I agree with George on this topic. Low mileage means coach not exercised, rubber gets hard, fluids start to gum up etc., etc., etc. Give me a coach with appropriate miles and a detailed service history anytime. To me an ad with low mileage or low time on genny is like an advertisement with a photo showing the rubber tread left on the tire. Or as Jon so aptly says, lots of tire dressing. Just my dime (2 cents after inflation)

Tom,
I don’t see a separate pressure switch unless it is under the cover on the back of the pump itself. Is that it?And Happy Independence Day to everyone on the forum!

No.
It won’t hurt, but it won’t help either.
Some people swear by Power Service anti-gel, but I’ve had several vehicles gel when using Power Service. I use Howes for anti-gel as it has never let me down.

May I add my contratulations also.
I am most flattered to be mentioned as a non-Prevost owner who is welcome to this forum. I have met some really treasured friends here and get to see some of them at Oysterfest. I am already reserved for the 2018 event.
Plus, I was discussing with MikeD yesterday the value the various forums have to me as a Foretravel owner. Prevost Community is more enjoyable, more helpful and a source of more friends than any other forum I am on.
Never in the history of forums, have so few done so much for so many.

Congrats Jon & Tom!
Great site, but even better folks …

The CB’s i guess are the circut breakers that you can reset. Just push the button in to reset. They are in the compartment over the engine up on the bulkhead. 2 wingnuts fasteners and door hinges down. Mine is marked on door were everything goes and does. There electric goodies under your feet on outside, 0n top door. Bottom door air tank and coils.

It’s a seperate electric element. One of mine went 4 years ago, easy fix on mine. Both are stacked inside plumbing door on mine, on your H, I don’t know but if you can touch it shouldn’t be to bad.
Later

Hey Al…you should have asked Frank Jr. at the rally why they still do it. It would have been priceless to see the reaction.
I was told that they were not a problem if you “took care of them”.

If yours are Trace 4000’s, I set my LBCO, low battery cutout to 24v and use that as the auto gen setup start.
I’m like you, rarely use the auto-start, but sometimes it’s needed.

Ron.
I am told the Uniroyal brand is a Michelin brand. That Michelin started making truck size tires in the Uniroyal brand in 2016 in a plant in USA. Would they be equivilant to BFG tires?
Second, if the technology trickles down and one is happy with Michelin brand tires in 2010, would he be happy with BFGs in 2017 for the same reason? Just courious.
Thanks a bunch for chiming in.

I understand exactly what you are saying, but I can add that my voltage meter also does not know what power source is on and it gives me a different number depending on if it’s the generator or the shore power. If .5 volts really won’t make a difference for the batteries, I’ll just let it go. I’ve just read a lot of posts stating that following the voltage recommendations is vital for optimal battery life.
I appreciate all the feedback and am very glad this forum exists!

The orientation of the valve stem has to be changed so you can install a Pressure Pro sensor, but also so you can get the tire chuck on the stem to check pressures and fill the tire with air. On the drive axle the orientation is influenced by the hub which can interfere with access to the stem for filling.
On another thread I discussed the importance of matching tire sizes on the drive axle. I would have given no thought to where the tag and steer tires went, but now I know you have to carefully measure them and put them on the axle so the pairs are as close to the same diameter as possible.

If you are working under the bus, unless it is lowered all the way down before you slide under your only option is to support it at the chassis support points. I successfully did almost everything possible from a barn floor, including changing air bags and brake chambers by raising the chassis as high as it would go and supporting the chassis.All the work you have to do takes place at the rear end or under the coach at the axles and you can sit up in there to do the work.
I now have a service pit in my garage but I still raise up the coach and support the chassis before I go under it. You likely will be reaching over things like the axles and that creates a pinch point so always protect yourself supporting the chassis at the chassis support points.
There are several ways to support the chassis. One is to build or have built supports specific to the coach.
A better alternative may be from Northern Tool or Harbor Frieght such as these:
The jacks can be placed under the chassis support point with the hydraulics all the way down, and then screw the center post all the way up to the chassis. No chance of failing and if needed can be used to lift axles to change or remove tires for example.
I have and use both types of supports shown above and both work well. Driving up onto ramps is perfectly fine if the chassis is all the way down, but that kind of defeats the purpose of the ramps. BTW I have a full set of ramps capable of carrying the coach 8 inches higher, but I have not used them for the bus in 20 years, and instead use them to service my cars or dump truck, none of which will drop down like a bus on air bags will.
