Hi Brett ; We moved up to our prevost from a custom ordered 2006 tradition which we thought was going to be our last coach and all I can say is that when we ordered our tradition I was leaning twords a prevost and in rertrospect I should have made the move at that time. There is no comparison .Prevost is the best nomatter who the converter is.

Ronald,
In your post you wrote “air toilet”. Just to confirm it’s the compressor find the AUX air regulator for the toilet and turn it off. Normal air setting for toilet is 60 psi.
There is one thing about the air toilet which was discovered with the help of Microphor. There air toilet can leak air from your AUX reserve into the toilet “hopper” and you can’t hear it leak.
Another way, cap the air intake line to the toilet for the test.
Finding the bank of regulators is also a good idea so there status can be checked . They do leak and replacement is required no rebuilding. Marathon uses SMC brand.
The part that fails is the air-sequence valve with a price tag about $360. I’am not making this up and probably more $ now. You can spend $500 bucks on a Microphor toilet in a blink of an eye.

Microphor Air Sequence valve.

Ok so Tim and I just parked not one but two Breitling jets on the tarmac in the middle of where we are parking the coaches next week. The visual is going to be amazing when you all get in and parked. Honestly, I can’t wait!!!!

Ron,
If I wanted to find used late model Prevost bus parts the first place i would start looking is my local charter coach company. Their service people are likely to have places they get pieces and parts when new parts don’t make sense. They also might have their own stash of parts buses.
With XLII coaches now 15 years old you can be sure there are places parting out older coaches.

Stewart and Stevenson in Houston totally recommends the 50/50 “Power Cool” coolant part number 23512138 recommended by Detroit Diesel … I buy mine from Houston and it is excellent. I can check the container but I believe it is a fully formulated ethylene glycol based, low silicate… it is red and works long term…
My thoughts…

Prevost Community FB page was never a secret… I have been on it for years… It’s just not advertised… I am a huge fan of FB and it has never threatened me or my friends in any way… I know how to set my privacy settings and only have some 200 + friends on there ….many people have over 1000.
I use FB to keep up with all my family in Australia and it’s awesome… I am watching from across the world..
my families families grow from babies into adults… graduations… engagements… weddings… vacations … etc… Would be lost without it. Things I would never see without being there… keeping up with everyone so far away is beyond words for me. I am not paranoid about security but smart enough to know my limits and get the settings just right. If I had to pay to be on there I would !!To each his own !!

Someone asked earlier in the thread “Why the duplicity”? I think “duplicity” was spell corrected and the poster meant “duplication”, but yeah, why the duplicity? Why has this Facebook page been a secret for so long?
Inquiring minds want to know.

Mark is their any legal recourse we have in regards to people talking smack about prevost owners and how we all spend our time in our coaches? Im insulated! I saw the guy next to me in a 1960’s 20′ unpolished airstream dumping his waste tank the same way I do?
And here I thought I was special 🙁

Its interesting to hear what Steve says about FB impacting his business. Inexpensive, available to almost everyone, prolific marketing and advertising tool.
But FB is a sharp knife that cuts both ways. If a business stumbles and screws something up, and the consumer decides to blast the business on FB a considerable amount of damage can be done. The #1 thing that concerns me about FB are the people who type first, hit enter second, sit for a while fourth, sit for a while fifth, and then eventually get around to thinking about what they typed and what they just put out on FB and the Internet blasting a business.
BTW … I had trouble connecting Steve Fowler on FB with Steve Fowler on the PC Forum.

Alvie,
That is sweet!! I don’t think I am quite enough man to hand crank that old girl. The ring gear around that flyweel is hard on the hands. I had a 70 diesel with a pony motor and my 730 diesel had electric start but looked like hell beside that beauty!! All are gone now except for the 1934 R. It belonged to a neighbor since 1940. He passed away and his son traded it to me for a furnace…. Hope to get her done one day. For now seems like I have a 45,000 pound 45′ long project that has been keeping me busy!!Steve

In google, search for his users name from this forum and prevost. Comes up on a couple other forums where he has created accounts recently and seems to be trashing East Tennessee Luxury Resort (he must not have seen the amazing sunsets and taken that into account for the costs of oil 🙂 ) and making claims he paid his bill.
The one thread about where prevosts stay got a little out there and really made me realize people really are clueless and think all prevost owners are 1%’s (and im not talking the outlaw motorcycle types).
