Forget all that ‘planning’ stuff. What we really need is a red button on the home page of this site that immediately reaches Jon.

TSK, TSK. Jealousy is so ugly.

What specifically is it collecting, and how does it get there?
I understand you said water and oil, but from where? and is it pressurized. If it has air lines to and from it, where do they come from and where do they go?
And if it is pressurized why would they make it rectangular????????

I’ve been checking the water collection point in the prevost bay but after 3 weeks it only had a few ounces in it. This container was in the jun air bay. It was about 3/4 full this morning is I emptied it into a container and notice the liquid in it had a separation line like if you mix oil and water in a jar. After I emptied it I started thinking if it was a collectin container or was it a resivoir to draw from. I did add some oil to the compressor using the nut on top till the window showed full but before I turn it on I thought I better chech. It normally sits behind a divider in a small tray but I pulled it out to take a picture.

That sure got my attention. I have NEVER seen a tank or reservoir for a pneumatic system that was rectangular or square.
Tell us more.

Al did you do this for him while he was playing tennis??

called Buchanan, they had me call distributor in Tampa who told me 6 week lead time if it has to be made…. Wow, any other suggestions. I have a pic if I knew how to post it. They do not stock it because it is a “modified” valve

The Braun antenna that has been on 3 of my coaches has been a problem on every single one, to the point where I don’t even bother raising it because I don’t feel like climbing on the roof to manually send it “home”. I did that more than I wanted to on the first coach.
Having said that I find if I have the “booster” on, even with the antenna parked I still get decent over the air TV reception. I would like to see a side by side comparison of the two types of antennas to compare how they work because right now I consider the Braun on my roof to be little more than decoration.

I did look at that stationary antenna and also the stationary mounting base for the Jack antenna. My concern was if the reception would be good enough for the destinations we go.
Seems we are out in the “boonies” quite a bit with the offroad vehicles and only get one or two local channels when we are lucky so the reception is a little more important to us than folks that stay closer to areas with better reception. The areas we go also present the low branches concern so I would like to be as low as possible.
The Tracvision works great down the road and stationary, but my bride has a couple of “shows” she likes and I like to see the local news where we go. Directv has some rule about local channels outside the home location, even though we pay for local channels. Anyway, I am sure everyone has had that conversation and received the same lame excuses so I won’t elaborate any further.
I am still wondering if the Jack will have the reception we need. I bit the bullet and bought one this morning so we will see. I have a couple of places to compare the performance and will post with the results.
I am still surprised there are not any “star wars ” looking fancy stainless super antennas available. The antenna developement looks like it has stopped in the 60’s. I guess once they came up with the go down the road technology they thought that would make the off air antennas obsolete. Probably would have if the local channel laws were not in effect.

Ok I got the Elbow out .. but the leak appears to actually be at the guage side itself (see pic) The other guages release fine but this one is really stubborn and won’t let go of the hose at all. It won’t even turn when grabbed with pliers ..
I’ve shot its outside with PB to see if it will somehow sink in and break something loose .. otherwise I suppose I’m going to have to take the dash out to get at the guage better unless someone has a better suggestion. 🙁

Enjoying it even more now . Love the lines of the new toad but unsure about the color scheme.

Donnie Meyers is your man for Vantares or any Prevost for that matter.
Highly recommend him

American Carriage was a top notch coach the problem was Mark left people holding the bag on warranty work when he closed shop and it has hurt the resale of his coaches it pissed a lot of people off our friend in Phoenix paid a 1,185000 for him to build hers she still has it and loves but some systems she has had a problem finding somebody to work on it.He is still around doing service work but she will not take hers to him for repairs says she will park it first fwiw If the right deal came along I would buy one of his conversions
good luck

Have you checked with Amadas? I would start there because they may have a serial number specific set of documentation for the coach.

If what Robert suggests doesn’t do it, go to DOT compression fittings and your problem will be solved. You can also get DOT push in fittings, I’ve had good luck with those in place of the old brass that you have.
