If this is discontinued, how long will parts be available for the older coaches?
Maybe a better question would be…..what do I do if I need to replace a unit? Are any complete units still available or is it just parts?

Yep, Jon. We’ll have to agree to disagree. And that’s okay.
I do fully understand the certification process from the OEM.
If I can get my fan start temps reprogrammed. I’ll let you know how it works out. If not, like Tom stated, I’ll just continue to drive and enjoy it.
You come from a manufacuring background, I think. So you likely agree that no one ever produces something that’s perfect. Often it’s better than good and well exceeds their customers’ expectation. Nonetheless, there is almost always room for improvements. Don’t read my statement about Prevost to think I don’t believe they did a better than good job; they did a really good job. I’m driving a Prevost because of that and that their product is far better than anything else I’ve seen.

I stopped by the coach today and put the new plates on. While there I checked the batteries. They are 4d lifelines. Codes as follows: bat1 679479 bat2 679480 bat3 679480 bat4 677875 bat5 679481 bat6 677871 bat7 677872 bat8 677873.

Before I started this thread I tried to get to the back of the mount from the inside. There is no way with tearing
the inside of the coach apart, just on easy access from inside.So I tried as Tom suggested a wedge. What I used was a pry bar you would use to take nails out of a board.
This got the antenna base tight enought. I took the bar out and will make a wedge out of steel. After installing the wedge I’ll silicone around the outside edge. Rick -
That unit appears to be a Firestik M-2 sidemount as below:
There does not appear to be an easy solution except to expose the mounting bolts on the back. The top one is the center conductor of the coax which would be isolated from body contact by the non conductive washer while the other one is the coax ground.

I bought two quarts. I had no idea how much I might need. The dipstick was almost dry. It was barely wet on the bottom. I was putting it in slowly because I did not know the size of the reservoir. The first few ounces brought it up to the add line and a quart brought it to about nearly full.
I am planning to drive about 250 miles tomorrow night. I will check it after the trip. I figure that since it was pretty low the system may take the reservoir down some more.
Thanks,
DKO

Just take cap off should be a dip stick attached to it. Fill to level. Doesn’t look like it has been disturbed for awhile. Bob

Just reading what Larry said makes me think about how a company could make a commercial vechicle that you can’t put fuel into with getting soaked or creating a hazardous spill?

Hi Al and all,
here is a link to my Picasa album containing a couple of more photos as well as the video clip.

I hope this works. Let me know, after the ringing has stopped in your ears.

Sorry about your $100.

The push in fittings are always suspect to me. If you soap them wiggle them a little they might just start leaking. I’m not a big fan of them. Suppose to be latest and great! But I’m finding occasional leaking—- I’m changing mine back to old school for dependability. My opinion. easy check. Bob

My 99 Country Coach has 4 of these valves. 2 installed by Prevost, 2 by CC. 2 are used to shut off Prevost dash heat and the other two for the hot water heat exchangers. I forget which ones, but one set also goes through the Webasto heating system, I think the ones going to dash heat.
In case, both valves on a given loop should be on or off. You might want to look a bit harder and see if you have 2 more.
