Congrats Peter:
I saw her last week while taking delivery of my “new to me” coach. When do you anticipate taking delivery??

Davy beat me to it. I was going to post photos that showed the same thing. And the stems were supported with the grommets that are supposed to stop the strain and flexing. They do neither.

No question you’re better off selling it yourself Dean, I got the impression you were looking for someone to replace the dealer that didn’t get the job done. The problem with listing it with the dealer you chose was they have a yard full of new and used and the consignments get little attention. The sale folks always push the buyer to something that makes them more money.
I’ve sold more than I care to admit, plastic and Prevost and if you can do it yourself, you’re better off.

On a 1996 prevost it has one , prevost had service bulletin on it . It was stated that they said it was not needed and could be removed and capped off at steering bay and remove hoses , or rebuild it or new one they say it will not drive any different with it on or off your choice , I think about 17000 for complete one or just cylinder no tie road ends 7500 , not sure on rebuild kit call prevost Nashville ask them yours maybe different than mine. Mine has a SFA

I have a question for Jon & Tom, / et all with experience. When you have tpm system, do you rely on that totally, or you also manually check on a per trip and to what extent do you do that check.
-
This is not of such a large assist but please know that when we got the coach from storage in November, the chassis batteries were kaput. We put in new NAPA type 31’s at that time.
The coach was immediately driven to Nashville where I presume you found it. -
Tracy,
Can you be more specific? Do you mean the window gasket which is available from Prevost or are you talking about an interior piece?
-
Of course I could but you know how people go to sleep when I start talking. Must be the Boston accent.
Hey speaking of which, have you seen the movie TED with Mark whalberg? If so I got a surprise for you at Tampa. No no , you are gonna have to wait. If you havent seen it I will bring it and you and Nancy can watch it there.

I know I had an inside drive axle tire valve stem start to leak on me just recently. I checked the pressure at the start of a trip home, it was a little low, filled it up and went on my way. The tire was 100% deflated when I got home and I didnt notice till I went to go out again. Tire had no pressure at all and when I went to fill it, wouldnt take any air. Was thinking it was a tear or something as it wasnt a puncture (they generally hold some air and you can hear the leak).
Thinking I was going to need a new tire, had a service company meet me and pulled the tire. Checked and no tear, rip, puncture. Filled it up (set the bead) and checked for leaks on the bead. None, then checked the valve stem seal and sure enough. Replaced that and was good to go. But who knows how long it was leaking on that trip home and how low it had gotten?
I will be buying a TPMS system for the coach (and one that allows the ability to monitor a trailer with different pressure warnings) in the next few months. THat would have at least warned me that I had a low pressure situation and possible risk of danger. Without that I only knew about it on my next pre-trip inspection (which is a good reason to do one, no matter how short your trip will be).

My theory only.
No tire monitor on board or the driver wasn’t paying attention.
Driver ran it down until it was hot enough to start on fire, and puff, it’s to late. Driver couldn’t find the fire ext quick enough, maybe.
Everybody inside smelled something funny and thought it was the new bag of ganji.

Thanks a lot Roger, I will definitely put them down on the list. It sounds like a tourist attraction itself. LOL

Repeat after me:
For chassis service see Prevost
For engine service see the manufacturer of the engine
For transmission service see the manufacturer of the transmission
For conversion service see the converter.
Repeat as often as required to understand the concept.

Tom,
Thanks for allowing me to state a discenting opinion and taking the time to reply. I am very happy with your decision to discontinue the cast of thousands rallies. They are a tremendous amount of work for Nancy, you and Jon and Di. I don’t remember it being a requirement that the rally organizers can’t have as much fun as the rest of us. Besides you fellas are getting on in years and we need to encourage you to take care of yourselves.
Our own preferences are for smaller rallies that have little or no formal plan. Brain picking seminars can easily be accomplished ad hoc and it seems like there is much less stress when there is no formal schedule of events. And yes, we would be just as likely to travel coast to coast to attend one or even two if they were scheduled with a conveniently short interval between them.
That said, an annual Prevost Grand Rally sounds like a great idea. Seems to me the big bucks players should take the lead in organizing same. They, after all, would derive the most potential profit from such an undertaking. I would hope that PC, The Prouds, Texas Prouds, and POG would all participate as invitees.

DKO, thanks, I read your other site.
I was just wondering why would you want to change to the front door now? It makes a nice emergency exit I guess.
If you make steps in the front, would you keep the mid door?
