T&B, What did you set your “cut out” at?

Tim I have two big ones in the bedroom two in galley and two up front and one in every bay I can put one in

Not said was that to counteract the circulation of exhaust gases through the engine the engine computer simultaneously introduces a greater flow of fuel to counteract the resulting loss of power. To prevent the added fuel from exhausting in the form of black smoke the turbocharger output is increased so there is a corresponding increase in intake air. To increase that air flow the boost pressure is increased to as much as 50 PSI, the compressed air is very hot, and we are provided with the pleasure of dealing with CAC hoses not rated for the increased temps or pressures.

The exhaust gases going through the engine are not a constant so some of the time the engine is performing as a non-EGR engine, but when the EGR cycle is initiated boost pressures jump from a peak of about 30 PSi to the 50 PSI peak.

Diesel engines by their very nature run very lean mixtures and that in part contributes to their economy of operation. A lean mixture may not necessarily increase the heat or pressure of combustion because there are so many factors that influence the internal cylinder pressure and / or ehaust gas temperature which is a good measure of the heat of combustion.

One way to cool the heat of combustion and thus control NOX is to add more air (or less fuel), but in doing that engine performance is adversely impacted.

I don’t see it Mikee..

I’ve reset the two GFCIs, one in the galley the other in the head, without success. The red indicator light on the small individual panel is nit own. Both the Crestron and the rear switch panel in the bedroom function. Are there any fuse locsted elsewhere for the front shades? Thanks.

“My advice to anyone who is going to try the same thing, (1) make sure you have a spotter (radio or walkie-talkie helps) helping you “

One of the best features of RV parks without pull through spaces is the entertainment provided by couples who go through the gyrations of backing into a site. The most humorous ones usually have the wife sceaming into the walkie-talkie waving her arms and making all kinds of gestures while standing where the driver cannot see her.

Any time a driver relies on someone else to guide him back into a space he has given up control.

Hey Peter, the wire harness going up through the arm to the motor has shorted out for the third time in 9 years.

Think I can fix it myself or I will talk to Jeff about it when I am at his “Donut Palace” next week.

Might call James Stallings and talk to him about it. Not far away and I like going down there.

Chip,

Do you an R O system that could be constantly discharging water into your holding tank due to a problem with the system?

If the accumulator tank is OK, you have a leak somewhere. Check the toilet to be sure it’s shutting off.

are the invertors on when unplugged?

We have seven years experience towing the one in our signature. It has been as simple and trouble free as could be. No battery cut offs or fuses to pull. No limitations on speed or distance. Our vintage was offered with two different transfer cases. So we got the one for the purpose, it’s called quadra drive II. New ones may use different words now, but a knowledgeable salesman should steer you into the right one. It has been all good.

I had the dealer install an extra bulb inside the tail light lense and run some standard flat four wire to the front so that we were not using any jeep electronics to run the tail/brake lights.

Also the odometer does not count the towed miles.

Yelnats…

I have never seen a ? in a litte box… hmmm ??

Foggy windows have been discussed a lot on this forum and there are plenty of options, including buying and replacing one yourself.

It is not unusual to find fogged windows and this has been a problem on all various chassis models.

Jon,

What year did the coaches become much more complex to simply flip a few switches to shut down?

[tom]

I can see and understand how the converters not only have a strong voice in this, they have access to managers pretty high up the Prevost food chain. But I think Buddy has put his finger on part of the problem. All corporations are like an aircraft carrier in that they are hard to turn in a different direction. Ad Volvo in the discussion because they control the purse strings and the matter gets far worse because they don’t even know or care about the market. Only the bottom line.

The converters are on our side. Trust me. When Karl had his CAC changed the full impact of the CAC issue was not know. He had his coach before PC existed, and I don’t think we knew the total impact of the problem until we on PC started to talk about it on the forum. I’d almost bet Liberty was unaware the Duralite was vastly superior to the OEM CAC. We know that now, but di we then?

I think if we are to resolve some of these problems and Prevost chooses to be non responsive we as owners have to keep it in our discussions, but we also have to consider other options outside the box.

Tom/Bill,

I’d love to see about getting it off of the web for 1/2 of that price. Do you think that because it looks like a Ford piece? I wonder how we would cross reference numbers.

If he only spent an hour on it, how did they rack up that labor charge?
