Jon, thank you for the confirmation! That just solidifies our decision to steer clear of that coach.

Andrew: play with that site PCar a little more and check coach specific changes by unit number. In the Articles listing on this site is a good general description of how systems(puematic) air systems work. The enlargement and lamenting cost me 10 dollars..I use dry erase markers to mark any changes made for system.Also for what it’s worth there were very little mods made to system for years. Under articles search prevost leveling system Bob

A long handled brush for washing, old towels for drying and a California duster to brush off the lint when it dries.

This is the switch I have.

I had something similar happen to me. Turned out to be my transfer switch. It finally just quit making the transfer. I am away from my records right now, but the older transfer switches were just not beefy enough to handle the load and the manufacturer engineer I spoke with recommended their new model. That solved my problem. Just have to start probing.
I think the company may have been Progressive Dynamics out of Marshall, MI which interestingly enough is about 15 minutes from my home.
Good part about new model is that it is build better.
Bad part about new model is that it is built differently and I had to relocate it and run new wiring.

Bill, I’m not sure I want to do this again…although it would be quicker the next time! I do a lot of different projects, but this project has been the most complex by far. I was supposed to be building my bus barn last year, but now I’m building the bus! Minor setback.

Funny how you all only take one side of the story and run with it. Mr.Ben was supposed to send a non refundable deposit of 1k which he claimed he did via zelle that never came in or cleared and the. After calling my bank it was never sent. Then he sent it via PayPal which was held and never released. But I don’t have to come here and cry about it to everyone. Ben is just upset that I canceled the transaction/sale and is crying out to you all. I never received a cent from Ben nor took a cent from him. I wish Ben would be local to me so we could have a conversation how men do. I’m not going to entertain this any further anyone that knows me knows who I am and I have giving away equipment to members on this site that is worth thousands of dollars. I don’t need money nor need to take anyones money.

I realize this closing the barn door after the horses got out, but not a penny should ever change hands until the coach is inspected. There are endless scams now because of the internet and it has been reported on PC that photos of the same coach have been posted on multiple sites by people representing themselves as owners, when in fact they are not.
I hope this works out for you, but I think you need to get the police involved, sooner rather than later. I am not optimistic.
As a side note when I was verifying potential members I rejected as many applicants to PC as those I provided with passwords. It was incredible how many applicants had URLs from countries known to have a high incidence of scams, like China or Eastern Europe, and how many domestic URLs had addresses that were in the middle of a forest in Oregon (thanks to Google Earth for their satellite views). As a result of seeing so many phony PC applicants I no longer trust anyone unless I can verify them.

This is why I asked if you had the Marathon books.
Where you are confused is the Techlink screens do not show anything on the Prevost side. The pro driver screen showing 11.9 is chassis only forget about techlink for now.
I think you did not understand what the tech meant. In order for the jump start button to work you must have key in on position and hold jump start button for about 10 seconds and if you watch your gauge on pro driver it will go up to about 13.5 volts. Chassis batteries are being flooded by house batteries. As soon as you let go of the button it quits you have to depress to function.You will never see more than 14v on the chassis side.
Again all this is explained in your books. Remember Techlink shows only Marathon installed house items.
Pro driver shows Prevost side and you will learn how to differentiate the two.
Techlink is showing amps being pulled and ac coming in on shore or gen.
A lot of info in archive here about Marathon stuff. Who was the tech you spoke too?
My 07 which I had almost 10 years I never had a battery tender for the chassis. Back in that era of 04 thru about 2012 there wasn’t a good tender on the market so Marathon did not install any because guys were cooking the batteries with an overcharge. Now is different. You need to learn what is on the 12v prevost side that hampers killing your chassis batteries. 1 big offender is the basement lights which back then were all halogens which ate power, change to leds.

Looks like a decent setup based on your needs. Many of the Prevost buses used a twin bosch alternator setup.
I’ve switched to the 24 volt AIR COOLED 50DN conversion. I have road air and I’ve put about 125,000 on this gen in high heat conditions.
