Jon,

Thanks, looked like a roll pin, just could not be sure. Trying to be carefull.

[Peter]

not sure of the spelling but it was Rick May who was talking about it from parliament. Something like Snead or something like that. He was saying it was a self leveling sealant he used in the housing market years ago, and still uses it in the motorcoach side of things.

[Peter]

Looks great. Who did the upgrade? What is CTC ?

Richard,

One thing to be sure of when installing an inverter is to keep those circuits powered from the inverter isolated from shore or generator power.

With the switch you describe you should have an “off”, “shore power” and “generator” position. I suspect you may also have a 4th position for the inverter, but if not you need a switch that will support the inverter position, or a means of isolating the circuits powered by the inverter from the others and thru the electrical panel a means by which you can run 120V to (and thru) the inverter.

If you are comfortable with electrical circuits this will not be a big deal, but if you are not, take the coach to someone that is.

The hardest part will be running wires from the 120V panel to and from the inverter.

I think what you are doing is a great idea and not especially difficult, but a lot of things have to be considered to avoid problems, all of which can be very serious and even dangerous if not avoided.

Is it 12v or 24v? if 12v a Ford Pickup light switch from the 1970’s and 80’s.

My bus as build the same time as yours, what is your vin# mine is M1838?

I’m in Texas also and would like to know. Administration, would this type of information be better on the private forum?

[Peter]

Maybe a non slide 40 footer would fill the bill for them Tom. It sure works for us

[Peter]

Hi… we went from an “05 4 slide Navigator to a ’98 2 slide Vantare H3-45… quite honestly the Vantare feels bigger… the slides are deeper I think and with the big windows it feels huge inside…Wouldn’t go back to a plastic coach for anything.

Very tasteful. Very nice looking.

[Peter]

Thanks Jon,I did not know where it was I just knew that it was in the steering bay,after I get the picture I will verify with meter.

If you can draw or get a sample of the cross section you can do an internet search for rubber gaskets. There are hundreds of stock shapes available from a multitude of suppliers.

But keep in mind that the shape may also be proprietary. A company like Prevost can design a shape that suits their needs and to get that shape in quantity they pay for the tooling. That means nobody can buy material from that tooling so it might be you will have to accept a shape that is close but not exact. At that point you become the designer.

[Peter]

Richard, I can only suggest that your blockage is prior to both the Prevost aux air part of the pneumatic system and the converter part of the aux system which is why I have suggested the protection valve.

To find where the pressure starts (or ends) you have to crack some fittings until you get to the point where you have pressure on one side of a device and not the other. That isolates the blockage. On my 3 coaches the protection valve (which I still suspect) had a plastic label marked converter or converter air. That label was at the protection valve and indicated a point downstream of the valve where the converter could tie into the system. Maybe you still have that label or tag, and if so that the valve.

thanks every one ,, Glen bring it to ranch we will get it right some how
