Pretty excited times coming your way Dave, you almost had a Christmas paint viewing.
Millennium is great to work with on our end, mention PC if you get the opportunity.

Let me get this straight… If you’re fast asleep counting Elegant Ladies in your Liberty and all of a sudden your better half tells you the floor is wet with running water. So you leap out of bed in your underwear, find a flashlight and run outside to turn off the water. Then you go back inside try to find the source of the leak. You find the cabinet under your galley sink is soaked with water. Now you get your screw driver and remove the panel under the sink and find a broken fitting on the supply side of the plastic shut off valve. You are now screwed until tomorrow and your better half is furious about no toilet, no sink water and no shower. Tomorrow will really be fun.
Now if you have the same problem with a Marathon and have identified the leaking pipe under the sink, you merely go outside to the plumbing bay to the plumbing manifold and turn off the galley sink, either hot or cold as needed. You’re better half is mildly inconvenienced, but all other plumbing fixtures are working fine.
Does that pretty much sum it up?

Same here, Happy Thanksgiving. We’re toughing it out in Bradenton, FL and it’s only getting to 82 today.

After having the 50 DN alternator rebuilt three times because of leaks, I replaced it with a air cooled unit and a newer multi-stage regulator. Jon can confirm this, but I believe the 50 DN charges the house batteries. If it goes out you can just run your generator to get you to where you can have it fixed.

I sent an email to Nick at Prevost asking if they had changed anything yet to allow my coach to utilize the electric cooling package. He said he would get back to me after he checked today to see if anything has changed or being looked at. He said it was not available so far because the VIP coaches are 500 hp and seated are 435.
I was told by Kevin Laughlin that it was the dashboard a/c condenser needing to be relocated that was the issue. Since the new VIP coaches are being built with the new cooling, I assume that Kevin is right, since they have relocated the condenser on these new coaches.
BTW, if I recall correctly, it takes someplace between 20 and 30 hours of labor to do the upgrade.

We use the Skyway bridge to St.Petersburg often and they close it to trucks and busses at 35mph and to autos at 45mph. I have been on it in the bus at 30mph and don’t like it. Geo.

Obviously I am revealing how frustrated I get at dealing with problems such as described and since I cannot stop trying to figure out what is going on I keep bouncing around in my brain pondering (a southern word).
My guess is this is not likely a power input issue, but might be related to an output on the ECM. Just for grins disconnect the ECM cables a few times to wipe corrosion off if that is the cause. The problem is if that is the cause you will never know for sure if it doesn’t shut down ever again.

Rear docking.

That switch will work. The top 2 terminals are for the light. Use one side of the switch the center terminal is common the outside ones are the for the other 2 wires. Is this switch a momentary switch? If the side in use fails you have a spare on the other side…

No, the shocks do NOT have to be removed to replace the air bags.
BUT, and a big but, is most of the work is done to replace the air bags, ie ,coach inside on the lift, etc. Changing the shocks do not take much additional time. This is a good example of what my previous post referred to as double dipping.
There is time included in the labor operation to include ticket writing, processing etc, moving the coach, lifting it, removing tires etc.
Hopefully smarter minds will prevail if enough folks go up the ladder as Jon suggests.
Prevost is a small piece of the Volvo Group, so it may not get the attention we think it should.

My coach has been there since the old system and now it has changed to the new system. The staff has been good and have given me discounts. My issue is the amount of hours, they say they will charge actual hours but obviously the only way to know for sure is me to be there during the repairs. Everything is finished except for the items listed above and they are closing out the invoice. So I am know thinking maybe I should just go down there and have them do the rest of the repairs while i wait and obviously they should be able to complete the job in half the time they have quoted. I am not trying to bash them and I would like them to do the work, I just want to be treated fair on the hours.

Art, way cool dude!

It’s frustrating Joe I know. I’m 45’ with antenna mounted dead center front above the windshield and I have not had one single error for a year and 14,000 miles. Others have put there’s in the same place and have trouble. Don’t know if it’s electrical interference or what.
Some have had good success with a mid coach mounting and others with a rear coach mounting line of site. You may want to try those locations and just mount temporarily to see if it works better.
Pressure Pro contacted me this week and said the repeater is close to being ready. Of course we’ve been hearing this for a year, but I think it’s close.
Hang in there…

The compressor unloader valves open. The compressor continues to rotate. No air is being compressed.
