Tom, On the third step up, on the right, there’s a 10×7? Rectangular grill. Take it off with 4 screws and pull the loop sticking out of the left side of the hole. That’s the filter. It should slide right out. If I can, I’ll post a pic later.

[Ron]

Where is the dash air filter located?

[Ron]

I don’t think it’s a scam.CL ad, points to a face book page with a lot more photos of the coach.closer looks show its aged and not in the best condition, as well as was an entertainer coach so no bedroom. Well loved. The price gets a decent start for someone willing to do some major remodel.

Michael….you did notice the mileage at just a fraction under 400K miles on a 8V-92 engine.

[Ron]

FullTimeBill, what is the Prevost part#?

I’m sure there are inexpensive valves available that will do the job.

[Ron]

Al is correct. You need an alignment and the last step is usually to center the steering wheel.

“A Prevost I can afford will be close to 20 years old. I don’t worry about other parts because I am quite handy, mechanically adept and have tools, so I feel I could deal with most electrical, plumbing, etc issues myself. I have never dealt with pneumatics before, though. Just want to avoid surprises on the road until I get a handle on that.”

You may be handy, but as the coaches get older and older the parts begin to cease to exist. I have a valve that’s no good, Prevost has no replacement part and no suggestion as to how to get my heat working again. I don’t think you are going to be able to build the right valve or modify one to work with the existing Prevost wiring so there could well be times you are simply going to be SOL and have to figure out a work-around that’s at least somewhat acceptable.

[Ron]

Thanks for your replies, folks. Very helpful and very thorough, as always in this community. It looks like I will be headed to Mira Loma next month.

The symptom was a small puddle of fuel left on the ground where I parked to check in to an RV park. I had just filled the tank prior to arriving at the park. I used an oil pan to catch the drips while I was in the park. After burning off some fuel on the way to the next stop, there was no more leakage. This led me to suspect the gasket. My plan is to not fill the tank completely until I get to LA.

Tom,

Actually it’s not as hard to replace as you would think. The connection is all the way on the Passenger side of the coach on in the water bay… where all the valves our on our Marathon. We had our changed out after our big trip as it was pretty well worn out and showing signs of failure / leaks. I watched a marathon monday with mal where the engineer guys said not to extend it all the way out with the air… they suggested just giving it one hit and then pulling it out manually as far as you need it… so that is what I do… after I had it replaced and before I saw that video I blew the cap of the end twice because it was working too well.

Hope your enjoying the new coach

Bill

You a short fella? That ceiling fan looks like a eyebrow remover.

[Ron]

Colt, don’t know anything about that coach. I have seen it for sale elsewhere (you can’t miss that carpeting). Keep in mind that when you buy from Bradley that it is up to the buyer to do everything as far as determining the condition and what might be needed. They are not set up to do or find what a given coach may need. They may have some history, but basically they clean them and take pictures. That said, there have been good buys from him. Geo.

Hello, a few years ago I asked Prevost the how much weight I could put in the bay on my H3. The rep for conversion shells called me and said they do not reccomend putting more than 1,000 lbs in each bay. I was going to put my generator and water tanks in the same bay. After the conversation I moved the generator to a different bay. Water is about 8 pounds per gallon.

Thanks, Bandsaw

I know that when new freon was introduced that it was tried and was decided that you had a harder time getting temps/splits….therefore anything that was using the “new” freon was converted back over to 22….

I haven’t tried in years to run anything other than 22, so I do not know for sure anymore…

[Ron]

I use a California Duster attached to the end of a 5 foot (or so) piece of 1″ PVC pipe with a PVC T. I slide the handle of the Duster through the T and inset a pin to prevent the Duster from spinning. Then I walk (on the ground … no ladder) along the side of the coach with the gizmo wiping off the slide top. Disassemble and stow in 30 seconds. It’s spray painted silver and looks and works like million bucks. I’ll make you one for 1/2 $ mil.

[Ron]

But Dan, tsunami could be a different strategy for changing buses again. 🙂
