parts house and buy ball valves and a bunch of DOT compression fittings and put them in line with all the converter installed air operated devices you can actually shut off air flow to all devices except those you really need
I installed shut off valves on all my converter circuits and if I were to get a big leak like you now experience I could shut off that circuit and cure the problem until I could get it fixed/
Even if I had no clue where the leak was, all I have to do is shut all valves, and then in a few minutes open them. The valve that has air rushing through it after opening is the one circuit that has the leak.
On my coach I have pocket doors, a cabinet slide, dump valves, generator air bags, air horn, floor slide all on the converter side of the aux air system. But with the shut off valves I have no problem learning which one has the leak, or which one to turn off so I can use the coach.
