It’s sad, but I use mine about 3 weeks maybe 4 out of the year.

tRying to get picture of bus on my profile. Have uploaded several times but it is gone when I look at profile. My phone number is 580-695-7043.

Jon I have had three sensors fail and leak you can get new seals but I just bought new ones I do not have them anymore on this coach , I have fill through valve stem caps now and barely have to add air to the tires over the year . I run a little higher pressure than most ,so up and down 5 psi is no big deal to me , always more air than I need for weight of bus

OK, thanks to Fred’s (Triple Foxtrot) diligence and persistence I am now able to run the new Rigid LEDs from the chassis side and the house side. He had to go the long way around Miss Murphy’s house but to his credit Fred would not quit until he decipered the super secrect code and figured it out.

Here is the back of the switch originally.

The four blades on the left side share no continuity with the four blades on the right side so it is basically two switches operated with one three position toggle. The middle position is off and the up position is on when the ignition is on. With the switch in the down position blades two and three on the left side of the switch have continuity so I put the 12 volt from the house on the second blade and the new switch leg on the third blade.

I also labeled all the existing wires and new wires so it should make sense to whoever follows me or even to myself if I have to get back in there after my memory fades.That should only take a week or so.

So the new LEDs can run from the bus or the house and there is no way to mix them up and have both on at the same time. Thanks, Fred, I could not have figured it out myself. I am supposed to drive Thursday night and I am looking forward to seeing how they do

Jerry, have not seen an H Vantare after ’03 with bus air. Alas, down the road, if we ever get a different bus and want to be in an H with bus air, we be looking for a Liberty. Geo.

In either case a substantial amount of money will be expended. Before buying a CC it might be best to find out if the original dash is rebuildable, if not the age of the dash, and if that information is not available the probability of needing a replacement and its cost.

The purchase price is likely going to reflect the risk.

[Tim]

I think that say it all. First you choose the best base Prevost-The the best converter. I am rebuilding a bus converted by the entertainment industry for universal use. No where near the quality of Jon’s Liberty. Just my—opinion.The real owners should reply on their brands. My opinion Prevost is a Coach the rest or just RV,s By the way I was a former RV Dealer. Bob

Hi Boateral,

Per the contract it’s a 2011 Prevost XL LT. I’ve attached the basics that show it’s a 45′ model. Please let me know if this is incorrect!

[Tim]

For purposes of a 10,000 mile run it is certainly going to show all that is needed to know about a Prevost. The two generators are because entertainers cannot afford downtime or to be uncomfortable so with only driver’s air on that coach I suspect one generator will be running almost all the time.

To make the experience realistic it should be used in the same manner as motorhome owners use their coaches. That means campgrounds, visiting various popular sites and destinations, and staying at some long enough to get to use the coach as a 2nd home as opposed to expensive transportation. Go to Sturgis, take it to a NASCAR race, stay at a first class RV resort for a week or so, over night in a rest area or a Walmart parking lot.

Stop at a Prevost service center and have some maintenance done to see the quality and efficiency.

Tow a car. go to a rally, and get to know Prevost owners.

You will end up with a Prevost.

[Tim]

I agree with Al, not interested.

Fuel News

STORAGE LIFE

Under normal storage conditions diesel fuel can be expected to stay in a useable condition
for:

• 12 months or longer at an ambient of 20oC. ……… Little more help for the PC Tenn. members = 68 deg.

• 6-12 months at an ambient temperature higher than 30oC. ……….. More help even for guys in GA. =86 deg

  As diesel gets older a fine sediment and gum forms in the diesel brought about by the
  reaction of diesel components with oxygen from the air. The fine sediment and gum will
  block fuel filters, leading to fuel starvation and the engine stopping. Frequent filter changes
  are then required to keep the engine going. The gums and sediments do not burn in the
  engine very well and can lead to carbon and soot deposits on injectors and other combustion
  surfaces.

I will have power for u too Jon don’t worry buddy
