Do not make the pit deeper than 4′ unless you are much taller than me.

At that depth I can reach and work on 95% of whatever needs access from below. If you make it deeper you will need to work from a 2 step ladder or even a taller one.

You need your feet planted on the floor, especially when struggling with anything that needs you to pull pretty hard to remove. The transmission filter on my 87 was an example of that. Sitting on my butt on the barn floor all I would do is spin myself. From the pit however I could wedge my feet and legs against the pit and get sufficient torque to loosen the filter.

Even with a 4 foot pit you will need a step stool to reach things like the 3 port Norgrens on the frame, or the items driven off the accessory case on your engine.

Al,

I’m going to replace all of mine, I thought about mounting a separate reflector , if I can find one that looks right. I’ll post pictures once I’m done.

[Robert]

Thanks guys,

I did exactly what you described when I tried to post pics on the last thread, but for some reason after the picture uploaded I was unable to post. Might have been a communication error cause it is working now.

What a bunch of great feedback. My thought process is when traveling I would like to see the places and hopefully be aware of what is local to the area we are traveling thru. When the Mrs says let’s stop at that mall, I can stop and do my 15 minute browse, then go back to the coach and relax, check the local attractions on the internet or do whatever. I want to create a travel mode of sightseeing without a schedule. Maybe like not driving more than 6 hours in any day. With that said I don’t want to set myself up for not being able to find a campground/resort where I can stop, get into, relax, meet people. Boondocking at Walmart, rest stop, SUPER Walmart (for Jon). I’m suspecting that Boondocking is not necessarrily where I want to spend 16 hours of relaxation meeting wonderful people. making this statement tongue in cheek.

the resource of this Site/forum is so informative that it clearly has the ability to address member concerns, I am 1000% more confident that I can own a Prevost coach successfully.

Now just trying to figure out how I can use it in a way that we enjoy it, I’m not for creating the wheel if I have access to great folks with the a wheel.

Prevost use from a size / access point of view is so specific, if the membership here created a data base it would be real owner input. No guessing.

Would not have to hope for the best going by the generic sources that are currently available. Ex. Woodalls, PA, Allstays, we camp here, RV Parks, among others.

Hope to meet PC members at the Tampa Prevost show January 13 & 14th.

thanks for all information / experience that I am able read and take in.

How can we create one and not make it a public one? If I travel out 60 mile radius from my home and visit local campgrounds and see if they would be a fit for one of your coaches. What keeps a internet person from making that list available to 10,000 people thus far making those spaces not available for pc members who need them..Lots of campgrounds may only have 2 or three spaces that may hold a 45 fot coach or low hanging limbs I may be able to observe… Ideas??

Glad you system is OK and made it out without issues. See you in St. Augustine next week, drive carefully.

We left Michigan 5 years ago on November 1st OK. but returned on the first week of April and guess what 4 Inches of snow met us just south of Toledo OH. From that date on I made it a point never to come back to Michigan before May and never to stay pass mid October.

Mine is on slide tray , I think the stops look like flat piece of steel bent in a L and welded to top of frame at back that’s what stops the slide I think , usually they say there are two screws one on each side mine does not seem to have those , I may be able to remove air cleaner and unbolt power box with breakers in it and move it to side and get in there if the slide would come out six more inches I could fit I think !!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Robert]

Us too! Merry Christmas to y’all! Anxiously awaiting April at Lazy Days!

Peter,

Not sure if your generator is on a slide but mine is. I bought a die cart (flat cart on wheels that can be raised by pumping a hydraulic cylinder with your foot). I removed the slide stop and rolled the generator out onto the cart, after removing only the flex exhaust at the turbo outlet. I rolled it out and beside the coach for access to re-insulate the hush box. My blower motor is not behind the generator but I thought it might give you an idea on how to get the generator out of your way. Hope it helps.

[Robert]

Darrell,

It’s jst a bulb change out, no wiring or changes needed.

[Robert]

Peter Sounds like you may have the hire a helper monkey. I hear they work for peanuts or was the bananas.

I know I’m not helping. Rick

Satin black would look better.

I just did not want to hit the adjacent body when sanding so I thought removing them would be better. The issue is these are also the body color and allot of it. I am afraid the paint will pull from around the frames. I thought about scoring the paint all around the edge of the frames with a drywall knife first.

If I can get the frames off I might even have them anodized satin black.

[Robert]

In my previous post I mentioned that switch but it is not operating the lights. So it sounds like it should be so I’ll need to do some diagnostics then. thanks

[Robert]

Rick,

Nice up grade, really looks good

[Robert]

I was originally going to run the coach and generator exhaust out the roof but my rear Cruisair is right in the way. Almost bought a Wonderlodge just because they run the exhausts out the roof where they belong. If the skin on them were stainless that would be my choice.

As far as partitioning the tip, that is a good idea but I am not running a rectangle tip,,,,, it is 8″ Round. Just finished testing today and it works great,,, no back pressure or vacuum to spin the generator turbo.

Completed the install to the rest of the generator exhaust after testing the short pipe and the generator exhaust comes straight out about 18″ above the ground so we no longer will blacken the grass from the turn down tip it had.

Wish I could post some before and after pics but still having trouble posting pics.

Thanks to all for the ideas and conversation. Have a great holiday season.
