I guess I should clarify that I took the fixture and socket and bulb and the whole thing into NAPA and the guys handed me the intergrated bulp and socket replacment which apperes to be the same but I guess there is always the chance that I got the wrong bulb and socket. Could it be a bad bround or anythng else ?

I don’t think that’s a good thing , but one of my business is recovery of that kind of mistake sorry to see someone did not take the care to know how to set the park brake!!!!!!!

[Peter]

Davy there is as place in or near Portland that will make one that will never fog up email me I will give u number !!!

[Peter]

Congrats on the new coach! You will love it! We’ll find out soon for ourselves.

We will all have the Prevost shell so none of us can go wrong. Knowing and meeting the owner’s is icing on the cake. We had the same experience.

Hope to see you at a rally next year!

My Legendary has it’s generator radiator on the roof as well. Other than a leak in the core last winter while parked, I have had no issues with it’s location. It would be easier to work on if at ground level, but there isn’t much to do to it. As far as protection, the fan assembly is mounted on top, and fore and aft are protected by steel mesh. The bottom is just above the roof of the coach so that is safe.

Not a huge deal to me where it is, each location has benefits / drawbacks.

Have used a 50 amp circut breaker for years as a on off switch on a Ingersol Rand upright big horse air compressor and in my new bus barn for Prevost. Don’t want to plug or unplug it hot. Not supposed to but heck it’s working. They say the springs will get weak a flipping.

Peter,

After we spoke I checked mine. All 4 control valves are two wire valves as discussed. I don’t know why yours might be three wire.

But I did verify the operation which supports your theory that the pneumatic cylinder that actuates the gate valves is leaking. The normal system position is the air supply to the pneumatic cylinder is a normally open path through the control valve so the gate valve air cylinder always has pressure holding it closed. The path from the opposite air fitting back to the control valve is open. That is why you hear the leak. It is open so when the gate valve is being held closed by the air cylinder, the air on the other side of the air cylinder is exhausted.

When you command the gate valve to open, the control valve reverses the air flow. The supply line which was holding the air cylinder in the closed position now becomes the exhaust path and the exhaust line now becomes pressurized to open the gate valve.

I’m afraid for a permanent fix you have to replace the seals (probably O rings) in the air cylinder, but to do that you appear to have to remove the entire gate valve assembly, split the valve case by removing the half dozen screws and then remove and rebuild the air cylinder. The short term fix to keep you going until you have the opportunity to make the repair is to use the ball valve or thread a pipe plug into the control valve exhaust.

A&E Tire , our Michelin dealer, in Commerce City Co has a good supply of 315/80’s Energy tires, and a few 365. They said they have Michelin reps in their office daily, and none have mentioned discontinuing the 315 Energy tires, just a manufacturing backlog

The Energy 315’s sell over-the-counter here for $798/each. What is the current “tire program” price these days. Our steer tires have been developing “river wear” or “rivering”, where a wavy wear pattern has developing on a tire rib, either the edge or in the middle of rib, which the Michelin dealer says isnormal ? Searching google, I found considerable reading on the Wanderlodge forum about “rivering”, which apparently is more prevalent on Michelin 315

David decided to do his best to discourage folks on the Foretravel forum and his own Bluebird forum to abandon the PC fuel program and switch to a credit card deal that he worked out. It’s obvious his goal is to pull people from the PC program. The folks on those sites are the ones that brought it to our attention.

His response to us deleting his membership was to join POG and try to rally the few that don’t like PC such as Gil. Reminds me of being back in grade school. Gil is no longer on our site either.

Note – I have been assured there is no monetary gain, so I corrected my statement.

it’s sold. Friends of ours downsized from an H3-45 double slide

Don, I have the M&G on a Jeep wrangler ( towed about 10,000 miles) and a GMC Sierra pickup ( 2,000 miles). Both pulled by a Blue Ox all terrain variety with a 10,000 lb rating. The connections are easy on the tow bar and supplemental braking seems the way to go whether it’s Tom’s blood suckers or the peace of mind of knowing you are doing all you can to keep yourself and others safe.

I did exactly what Peter did … I could access both sides of mine from the same opening…very close to the middle close to the floor my panel just pulled off, it was very tight getting my hand in there and then snipping the end off the line but I managed !!

Cheers, Diane

I pull trailer all the time I never lift tag can not turn that sharp with trailer on , I run 110 in front and 100 on drives and tag never a problem , I change tires about every two years because of miles never have had a blow out in 30 years and tires wear even all of them I get my coach aligned every two years unless it needs it sooner when I put new tires on
