Dean,
I am not familiar with your conversion but on my marathon with heavy use of the electrical system say on a hot day when the inverter is kicking in to help… I have noticed going to bulk as well but generally 3-4 hours later its back to float.

Beautiful Alvie.

The Ugly Fix works on DDEC II – V only.
The engine label will tell which engine you have.
Ass far as DPFs etc, if the exhaust comes out the bottom of the coach is probably does not have a DPF, etc. If it comes out the top it does.

Right now I am guessing Mr. Mark is spreading a lot more than rose petals…………

I would suggest plotting your trip on a paper map. If you use the GPS to get there, you will end up down a goat path with 4′ ditches on each side. I know because I did it… In the dark and in the snow………. Another Greenhorn move!!

Al…you would have to jack up your buidling to accomodate Jeff’s needs. You can’t lift a bus in yours now….otherwise, I would agree on your location!

Jimmy, you’re fine. We’re never in cold weather, so last late fall when we got stuck in Wi. later than normal (18 deg), we freaked. As long as you have power all your bay and toe kicks will keep you just fine. Geo.

We have had informal conversations with owners over the last several years about service providers, advertisers, censorship, and in general support for our coaches.
We not only allow, we encourage members to speak their mind when it comes to reporting on the quality of service and support or work done on our coaches. It is the only way we are all going to learn who we can trust our coaches to, where we can expect good quality service, or conversely where we should have some concerns.
Our advertisers are important to all of us. Apart from the fact they are solely responsible for providing the means to keep this site going (and buying Tom and I some diesel fuel), they support us in the operation of our coaches. Our advertisers cover the gamut. They convert our coaches, they repair our coaches, they redo the interiors and provide upgrades to the systems, and they specialize. We are not Consumer Reports and we do not evaluate all our advertisers, but we do rely on feedback from owners like our members so we try to be very careful when we solicit advertisers. Right now I am pleased to say the feedback we have gotten across the board supports our advertisers as a group.
This thread is a sad tale with a happy ending and I hope everyone benefits from the feedback we have gotten from this incident. We are very happy that the ending to this saga was from one of our advertisers and their excellent work. Please keep reporting your experiences because it helps us all when we have needs.

If you are talking about a device to carry a trike on the rear of the bus, make sure you observe the weight limits of the hitch receiver, even if the device gets attached to the rear structure at other than the hitch.
The limits (tongue weight) are usually 1000 pounds, but could be 1500 pounds a certain distance from the bumper, such as 6 or 8 inches. The further out the weight the lower the capacity. Failure to observe the limits is going to add substantial stress to the coach engine cradle and frame structure and is likely to result in damage.
Prevost will not stand behind or repair any damage due to exceedng those limits. There was a very good thread on this forum covering this topic in great detail.

Sounds like they wanted out of the deal guys, they could of easily gone to Explorer for insurance.
Ronald – You are exactly right about those scumbags at Zillow, I’m fighting that battle as well.

When i asked Troy about the issue on my coach, he confirmed and said this is normal…… Not sure if this is “year” specific but it will stop for several trips, then hear it again from time to time. With all the other coach issues to worry about, just forgot about this one..

During the “know your Prevost” seminar, I was asked to publish the name of the location where the BAD service we experienced during our attempt at a paint repair. The BAD service center was North Texas RV Repair in Denton, TX. I would discourage any PC member from using this service center.
Prevost Ft. Worth no longer uses them for their paint repair. All Prevost Ft. Worth paint repair is being sent to James Stallings at Xtreme paint & graphics.
Just another plug for Xtreme, they did an outstanding job and they will be our go to vendor for all of our paint repair in the future. Xtreme is just about 3 hours east of Dallas.
