Have you looked at the cans that lift the tag while someone else works the level in the cab? My bus would not lift the tags but the cans were working. So I shorten the chain that attaches to the tags axle and they now come off the ground.

Dick,
It seems to me that you have a ’99 coach. Ours will be a 2015 but obviously built in 2014…. I would call ours a 2015 as that’s what it will be titled as. Your title doesn’t mention anything about a ’98 does it?
Our ’08 coach was built in ’07 and is listed as an ’08 on the title.

I find the Prevost air drawing for my coach most difficult to read, drawing D140210, Revision M. I don’t see check valves on the supply lines to the Primary and Secondary air tanks, but I have to believe they should be there. Maybe there’s one on the output of the dryer, even though from a safety aspect it would make more since if they were mounted at the tanks.
Although this drawing and information isn’t specific to Prevost and doesn’t include a lot of the air system we have, this is a good drawing and troubleshooting guide for the main part of any air brake system. http://www.meritorwabco.com/MeritorWABCO_document/tp9973.pdf

Tom,
Congratulations on the new ride. You’ll have to let me know how the H compares to the XLII. On another note as of Wednesday we will no longer be a member of the 2 coach club! WooHoo! Just when I thought my only way out may be to sell the bus I got a buyer for the Mountain Aire. As it turns out, I think I could have sold it 3 times. Just 4 more days and baring any glitch I’m back to a one coach owner. Now post lots of pictures!

Tangeled with a tree! That means you were in the squeezins and moving the bus and Wendy was nowhere around to keep your sorry butt from doing bus damage! Just sell another Boobaroo and update to the new stuff. I gave you enough jingle at Pelican to buy a load of Sat Dishes….
Anyway I can help, just let me know.:)

People we know ask about our rv experiences and I tell them to rent the Robin Williams movie RV. I then tell them that I have done about all of those things except drive into the lake. The only reason we have not driven into lake is because we have not camped near to water.

If you want to have a great rally, you need to try to replicate the rally the PP’s had in Quebec City in 2000 (or so). Personally, I hated the folks that attended as they were way too full of themselves. However, the event itself was spectacular. Prevost factory tour, city tours, carriage rides, free time, dinner at the Chateau Frontenac, wow, so well done. I only worked as well as it did because it was technically a pre-rally to the largest FMCA rally ever. Brunswick, ME with 8000+ coaches. You want to do a “big thing”? Think big, find a site that will accomadate everyone and jump right in. By the way, the Quebec rally was a dry camping event. The city cleared the city docks to allow us to park but there was no power, just an awesome location. In case anyone here has forgotten, you have a generator on board an you can all afford to use it (even in Canada). I do and I can’t, but I did! Would love to do it again.

they make a special fine screen for them in Fla. Also they normaly don’t travel more than 100yds from a body of water. FWIW Ask your local Lowes for it. Also keep your outside sprayed! They come in everywhere.

Looks like A Marathon Bus is in your near future.

Where or where … ???

The owner of that bus found the engine in the bus was working hard to maintain 62 while towing the Hummer and trying to run the OTR so the occupants could enjoy whole bus air conditioning and the comfort that it provides. Any faster and the mileage would drop into single digits.
And what’s with the comment about the POG Inc. plate? That’s what we call recycling.

Slight variations in tire diameter are tolerable. What is unknown is at what point does the difference in diameter begin to create problems. Ideally all 4 tires on the drive need to be the same. If I had 3 tires the same, and one larger (such as to replace a bad tire) I would over inflate the larger tire by 10 to 15 PSI assuming it would carry a slightly greater weight than the smaller one next to it. It wouldn’t take long for the diameters to get equal or near equal.
The tires on the same side are not going to rotate with respect to one another even if different sizes. They cannot. They are both bolted to the hub.
If I had 2 larger and 2 smaller diameter tires I would pair up the tires of the same size and mount them on the same side. That means the smaller tires are going to revolve more per mile than the side with the larger tires. But again no big deal if they are nearly the same size as the other side. I have no idea how much difference is acceptable. The differential is not impacted by different revolutions from side side. It is designed to operate that way. Drive on small curvy roads and you will recognize the differential is dealing with tires on each side going at different RPMs.
I will look to see if there are any limits on size variations.
