One thing I have experienced is that the bay door lock actuators are sensitive to low voltage. A quick and easy and cheap attempt to isolate the problem is to replace the relay(s) with a new one and see if that cures the problem. As the relays age you get a little resistance across the contacts and is seems to be enough for the bay door actuators to fail, usually not all, but some.
In your coach the relays are in the second bay, drivers side, probably on the left wall. Have someone activate the bay door locks and if the relays are like the ones on my 97 Liberty you will see the spark between the contacts as they are actuated. Or you could call Liberty and they will tell you where the relays are on your coach.

Jeff,
Have you tried this page to see if the owners manual for your inverter model number is listed.

I guess my Facebook Entry did not feed over, we hope to make it again. Jon must be hungry for the Bi-Valve Mollusks again….look forward to seeing Friends.

Welcome Jeff and Lynn,
We are fairly new to this forum ourselves, and everyone here has a weath of information. We’d been researching for awhile and observing everbody’s opinions. We decided on Millennium and are in the process of the build right now. This is our first Prevost, previously we had 2 “plastic” coaches and a 5-wheel trailer. Comparing our old Monaco and Country Coach, we can tell you that Prevost is in a league of their own. They drive wonderful.
We look forward to hearing about your journey finding just the right Prevost for you. Jack

Very sharp rig! It’ll look great behind your coach!

Awesome! Congratulations. Post pictures when you can.

Thanks, Jeff. I am aware of that. It is why I am only considering an electric heater as a temporary fix. I fully intend to replace the AH at some point. Hopefully sooner rather than later but it will not be before this winter for sure. I love the interior heat of the AH. We do have four toe kicks and four roof airs with heat strips rather than heat pumps. I also have electric heaters in both bays that are vulnerable to freezing. Plus I am planning to work in Texas, Louisiana and Alabama in January and February instead of Oklahoma, Missouri and Kansas as I have the last twelve years. That should help some.
Larry, I went through all the diagnosis this winter hoping against hope that this leak was not catostrophic. It is most definitely the boiler as I have detailed on threads here in the past. I wish I was wrong but I finally had to face the factsl. I intended to replace it this last summer but we had to go with different priorities when my daughter had a health crisis in April. I will get to it eventually.

Tom, mine is about 8 years old too.
Since we hook up at a bunch of old Ag Center electrical outlets in our travels to dog shows, the quality of the power is always suspect. A good surge protecter that includes protection from bad grounds, floating neutrals, low voltage, etc. has saved us multiple times.

I’ve used this Progressive Industries surge protector for years with no issues and I think Jon uses the same one, they run about 100 bucks.

Got an e-mail from Prevost advising as soon as information for Vegas is available, it will be sent to us.

Bernie,
I told BA be careful of the Lot Lizards!

Sorry I was not clear in what I wrote. I just thought turning on the furnace would show the system was powered up. It can be shut down completely. I think you are correct that electric will manage the Freeze Prevent feature. Do you know the bay temperature currently? What is your air temp? What color is your freeze prevent button indicating? Solid red or solid green would indicate normal operation.

I wouldn’t be too hard on Olympia, I doubt they make their deals based on maintenance records and owner history. We’ve all seen buses without records, it’s not unusual. I’m not saying it’s OK, it just happens more than you think.
You won’t get anything from Prevost unless the previous owner OK’s it in writing or you can prove ownership. Even then you may only get a summary of maintenance because they will not provide detailed work orders because of privacy of personal information.
Hopefully someone here will recognize the bus or know a little history to help you. One question would be why the 2nd owner only had it 10 months, but you may not be able to get that either, he may have just flipped it.
The paint job does look familiar though….
Glad your posting Steve, we’re here to help…
