    Joe,Behind the cruise air electrical cover you can connect the fan to the bottom 2 terminals which are the 110 volt supply.The fans will then run all the time and will only turn off when you turn off the breaker to the unit.

    All,

    Thanks for the information on the above dealer/broker. Tried to call their number a couple of times without any success. Get a recorded message, but does not allow you to leave a message. On the part of the website that you can leave information, it is asking for too much info.

    Thanks,

    Reese

    September 7, 2014 at 9:35 pm in reply to: change out 315 tires to 365 tires

    I changed only the fronts. I’ve kept my tire pressure at 105 psi and had no problems over four years. You can probably save money but Prevost JAX has a bulk price that includes studs, wheels & tires plus it saved me time having to fool with all the detail.

    The first thing I did after buying my coach,was to buy eight new tires. I know where my tires have been and how they have been taken care of. There is nothing more important.

    Additionally, Michelin has approved mounting a 315 on your 365 rim, temporarily, to get you down the road to a place that has a 365.

    Keep in mind, that 365’s are overkill & if taken care of should not fail. I can’t imagine not taking care of your tires. Pressure Pro really helps in this regard.

    considering the huge number of existing members, it is time now to ask for a reduction of our membership dues!

    Don’t you agree?

    Awnings would NOT be something that would influence my decision in buying a bus all other things being equal that’s for sure.

    If a bus feels right to you when you go inside and you really like it I wouldn’t let awnings of any description stand in the way of a purchase… we love awnings and use them all the time… they are a BIG deal to me but they are also replaceable … best to figure out the $$$$ value to change to the ones you want and get the bus your heart really desires !!! We all have our likes and dislikes I haven’t owned a bus without OTR so I can’t comment on not having it… just saying though that I do love the OTR especially in an H.

    Buy the bus you want and make allowances for replacing some of things to don’t love… you will be replacing things you don’t want to replace too at some point and time…. just something we all have to do.

    Cheers, Diane

    This is just an observation about awnings from my perspective only.

    There are times when they are nice. There are times when they aren’t worth it. The typical awning is valuable for keeping the side of the coach in the shade. If the coach is oriented just right relative to the sun the awning might even provide shade when sitting outside in the lawn chairs but not always.

    Relative to other items on the coach awnings are maintenance hogs. Anyone with the middle version of the ZipDee awnings will tell you they need to be maintained properly or they will not work. The manual awnings that look like the air / electric ones were pretty reliable and probably offer more real shade than any other awning because you can adjust them to be very low when extended. The latest model awnings appear to be reliable (except for moisture in the ZipDee motors) but they are mounted so high they are mostly ineffective in providing shade unless the sun is coming from the driver’s side of the coach. Then it is the coach that offers the shade.

    If I had a coach with the air / electric I would change them out to the original mechanical awnings.

    I now have the latest model ZipDee awnings and they are OK, but in the 2 1/2 years I have owned the coach I don’t think I have extended them more than 5 or 6 times. It is not practical to consider upgrading a coach that has awnings with arms to the latest version of awnings. There is a lot of structural work required and the cost is substantial.

    for about 2 years and, so far, so good. My wife likes to do her own plotting and often times uses Google Maps and we run them side by side. Almost always the same directions.

    Rand McNally has just now released the latest version. It is now the RVND7730 and Good Sam’s unit is the 7735.

    A GPS is a great tool and will make navigation a lot easier. But you do still have to watch your surroundings and pay attention to where you are going.
