Ron, I did the on-line thing to get quotes from every insurer I could find that ever used the word RV. I have previously had vehicles insured by Progressive such as my dump trucks. Neither my agent or I could get a quote.
Tom wasn’t joking. Besides zip codes there are a lot of factors insurance companies use to determine if they will offer or quote insurance one being age. That is why Tom is leaving God’s waiting room to see if he can get insurance due to his age. He is already acknowledging his advanced years by downsizing. His next will be the nursing home shuttle bus.

MemberSeptember 28, 2020 at 3:18 pm in reply to: A different look at lithium battery replacementJerry , on our coach all power is ran through the Inverters , so how would you deal with a situation as such ?
We also have 8 4D Lifelines . We also dry camp for extended time but unlike Dave I need to run the genny 2 hrs in morning and I like to also run 2 hrs in the evening . I never go under 70% or so . The way I understand it is you can only go 50% so many times so why do it . I also believe Vantare has the most quiet Genny box so to be honest what’s so wrong with running her a few hours a day .
Now one day I hope to have solar and LI just so like Jon i can say I do 🙂 and also help Tom for when heeds to repair that over the road truck lol

Does anyone know of any Prevost owners in the New York area?
I would like to reach out to them (if they don’t mind) as part of my quest and research of becoming a Prevost owner.

Poor Glen, The boy has so much money he’s decided to hold the great COVID-19 bus give-away! I remember a time when Glen was poor and humble. Ok, maybe not poor?

I’m having a terrible time with slide controllers. When I was in the process of buying the coach 6 months ago, both controllers had been damaged by a faulty voltage regulator. The controllers that were OEM to the conversion were “Gen 2” controllers. The previous owner ordered them to be replaced.
Apparently “Gen 2” controllers are no longer available (other than rebuilt) so my PO opted for the new (and improved) “Gen 3” controllers for both front and rear slides. In my 6 months of ownership, I’m on my second front slide controller and now 4th rear slide controller. The Prevost guys typically roll their eyes when they hear about issues with the “Gen 3” controllers which tells me there is a problem with the hardware.
Unfortunately, Prevost warranty on slide controllers only covers parts replacements and does not cover diagnosis and labor, so I’m stuck paying diag and install labor each time a controller fails. I will say, that the last time this happened, the service manager Goodwill’ed the labor, but this round looks like it’s on me again. $5950.
I have asked if Prevost can roll-back to the old Gen 2 controllers as I believe they are much more stable than the new version. Waiting to hear back from them with an answer.
One of the technicians told me they often have to send the “Gen 3” controllers out for repair, even when brand new and never installed.

Have you called the above guy Billy suggested?

Not being at the coach or seeing the origin of the leak I am speculating that your description of the leak at the red cap suggests the valve body is not sealing.
If you are certain the O rings are in place, not pinched or misaligned then I cannot think of anything else it could be. I have to admit to never having or having heard of a leak as you describe, but I have refreshed those valves with new ones on previous coaches before mine started leaking.

I didn’t use any teflon tape or pipe thread sealant on compression fit. Had zero leaks. Used pipe thread sealant on all new fittings on new bags and tanks. Replaced air lines also just for peace of mind.

Eugene,
You do have oil change service records, yes / no ?
If you changed your oil recently that would be a good place to start.
