I have a switch/light above the shore line connections (one on each side).

My other lights along the side come on with the cargo lights switches. These lights with the white buttons dont come on with those cargo light switches (so they are on seperate circuits for my coach).

Porch light.

Bus 29. Maryland

Bus 30 Alrlington Tx

Bus 31, or 32-only one vin number- long story-neither identified to be labeled 31 or 32, not both. One of shell orders canceled, numbe count not change

Bus 33 Holidaysburg, PA. Lots of orange paint

Bus 34 is ours, numerically the last one, Bus 33 was last incline completed

So, there you know the count, and it continued.

Treedoc, if you see it again, look for vin on defroster vent louvre. I can then, compare to list since Beaver converted them pretty much in order of shell production. There were standardized floor plans, but most were special order, and priced in realm of half million dollars between 1990-to-End of 1992 Total conversion run, 33 busses, all 40 ft XL with 8V-92DDECs. Beaver Coach, Bend Oregon, created no other busses earlier, but two XLIIs showed up at 2002 balloon festival, but wer rebadged Royales later.

Yes. It sounds like the valve is bad, but I think you are leaking through the Norgren 5 port valve. Look there first because air to the ride height valve should have been blocked.

I believe your ride height valves are the fast acting because you have IFS and ping tanks. They are square bodied black plastic, whereas the time delay Haldex ride height valves are a cast metal irregular configuration.

Do you have moisture in the aux system? It sounds like the Norgren is not fully closing if you can hear air.

I was thinking that I purchased Mobil SHC 630 at Advanced Auto for less than $20 a quart. I just did a web search and found it from $17 to $27 dollars a quart.

Great info Andre, maybe we should add to articles?

[Robert]

In everyone’s profile they have the option of receiving emails so if a member allows it anyone can communicate with them that way.

We discussed PMs way back when we were trying to design the forum and the web site and decided based on past experience PMs were not really private and adding that feature opened up access to members that might compromise their personal information. We have some folks on the site whose identity needs to be kept private and we don’t want to do anything that might compromize their anonymity. Tom and I and others had personal information go public and we did not ever want a repeat of that.

The private forum was not a substitute for PMs, emails or other forms of private information but was intended to allow friends ot have the kinds of discussion not visible to all.

Hey this is just a thought but maybe some pointers on which electrical parts historically give trouble and which ones we should carry spares for. just a thought.

[Robert]

Robert,

You might want to talk to Prevost service to see if they recommend replacement of the air dryer. It could be the governor or the pressure relief valve or even something else. Whatever it is you are going to hear the leak so if you can hook it up to shop air and safely get beneath the coach you will know exactly where the problem is. Don’t rule out anything including a failed relay valve.

I mention the replacement of the air dryer only if it is the culprit because your particular type with the bottom snap ring has been replaced by dryers with spin on cartridges which are much easier to service.

[Robert]

Thanks Jon. I will try that.

[Robert]

Peter,

Sounds like horses aren’t the only thing you can get to do what you want.

I am in awe of your ability to change out, repair/replace, whatever on your coach!

Please keep posting along with pictures if possible.

[Robert]

Never had to do it Bill, but assume that would work. The reason I mentioned the P-Trap getting sucked dry, when we would get pumped out while at the Nascar races it always happened and we would have to get water back into the traps.

[Robert]

Forgot to mention. My garage and pit is perfect. Perfect if I had a 40 foot coach. With a 45 it is still better than a poke in the eye with a sharp stick, but now my 45 foot coach covers the steps so getting under it and down into the pit isn’t so easy. My point is add another three feet if you have the space for when you trade for a 45 footer.

[Robert]

The length needs to be equal to the distance from the rear bumper to the bulkhead infront of the drive axle.

I’m assuming to service the front you need to reposition the coach.

Allow space beyond the rear bumper for steps or a ladded to get into the pit.
