After several phone calls, lots of time on hold, getting cut off once, and getting piecemeal information I have no information I consider solid enough to state as fact.
But I did gather part of the information that will require someone to verify in person, but I have enough confidence in to make and educated guess.
Forget the service bulletin because it expired and it has outdated part numbers. Some of the bulletin appears correct. For example, the 531469 part numbers for the cold side, that is from the CAC outlet to the intake manifold seems to be blue hoses based on the price of $34.50 each. However Prevost also offers an alternative which is Volvo part number 21448469 which from its $169.78 price tag suggests it is the red hose that would be better for the turbo to the CAC inlet.
The part number 531467 called for at the turbo is priced at $52.10 and it may be a red hose or blue. I tried to talk to guys in the Nashville parts department so they could actually put an eyeball on the part but the Prevost phone system makes it difficult if not impossible to talk to someone who can actually look at the part.
The CAC inlet hose in the bulletin calls for 531396, but that is now superceded by 531471, priced at $27.83 which sounds like a blue hose price.
My suggestion is simple…….if you swap out a charge air cooler, or want to replace hoses simply state you want red ones for the hot side and blue ones for the cold side. Accept nothing else. These hoses were characterized as being heavily ordered which I presume was because of failures. When I spoke in terms of replacing hoses as preventive maintenance it was stated as being a good idea based on the number of hoses ordered from the parts guys in Elgin.

That Rolls looks like a RR Silver Cloud II (1960-1962) which would have single headlights on either side.
Our Silver Cloud III (1964) has dual headlights. I’m guessing we both have the same transmission which is a 1950’s General Motors unit…… no park, neutral at the top, then D, 3, 2, and reverse on the bottom. Love that servo on the transmission that will not let you have power brakes if it doesn’t make a full revolution! Generally, that can happen if you roll less than 3 ft. which can happen when parallel parking.
Her name is ‘Rollerina’.
A base plate will probably have to be custom made.
And, we keep a small jar of ‘Grey Poupon’ in the glovebox….. you never know when the need will arise.

Mark Monson uses their internet I think and I almost did but we don’t video stream in the bus… just at home… I have an AT&T card with 20 GB month and rollover what we don’t use and I save enough when we don’t use it that when we do finally go we have plenty… the rollover is only good for 30 days I think… also if we need more another 10GB is available or whatever we need… No jacked up prices for overage which is great. In other words we can pay as we go for any extra and my little WiFi tells me my current use which is great.
WhenI talked to Frank he told me no-one ever goes over as there is plenty to go around and as long as the overall usage is under what they have available its OK… maybe they are selling too many packages now and everyone is going over… absolutely not your fault and I think they should have given you fair warning about your usage being so high…I would demand a proper invoice of the charges… I think that is very tacky on their part.
As a matter of interest do you know how many gigs you use in the bus?
By the way …. don’t forget you’ll always have Jeff.. that’s better than Liberty anyway !!
Cheers… Diane

Talked with Prevost Jacksonville and they confirmed the aux tank with AFOne was not necessary. If the line form the coach to the road would rupture, the emergency valve in the breaking suttee would come on when the coach hits 60 psi. One more easy question, do you prefer the tow bar with a direct receiver to the coach or the one that mounts to a ball and your receiver? I can see pros/cons to both.

Good thought Karl but I will pay for my own hoses.
Get Mr French to pay for our CAC, I bet we could get at least 50 documented failures and another 200 guys that don’t know their’s is leaking.

If it yours. you pay in one way or another, If you use 2 months a year you still have to pay 10 more months association/maintance fees. You are locked into same area year to year. you pat taxes-realstate. up you can rent it out (maybe ) a few times a year–realize you will prob want to use it prime time as would your potential renters. Have checked it out and it is cheaper to rent than own. monthly maintance fee was $145 month plus $875 property taxes plus utilities.. i could rent same property by the month including utilities for $600 month. Really got to watch residency requirements in some states and also remember who uses the property rules can be admended by majority of property owners vote any time including allowing park models. Just my past experience. Bob

6/16 is 12/32 and that is still a decent amount of tread. Did you mean 6/32?
On commercial vehicles the minimum allowable tread depth is 4/32 on steer tires and 2/32 on drives & trailer tires. That’s a bit thin for me…but it’s legal.
