That one was at Premium Coach Group in AZ but I understand it is now sold. One of their sales people called me a short time ago to ask if we would be willing to sell our coach since they had such a run they were low on inventory. I asked about the B coach and she said it had just sold. The TV was in an unusual place at the aft end of the single slide and it utilized different marine batteries, electronics and generator which she said made it harder for many lookers to come to grips with – hence the longer time on the market. From pics and the positive reputation B has in the NW I would guess it was a nice coach but never saw it myself.

Apples and Oranges Michael.
You are describing power lost to the house, yet it is OK at the chassis. At least that is what it sounds like.
Verify all bus electrical systems are normal. Then If my guess is correct you either have an isolator that supplies power from the 50DN to both the house and chassis (probably not) or you have the 50DN as the house system alternator and a separate 24V alternator dedicated to the chassis.
What that means is if my second option is correct the 50DN is not charging or there is an open circuit between it and the house batteries.
There are a lot of questions I could ask, but first have to understand how your coach is set up.

One of my Cruisair does not have any condensation coming out of the drain tube under the coach. I poured water in the tray and the water came out under the coach so the drain tube is clear. The unit gets pretty cool but I am sure it could be colder. What could be causing no condensation?

They did have 1 window 2 weeks ago . I thought about replacing a fixed one with it but the 2,500 cost scared me away . I also found they guess at value over at Vision .
Example . I asked for a fixed window price . He quoted 1,500 @ I said wow I think Prevost has them for less , he said I will take 1k . I called Prevost parts . they quoted me 500 dollars new for the window . Just saying do your homework . I do know Prevost does not have the swing out window it was discontinued .

Also there is an evacuation fan that can get clogged up with debris and fail.

Jon , Yes this box was live , not one I would touch . To disconnect power would require shutting down 9 additional coaches on the run . . Breaker and receptacle were removed as one unit after removing the neutral .

See…the original premise of this thread was do I need batteries or an equalizer because I was wondering if bad battery(s) could have the effect of showing me an imbalance warning?
Think I’m going to replace batts and have another run at it before I buy an equalizer.

My 97 Royale had an access plate in the spare tire area behind the front bumper that helped in accessing the floor cylinder.

On my Royale, the MAC valve for the stair cover slide has two small set screws that limit the air flow rate to prevent slamming. If your mac valve lacks those, I suspect you have the wrong valve.

Had a similar problem. Replaced everything ($$$) including the control board. Gen would run sitting still for hours. When driving it might run the whole trip or shut down shortly into the trip. Finally in SLC it wouldn’t run for more than a few minutes while traveling and would sometimes shut down after running for some time sitting still. Went to the local Koehler dealer. After about a minute of diagnosis he reached in and put just a little pressure on the fuel line which kinked and the gen sputtered and shut down immediately. What was going on was the line was old like the earlier post noted. When traveling if we got bouncing a little the line would bounce, kink and shut down the gen. After a while the line would kink sitting still when the gen compartment heated up. $75 later and a new fuel line and no problems since. yes I felt dumb for missing the most simple cause. Another Prevost lesson learned by experience and $$$.

Since every floor plan routes various cables, pipes, and other functions unique to its layout , including everything under the sun, including coolant lines to the Webasto heat exchangers the only real way to chase problems is to methodically open everything up.
That is so easy to say, but the reality is it is very hard. It not only involves opening up the duct where it is covered by Liberty and relatively easy, it involves emptying cabinets and removing back or floor panels, but also pulling out drawers and in the living room pulling the sofa bed or an entire cabinet.
The only good news is you are going to learn things you never knew about how the coach was built and where everything was located.

HI. can you recomend the correct part # for the soft start. my front c/a has a new compressor and related parts from fred last year. pulls higher amps than my other two oldies. and still shuts down in high road heat at signal light. or in average rv park afternoon voltages. have put a fan on condenser it helps. working on getting the right mister. not there yet any info would be great. thanks everybody for the postings.

There is no gauge but checking with digital gauge I have 49 8 lbs.
The check valve is in correct direction as the accessory system goes to zero after about 6 hours and belts stay tight. It holds air for the last time it sat for three weeks and didn’t leak down. Took it out to exercise the unit and the belts were loose the next morning. Don;t know how long after trip they actually lost air.
Need to take out early in morning and check time for the belts to loose air.
