    Hey Sam, are you still at American RV park? We just drove past there and saw a pretty Prevost there. We’re camped just down the street at High Desert RV park for a couple of nights.

    We found them on the top shelf near the gas cans. I walked by them 3 times before they jumped out and almost bit me.

    I do.

    Even though we only buy our fuel at Pilot/FJ (high volume), and even though we don’t sit long, and even though we store the bus in a climate controlled – low humidity garage, I don’t want to repeat a problem we had years ago in a SOB RV.

    I doubt it is needed. It is not expensive. I don’t think it hurts anything. I only use it in the warm months (we live in TN).

    Ron, no painting required at least on mine. It’s mounted in the stainless steel area of my door and the new handle looked just like the old one. The only issue I ran into is that the new handle’s geometry is slightly different and we had to adjust the fitting that goes up to the lock.

    I just tried pasting the string in my reply into browser address line and it goes right to it.

    Maybe this will work.

    We were down 3 gallons of oil. The opposite side had also started to leak some oil. All of the brakes were saturated. We are going to have the brake liners replaced, along with the drive wheel seals and gaskets. Parts will arrive Monday, and we hope to be back on the road by Wednesday.

    Sam,

    You have a hub seal that has failed and the problem is not knowing how much oil has been leaked out, the rear end holds about 5 gallons, but it has to be at a level for oil to get to the hubs and bearings. If it was me, I would try to find someone to check the rear end oil level and add oil until it’s full for the short trip to the shop. Towing isn’t the answer, you have the same problem with the possibility of a dry bearing.

    You also likely have diminished braking on the drive and maybe even the tag if there is that much oil thrown around, so be very careful.

    My 97 Royale air bags were manual fill only, so this is not unusual. I actually liked it, as long as the air bags were leak free, it held air forever and didn’t have any other source of leaks such as lines, regulator, etc.

    Just replace the leaking bags and rock on Tony.
