Met a couple at Wolf Creek Run, Pagosa Springs, this past June who stated zero throttling using the Sprint / T-Mobile hotspot from FMCA. They added they use approximately 250 gigs per month.

I failed to find the double brace assembly in the Prevost Parts manuals. I did however, find 4 or 5 photos of Prevost coaches on the internet that had the double brace assembly. You might have to call the real Prevost Parts folks to get better information.

Hello Jon
low level works fine, drive mode the front goes up past the desired 11” mark by a few inch’s easy and the rear does not go up at all and this is with the bus running.

Oh My That Is Funny & Sounds Like The Truth. A Liberal Outlook At Most.

I assume you meant transmission fluid.
The fluid does require changes and on the 5 speed you have options as to the length of the intervals based on what you use for fluid.

That should help you decide your options

I am assuming you do not have OTR or a Webasto. Generally speaking you can open the 2 drain valves that are under the coolant lines to the lower left of the engine.
You will get most, but not all the coolant out. Some or all the coolant in the Aqua Hot heat exchanger and the front heater core may remain. As a percentage of the total cooling system volume it is very small, my guess being well under 10%.
Refill and bring the system up to temperature to assure it is circulating through the heater core and the AquaHot, and when you drain the second time only trace amounts of the coolant will remain.

It does Bernie, here’s a couple of pics.

You can’t fix stupid.

I thought only the ride height coil was 12v and the rest 24v for a Classic.

My “service” was to expose the latching mechanism and inspect it in great details to see if anything was loose, cracked or subject to breaking. It was OK.
But because stuff happens I added a nylon strap from the last part of the door release mechanism and ran it to a point at the bottom corner of the window glass so to open the door all I have to do is lift it from inside the coach, or if I am outside to lower the entry door toll window and lift it.
My coach is an XLII so to lower the window on my locked coach I have a key hidden to allow me to open the door at the driver’s seat, where I can reach in and push the button on the dash to lower the entry door toll window.
Each type of coach or vintage of coach may require something a little different from what I did, but I am sure every one can be provided with a means to open the entry door in an emergency when needed.
As a practical matter an XL windshield can be removed and replaced so easily and quickly if I still had my XL I might not do anything to allow emergency access from outside, and might just figure something out to allow the entry door to be opened from the inside.

That is an extreme example, but it shows how critical the integrity of the thin inner liner has to be protected.
A faulty puncture repair (a plug and an inner patch is required) or a nick in the inner liner from something as simple as misuse of a tire iron can open a path for air in the tire to travel extensively between plies and cause a tire failure.
A brand new tire can fail in a very short time period if there is any nick or hole that allows air to escape through the inner liner.

Jon,
Looks like mine has been replaced at least once. The odometer is digital

Two different meanings. There is a value related to how it reads pulses and those pulse values are calibrated to make the speed and odometer readings accurate.
The pulse I am talking about is an electrical pulse applied before or during installation to fool the speedometer and odometer into thinking the bus is in motion so it starts showing accumulated miles on an odometer.
The problem with trying to reset the odometer to read current mileage is whatever input pulses are used they cannot be at a greater frequency than what would be viewed by the speedometer as 85MPH. At that “speed” you would need to spend over 1,000 hours to get the odometer to read 100,000 miles.

My guess here is you have a choice , go in the bedroom or drop the engine . While at Prevost Jack in June the manager told me they can drop it in 4 hrs . I think I would do the same rather than have the mechanic working in my bedroom . I guess it is a choice .
