I answered the other post first but see Mark has given good answers. I want to emphasize one that he mentioned. If you really have a bus with an unmaintained air system you could be in a world of hurt. So obviously get every tank drained, get a new element on the dryer. Check what Mark has pointed out.
If in fact you have copious amounts of water or moisture in the system get it out. It will not be simple or cheap unless you do your own work. And if the system is loaded with moisture you can almost bet all the air valves on the coach are going to be a future service issue and you will have problems that will make a grown man cry.

Harbor burnished oak for salon and tuscan amber for kitchen/ 1/2 bath area. Today also under dash and across entire front of bus added another layer of insulation covering up all exposed steel tubes (they transmit allot of heat and cold). Now ready to reinstall all the blowers and finish dash and pannel covering. Ready for SPRING! Bob

I only listen to AM.
On a clear night I can pick up WWVA and get great country music with hank Williams and Patsy Cline.
If it is really a good night I can get WABC on 770 out of the meadowlands of NJ. What’s FM?

Buddy, Buddy, Buddy, you just know they won’t let me put a CC emblem on that coach. I’d say more but then Gil would be picking on me again.
You’re just stirring the pot.
And I do think that rest area was just outside of Benson. Going back along I-40 now that the risk of snow seems to have gone away.

We traveled to Banff and Jasper a couple of summers ago. No problems with the length of near 65′. We stayed at Lake Louise trailer campground and Whistlers in Jasper. Both worked out just fine. Don’t miss the Icefields Parkway between Lake Louise and Jasper on your trip.
Our only slight delay was in crossing over into Canada. The Candadian Customs agent was absolutely positive we had to have a firearm given we have Texas plates. He tried to trip me up about 5 different ways into admitting it. I even told him I left it with a friend in Billings and he finally relented.

We are newer than most here to the Prevost world… we have been out full timing for almost 9 months and we have stayed in some real dumps and some amazing places… we wish there were more of the amazing places and less of the dumps but we are trying to hit 49 states in 14 months so we stay as near as we can to what we want to see. We haven’t really expierenced anything like Jon described… sure people take a look when we roll in. But its really no differnet than what I did before we bought a prevost…. people are curious and as long as they are respectful which everyone we have encountered has been I am fine with that. My 8 year old son and my wife are real talkers… they will talk with anyone….So when we stay anywhere for any length of time we end know “knowing” everyone around us which has really been a cool part of the trip. We have met several PC members…. PGA golfers and their familys and just about everything in between….

Jon,
I should have been more clear, I want to replace it with another Headhunter, only to change the color.
Just thought someone may have some tips on changing it out.

Hi Peter,
Your info is really helpful.
So far we have only the area defined.
Leaving Vancouver towards Calgary, then from Calgary up north to cariboo and then west towards to Prince Rupert and back south to Vancouver.
We are travelling with kids (9 – 14 years old), any cities or places to visit you can point us to would be appreciated.
Thank you,
Liz

Hi Peter, Can you tell me the
process for getting the bus across the border? Is it true that you need a manifest?
And what regulations are there with regard to licenses’ insurance etc. Is there
a place on line to explain the different requirements? I’ve never gone over the
border with my bus but I’d like to check it out. I really learn a lot from you
posts by the way!Thank you,
Fred

Polishing stainless skins is an art. Depending on condition it might have to start with sanding using 1500 and up wet sandpaper. Once buffing begins the key is to use the right rouge for the finish desired and NEVER let the surface get hot. Keep the buffer moving and keep the pressure and strokes consistent.
Mother and the round Mother’s buffing wheel will clean up the sirface a little, but it will not restore a finish with micro-scratches. The condition of the skin dictates the extent to which you must go. It is a lot of work and very dirty.
I have seen a couple of amateur re-polish jobs and they looked pretty bad. I have seen some that were great. An entire lower half of a coach can take several days. This is not an afternoon job.

Jack,
I’ll run that by Lifeline on Monday and report back to you. I think I know the answer, but would rather be accruate.

10 minutes on each side!! Really??
I prefer a super hot grill, sear both sides, and serve before the middle gets hot…
10 minutes on each side must be a well done pot roast…
