C’mon Freddy, it’s time for a bus. You’ve had your Magna 13 yrs., so an uprade is in your future!

Jon’s spot on. I travel that route extensively and often use his technique of tucking in behind a slower truck. Once that’s taken care of, relax and enjoy the drive. Slow down thru the tunnels. If there’s an incident you want to be able to stop within your line of site. Have fun!

I had a gen-start problem last winter. I traced it to a $50 toggle switch on the front panel of the gen. They can go bad/wear out.
I could not start coach from inside or on front panel. Took the front panel off and pulled old toggle off. Swithed it out with a new and have had no issues since.
It was the on/off toggle.

Bobbie and I are in Colorado but read about your battery problems. Have you got it under control? We are headed to CA

We got a regular GE Microwave/Convection and LOVE it. We cook and bake a lot, and had this microwave/convection at home. I can bake two cookie sheets of cookies in it, and for baking anything, it takes just about the same amount of time as a “regular” oven. Microwave features work well, too. We purchased it on sale at Sears, brought it to Signature, and it was installed in no time. 🙂

Ditto what Andre said, may be set to autostart that could disable the manual start.

OK where would that be? There is an electronics box right on the gen. that has breakers on it but I dont think it opens up.

I am having toilet problems as well. Microphor LF-210 flush activator (handle) is broken, it is currently duc taped but this is only temp fix. Have a price of $270 for a replacement handle. Would it be wiser to follow the above advice and just replace this entire air toilet with a Tecma RV toilet? and if so which is the best model?

Anyone have experience with having to re-boot Techlink often…like couple times a day? Are thier firmware updates available for Techlink (will ask Marathon, but wanted to see if anyone else had issues)

yes Jon that is right up there with my experience with a service writer. He told me that my turbo on the Excursion went out because I pull it behind my bus and it get all the dirt from the road. LOL That was a real eye openner for me.

Mine is Vertically mounted, with the controls at the bottom thats the way my Gaggenau is mounted and configured. Hopefully I’ll have it in a few days so I can report back on the installation.

Double K … what vintage Prevost are you looking for? After buying our coach in April/May I found a good deal on what looks like a nice coach. email me and I’ll send you a link: dkarth@execpc.com
Prior to negotiating with our seller … I talked to Jon and I think Charles. They told me what I see posted: prices have firmed over the winter, a coach is worth only what a seller will sell for and a buyer will buy for. If you have found
“the right bus” … don’t lose it over a couple of grand.Our seller couldn’t produce ANY maintenance records beyond dates, mileage, and Hobbs time on oil and trans fluid filters. Jeff Rowe was able find out what was done recently at Liberty in North Chicago and I was able to pry some information out of Buddy Gregg in Knoxville and a big truck shop the previous owner used in South Bend … just fluids.
Fortunately Jeff kept repeating the same thing: With no records, presume nothing has been replaced and everything needs replacing. Factor that into the deal, which I did.
Maintaining a list of as many “list prices” as possible over time is at least a place to start in trying to value something. But you need more than just “list price”. What kind of adjustments needs to be made for tires, batteries, whatever isn’t working, what is the TV situation, has the carpet been replaced, what is the condition of the interior and exterior, etc., etc. etc. Like like a house appraiser does … make the adjustments.
Anyone keeping that list is creating value to the buyers and the sellers in the market at anyone time. Big job. I think at one point last fall RV Trader had 140 (????) Prevost listed for sale. Add POG, PC, eBay and Craigslist listings and it starts to get close to 200 for sale across the country. Big list.
Slides: I did not want slides for various reasons. Interestingly we just spent five days at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway in the motorhome lot. Lots of great comments about our Prevost and Jack Finch’s. Once some of the neighbors drank enough courage in the evenings they started to ask for tours. One couple has recently purchased a 36 to 38 foot S&S motorhome with slides. The wife commented that slides are really wonderful until they won’t slide back in which apparently has happened to them more than once!
One of the biggesting things that surprised me during our search are the Prevosts for sale on Craigslist and only Craigslist. That is where we found the one we bought as well as another we had interest in.
