I joined PC to gain the knowledge of a membership when I decided to purchase my old girl. A community that cares for each and every member is one that grows and prospers. PC is that forum.
i have had PC members call me on a regular basis just to check in on me and my old girl. They care. They really care.
We are a small, select group but with large hearts. Our collective knowledge is and concern for our fellow Prevost owners is what sets us apart.
Great job to our founders on bringing PC to life and making sure none of us get too big for our britches.

Good for you Tom, communication is the least someone should expect. Telling them to let the door hit them in the hindquarters is exactly right! People who don’t know how to run a business shouldn’t be in business. Just my 2 cents worth!
Well done Tom,
Harry

You are correct, Tom. I think we all need to be able to trust our bus. I agree to be in certain places at certain times because I can trust the bus. I try to build in extra time, not only for mechanical fluctuations, but for the sake of myself and my family.
A sudden shut down that is unexplained, but starts working can change that. I am very thankful it did crank and run, but All day yesterday I kept waiting for the hammer to drop.
Sorry about the font in the last two posts. I copied some notes over and I suppose I brought the font with me. I could not see how to change the font on the forum here late last night. In the light of day, it looks annoying. (Hey, I may have fixed it.)

I cannot get rid of my flip phone, and I sure don’t plan on turning it on unless I want to make a call.
I’ve seen how all you slaves to your smart phones have given up large parts of you life so you don’t miss a single call, get weather updates, texts, watch TV, etc. You all just want me to be as miserable as all of you are never enjoying the freedom of not being “connected”.
Tom has to have the printer because as long as he is not giving me any of the dues money, at least he can work a little in exchange for keeping his share and mine.

While I use the Love’s card we obtained through the PC Forum as often as the price is “good”, I find ourselves buying fuel off the interstate. Sometimes only a few hundred yards like Weigel’s just off the I-40/STH 72 interchange on the way to ETLC. We’ve stopped there a few times and have saved substantially over the heavily discounted price at Love’s with the card. Only downside at Weigel’s is they don’t have a truck pump so the fill is a little slow and they stop each fill at $100. I suppose if I went in I could tell them $500 and not have to recard every $100.
Using GasBuddy we watch for fuel prices from the Interstate to the campground and back as well as on the non-Interstates we seem to travel on quite a bit. On our recent trip from Wisconsin to Florida we filled up at the Citgo near our house using their truck island (its almost always the least expensive in the area) went to central Florida on a single tank of diesel; filling up at a truck island in a small town. Turns out another hour down the road we found diesel a little less expensive in Polk City, FL.
I won’t “chase fuel” off the Interstate, but I won’t restrict myself to the big chains on the Interstate either.
Over the last 4.5 years of owning a coach and being cognizant of diesel prices, it seems the price differential between big chain truck stops on the Interstate and the “local” stations in town has widened. I don’t know if others have a sense for that or not.

We have a Liberty Coach, so we don’t have the problems in cold weather that some of the rest of you have.
We have only one electric toe kick heater, and a number of heat exchangers and fans for the Webasto heat. We’ve recorded 2*F and 3*F and the Webasto kept us very, very warm in the coach. I have to qualify those experiences in that (1) we don’t have slides (which I suspect shed enormous amounts heat) and (2) it wasn’t very windy those nights.
I suggest that your friend go through that list of Jon’s to make sure the Webasto system is working as designed by whoever the converter was. Another problem could be a clogged line like one of the posters referenced. There is another thread on that subject.
How long has your friend owned his or her coach.
A Prevost coach (at least ours) is truly an all weather coach. The only thing we’re missing in ours is heated floors. If we ever do anything to the floors, they are going to be heated!!
I suspect that as soon as Dan Hilger gets the shoes put away, he’ll be checking in to discuss using their coach snowmobiling in Wyoming at -20*F.

Well done Harry you ole buzzard, made us smile…

Glad you found him. He has lots of documentation on all of the coaches Legendary built. He has helped me many times in the past with questions and even came out here the first winter we owned the coach to do some work on it for me. I had to pay of course, but it was worth every penny.
I am pretty sure he can answer any questions you may have. Good luck!

Generator radiator was indeed on the roof (at least it was on my 2008, coach 1026). The sewer valves are likely electric (Drain Master) and are to the rear of where the hose reel is. They are behind the shiny panels. There is good access to hook the dump hose up through a deck fitting. I had all roof airs so can’t help you on that. My generator was installed fore to aft and filters etc. were right there when you opened the door. Easiest oil changes ever. Getting at the starter was harder FWIW.
Dave Rousey is a very good source of info and did some work on mine. Last number I had for him is 541-543-7983 He worked for Legendary and has lots of information like color charts and build sheets.
Hey Roger, jump in and tell him how good that coach really is…..

Where would you find the angled brackets that the lights go into. Have 3 down each side on my 91 XL and they’re plastic and one or two are warped from the incandescent light heat over the years.

Did that a while back. The coolant system looked good but the isolated heater loop was not.
Jon, we’ve done every maintenance item we can think of. I just get my Social Security check sent to Jeff each month.

Al, it’s to add a hard-wired surge protector.
